What is possible for teachers and pupils using blended learning techniques in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
Moodle
Moodle is a content management system (Virtual Learning Environment - VLE) that complements lessons taught in a virtual classroom by
providing anytime, anywhere access to resources, quizzes, homework, videos, discussion boards and chat rooms.
Tutors can also collect, mark and return work to students, if appropriate.
LearnLinc
LearnLinc is a virtual classroom product that enables learners to take part in real-time lessons from any computer with internet
access, providing the convenience of access from any location with many of the features of a face-to-face lesson.
This software is currently used in the DLC lessons.
Breeze
Breeze is an online meeting room and training system, provided by Macromedia, that enables learners to take part in real-time meetings from
any computer with internet access, combining video, audio and collaborative tools in an exciting way.
This software is quite new and may be more suitable than LearnLinc for online training.
Video Conferencing
Video conferencing software enables one-to-one training where webcams are used to enable the trainer and learner to see and talk to each
other in real time as well as share and work on the same files and documents (application sharing).
Screen Capture Software
Screen capture software can be used to record an activity on a tutor’s computer screen for replaying back by an online learner in their own
time.
Net Meeting
Software which allows one-to-one online text messaging and application sharing.
Skype
Skype is free software which allows you to talk to others from computer to computer instead of using a telephone.
Users can make conference calls, to computers and/or telephones, and also write text messages whilst online.
Movies
Short video clips to demonstrate activities, allow learners to view teaching and learning situations or observe a ‘talking head’
can be made by tutors and posted online for learners to view or download.
Live Streamed Video
Cameras can be set up in different environments to provide streamed videos with ‘webcam quality’ images and sound through the Internet.
Archives of these resources can be built up and made available to teachers in an online ‘library’.
