Brad’s Ve-learning project

Well the bremertafe Delicious account seems to be working reasonably well.  Time & feedback will tell (in the longer term tagged browsing should help further, when IE7 is up & running).

So now to the main point of the exercise – getting something working in an educational context.  Here the focus is on putting together & making accessible a set of subject links for Horticulture.  This has been raised with the SPIG.  To date, I have a list of sites from our own people (thanks Nick), plus a couple of lists submitted by other Hort teachers (Carol Cameron & Peter Brock).  As I have been impressed with the Delicious exercise I thought I might try to start with a similar arrangement for Hort, then look at WIKI alternative, & test both with the delivery staff to see their preferences.  We cannot quite begin with the social sharing as previously.  The first efforts were to use the info provided from these three sources & to build a set of weblinks from these.  Two of these were very similar, but together enabled the creation of a substantial number of links & the creation of a significant number of basic tags.  Theoretically, this should cover most of the needs of teachers in the area, or at least allow for the creation of some tags that will then enable identification of the other links needed to fill an area out.

An account has been created at http://del.icio.us/horticulture – now to populate it!
