Happy to talk off-list if you like.

At this stage Mark, it is nothing more than a conversation over coffee
but many of the lessons would be delivered by distance ed (perhaps
Skype).

However, I expect we would consider some face-to-face tutorials on a
regular basis to supplement these.

Delivery, submission and correction of work would be done
electronically. 

 

PS Normally I would have replied directly to Mark but I have sent this
reply to the list in case others were also interested.

Do you mean students will undertake an entire course entirely via
Skype??

I'd consider Distance Education as an option...

Dear colleagues

I had an interesting chat with my principal about sharing classes across
our two campuses (campi?).

She suggested that in the case of a class not being able to run on one
campus due to small numbers, students can watch the class on the other
campus using something like Skype.

 

Assuming that students have access to the right technology e.g. computer
with web cam etc, has anyone actually achieved something like these?
