About me
I live with my partner Rick & daughter Sophie on a farm in Taranaki. We have lots of chickens, sheep & the occaisional pig or two.
My experiences with elearning stem back to my teacher training days, when in 1997 I was accepted into Massey University’s first fully online Bachelor of Teaching Programme. I found that learning online not only opens up access and opportunities to learning but can be just as rich and interactive as face to face education. Since this time I have been instilled with a passion for elearning that has continued to shape my professional pathways.
I was previously working for Core Education with the VPLD programme, and I am the national co-ordinator for the VLN Primary online schools and secretary for the VLN Community Council.

Hi Rachel thanks for your advice, have registered myself at your site and somehow ended up enrolling myself in German lol (it's actually my mother tongue so that's not a problem really). I would like to have a look around to see how things are working on moodle, before requesting a space. How do I best go about this looking around? Many thanks, Monika

Thanks Rachel Ill keep that in mind, the history of recording would be a great topic to do with primary students in an e-Learning environment. Thanks and will keep in touch!

Hi Rachel, thanks for getting in touch! We have quite a few plans around VC here at the museum and I have lined them out on the discussion board: http://www.vln.school.nz/mod/threaded_forums/topicposts.php?topic=330335&group_guid=330333
It'd be great if you would join the group and share some of your thoughts with us!
