Value of an informal network

I initially wrote this post as an entry for this weeks discussion, but as I think about it more, I can emphasize the importance of an informal network when it comes to learning new technologies. I would say I have picked up bits and pieces from people who I work with and my students. Any ways, here is my post…

The fact that Benoit is debating between the two systems leads me to believe that he has the inclination and the technical ability to administer both systems. The scenario provided states that this is a large university and the Faculty of Arts is now using Moodle.

My question is – how many people are using Moodle in the Faculty of Arts and is there a ‘tech-champion’?

I believe that this is an important question as I know the value of working with one or two “tech champions”. If there is a core group of people in the Faculty of Arts he might be able to access direct support. Sometimes it is the informal networks that provide us the most useful tools!

We certainly are !

Nice piece of work Sarah. I think 565 will be a good space to explore these sorts of issues, though like most things related to teaching it will be an ongoing, evolving process. And, almost entirely, a fun one!

Welcome to 565!
