A bit about us

There are already numerous, perhaps countless, blogs that deal with technology in education. Some of these report on the personal experiences of teachers in the classroom, some deal with larger philosophical issues. Many are very interesting - though even from those that aren't, much can be learned.

But who needs yet another blog of this sort? That's a hard question to answer - but we'll try, though not in a statement of purpose here, but by dealing with issues that are hopefully of interest.

The Online Learning Environments Unit of the Mofet Institute is a group of educators who offer training and support to teacher educators who have chosen to implement online teaching in their courses. The Unit conducts online activities in the form of workshops, symposiums and seminars as well as publishes an online journal in the field of teacher education.

We'll be reporting on these activities (and inviting you to attend them) here. But we also hope to engage you in discussion around these issues.
