[elearning] In pursuit of research and data

[Paul Chandler]

Hi folks,

HOW teachers are using ICT is a long-standing interest of mine (PhD case
study of 3 teachers).  May be those of us with a "particular" interest in
this should band together in some fashion?

A couple of things have interested me: (a) what they are using (b) why and
(c) what teaching procedures are typically employed (ie how).  I don't know
of any substantive work on teaching procedures of computer-using teachers
(though I'd stand to be corrected).  A wide-scale study on such a thing
would certainly be interesting (as would a bunch of other things, of
course).

Cheers,



 No worries I will forward it in the next couple of days. I think your point
