In our program the Midwifery Council dictate expectations regarding time frame for completion components that must be met etc, this is going to increase instead of getting less. So while we are looking at delivering more flexibly we are also having increasing control and regulation imposed on us. An interesting juggling act.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464510128406258242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288471521323340587.post-30392421960308410832008-03-08T18:18:00.000+13:002008-03-08T18:18:00.000+13:00Look forward to geting to know more about you and ...Look forward to geting to know more about you and your department. cheers SarahSarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-288471521323340587.post-38414249639274291912008-03-07T22:05:00.000+13:002008-03-07T22:05:00.000+13:00Chef you have listed some very important challenge...Chef you have listed some very important challenges. Sometimes being innovative is tricky when working to the constraints imposed by industry. It will certainly take some creative and fast talking. <BR/><BR/>For example, assessments generally have to meet strict accreditation standards and something like online marking of an exam by a computer may be prevented if the accreditation body is unwilling to allow question styles to be changed to fit an automatic computer marking system. or they may worry about cheating and how it will be supervised. <BR/><BR/>Also could you be more flexible if there were more self-paced resources? So people could work to their time frame?<BR/><BR/>Now you have thought about some of the challenges - have you some thoughts about how you might solve them using the headings - technology, Pedagogy, Implementation of strategies, institutional framework?<BR/>BronwynBronwyn hegartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032750297040394983noreply@blogger.com
