How does it work?
A course is the basic unit.
Imagine it as a community with:
Different Roles
Different Groups
Different Permissions
Central, Organised Resources
Static Documents (doc, pdf, xls)
Web Links (e.g. Exchange rates)
Videos (Youtube, recorded lessons...)
ASSESSMENT!
Assessment
Diagnostic / Baseline
Formative
Summative
Formative
Have we ever assessed this fast enough?
Computers offer immediate feedback.
Summative
Are we really objective in our marking?
Computers show no bias.
Learners, The Bar, SATs, Accountant ...
Baseline
Do we do this often enough?
Computers can do a 10min diagnostic before every lesson.
Try it.*

Oh, but it gets better...
