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.
