How is e-learning presented /considered or thought about within your own context?

If you have read my profile you will realise I teach Physics to pupils aged 11-16 at a state secondary school. In terms of e-learning, there really isn't much I already know, hence why I signed up for this module.

As a school we use Moodle as our VLN. However it i only currently used effectively by the IT department and training for other staff has been minimal. As a result, pupils see e-learning as a very isolated tool used only in IT lessons and not as the cross curricular tool it should be.

A few adventurous staff (including myself) have attempted to use e-learning within our respective subjects. Whilst this has proved successful for the areas / topics we used it for, it still remains isolated as a seldom used tool, often only used to tick a few professional development boxes.

With this in mind I have set myself the target of having one topic available via e-leaning by May half term, so Y11 pupils can access it from home and use it to aid their revision during the Easter break.

Wish me luck!
