We will be reviewing some of the Study Skills
  • Note taking
  • Referencing - thought I might add my 2 bobs worth!

and building on them in the area of:
  • Academic structure
  • Thinking
  • Essay writing...
The wikieducator learning modules most useful for this session are:
- Setting personal learning goals
- Apply APA referencing
I wont be doing these two modules with you today but they are very good catch up and review exercise sessions to complete your next assessment task - due date 24th July....

Elluminate session 2 - Tuesday 9th June 1 - 2 pm

Hi group


Hope you have been happily practicing your new set of massage skills since last week. I was inspired to massage some family members as a result. I find it fascinating that I can learn as a teacher - more about the very things I am supposed to know - hope some of you end up being teachers too!!

This week in Elluminate - Study Skills will explore:

Assessment task page - I have checked both our Study Skills course blog (review David's intro to learning post) and the Google document - go to Certificate of Relaxation massage - Part Time (PT) and scroll down the Study Skills course page assessment tasks. You will see this course has 8. You will already have embarked on Tasks 1 and 2.

Task 3 - Feed aggregation - Means sending me a regular email to check in about what you are receiving in your Feed readers. More about this tomorrow.

Study Skills Assessment Task 3 – Blog - Feed aggregation/check in on learning – 25May-5Jun. I have already requested three reflective blogs from you - makes these the Feed aggregates for this due date and 8-19Jun. Next dates are 29Jun-10July. 20-31July.

Task 4 - Learning Strategies - Last weeks session was about the various learning strategies at your beck. Please read through your notes from the last Elluminate (recording available by going back into the Elluminate date and finding the recordings tab on the upper left hand corner - click!!) and also access the following article: Kizlik, B (February, 2009). Effective Study Skills . You can click the title, which I have linked and is underlined or cut and paste this url into a Google search - http://www.adprima.com/studyout.htm

SS AT 4 – Written – Approaches to learning checklist – Monday 15th June - change of due date as we get our heads around the tasks and online learning..

I am also keen to set up the Time Management Power Point and take us through that discussion - this is in preparation for Assessment Task 7. An alternative reference is the Wikipedia entry on Time Management

SS AT 7 – Blog/ Written - Time management chart – Friday 31 July

That 'll probably be enough - so set yourselves a couple of questions and here's to all out microphones working - p.s. remember to give yourself plenty of time and have the HelpDesk number handy in case of technic problems - 0800 765 948.

See you there
