e-chronicle

Click here for details of the learning community that I have selected for my assignment in EMT1, including my view on a learning community, how I recognise the e-community as a learning community, why it might be of value to my experiences as a learning community, and my expectations as a participant in the community.

Click here (for EMT1) and here (for EMT2) to follow the weekly readings and activities in my e-learning journey…

The two pages will (hopefully) be updated on a weekly basis. So keep a look out for new, exciting stuff every week!

My name is Joseph Yeo. I am the Student Administrator at the ELSSA Centre in the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS). In a nutshell, the ELSSA Centre is a small academic unit that provides academic language and literacy skills assistance to UTS staff and students. I’m also a casual tutor with Charles Darwin University (yes, in Darwin, NT!), in a compulsory 1st year subject on academic literacies.

I’m also a part-time postgraduate student in UTS, studying for my M.A. in e-Learning. This is my first semester, and I’m enrolled in two subjects: e-Learning Experiences, Models and Theories (EMT) 1 & 2.

It’s been more than ten years since I assumed the role as a student (in the formal sense) - did my M.Litt. in Sydney Uni in 1997 - so I’m quite apprehensive about being a student again for the next two years.

I’ve created this blog to chronicle my e-learning journey, and you are invited to share in my joy and woes, tears and fears, and witness my growth in the field of e-learning.

Welcome aboard.
