<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please don't ever apologise. You weren't being
presumptuous, I can imagine what it looks like reading the job description for
the first time. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To answer your question, the e-learning position
was offically created last year and filled at the beginning of this year. In the
past, the Faculty Head and the relevant staff was responsible for
conducting a whole school audit of where technology was used, which standards
were covered, was the assessment graded or ungraded, etc. We also identified
whether or not technology was used to a High, Medium or Low
level. By the end of the audit, we were all clearer on where and how
technology was applied. It was mainly up to the individual subject teacher, with
the support of the Faculty Head, to implement IT in an effective way,
remembering it was a tool for learning and not just used for the sake of using
IT.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Over the last couple of years, teachers' IT skills
have multiplied and it was obvious we needed someone to help refine our
methods and help IT continue and evolve. And here we are today...
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have a lovely night, litsa.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Litsa,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It sounds like you have a truly integrated
team working very well together rather than pushing the elearning person out
the front to do it all. I think that is the key and the balance sounds spot on
at your school. It was presumptuous of me to assume otherwise .. sorry
...:))</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thanks again for sharing the job
description.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I do have a question about the journey from
the inception of the elearning job to the present. Was it necessary to
deconstruct and reconstruct the curriculum in each area or was it a stepwise
refinement process to move towards the embedding of learning technologies ?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Kevork,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I totally understand.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as I know though, our e-learning
co-ordinator regularly liaises with faculty convenors and the director
learning and teaching, as well as teaching staff along the way, to help keep
up with the whole technology extravaganza. It is a massive job if its done
properly. Our e-learning person is so switched on; calm, approachable and
highly qualfied to guide the rest of us. He does a marvelous job. But I
get what you're saying.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Litsa,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I do worry about some of these
statements in the job descriptions. Eg. <FONT face=ArialMT size=3><FONT
face=ArialMT size=3>
<P align=left>"To identify new and emerging computer based learning
technologies capable of enhancing the quality of the educational program
and outcomes for all students in the College ".</P>
<P align=left>Am I missing something here ?</P></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The poor elearning coordinator has to
identify w</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>hat emerging technologies
will enhance the educational programs of ALL students:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1. Integral calculus in
maths</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2. Appreciation of art </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 3. Robotics programming</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 4. English literacy</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 5. Analysis of geographical features
in landscapes and satellite data</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 6. CAD/CAM in technology</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> should I go on ? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can such a person ever be qualified to
identify such emerging technologies in ALL educational programs
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Frankly whoever writes these job descriptions
does not understand what an elearning coordinator can and can't do. As
long as the word embed is in the statement somehow it makes it
ok.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is the job of the learning area manager
and level manager (VELS speak) to identify the technology and then ask the
elearning coordinator to assist with its implementation, staff PD and
monitoring of uptake. The elearning coordinator has to understand the
network, how software can be deployed and how it can be used and applied.
If he or she does not then it is best to just let the network manager do
this part of the job.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some controversial statements or really a
statement of how things can work efficiently with true successful outcomes
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Happy to discuss and expand. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
