ELESIG – for researchers of the student experience

by

I’ve just welcomed the 71st member to the new Ning community for ELESIG. It’s great to see so many elearning researchers and practitioners who have an interest in the learner experience. The take up for the community and for the inaugural workshop – was it only last week? – has been excellent and just shows what a need there is for a network of practice in this area.

I’m really pleased that Reach Further was appointed to lead this community. It already has many of the elements that make a community vibrant and effective, including:

  • stakeholders who are fully engaged and take part regularly
  • a clear focus and a purpose for its existence
  • appropriate technology (Ning and wikis at the moment)
  • a mix of online and offline activities, each as valuable as the other
  • an interested constituency who are already familiar with social networking and the uses of communities of practice

If you are a researcher or practitioner in the area of elearning with an interest in the learner experience, join us at ELESIG.Ning
