At the end of July 2008, the RSC took part in several staff development sessions. Theses were mostly face to face sessions. Many colleges now have the facility to run training sessions online for their staff. Maybe this is an area that could be developed as this would not only give the practitioner first hand experience of what its like to be a learner on a e-learning course, but also this may be a way to engage with the part time staff who find it difficult to attend staff development days. Moodle seems ideal to do this. A few examples of training that could be run in this way could include mentoring training, stress management, personnel safety and home security etc. The benefits to the learning provider would be seen as being inclusive in offering training to all its staff, cost effective and setting an example for all other courses to follow.
Take a look at the Moodle website which discusses some the peadodgical issues. http://docs.moodle.org/en/Pedagogy
If you have any examples of how moodle is being used for staff development please share this information with the commuinty.
