So far so good...

Intro

It's Gary here. I teach mainly in the areas of sport and exercise psychology at the Otago Polytechnic. I feel I have a fair degree of experience both in flexible learning and teaching, however, I have very limited experience using electronic resources such as blog’s etc that are explored during the flexible learning course.

Why am I doing this course?

I’m starting to feel like an old fella who’s getting left behind a bit in terms of the new technologies that are becoming available and I see this course as an opportunity to help get me back up to speed.

Also, I’m really keen to learn new methods that might enable me to teach my students. If I can learn new strategies to ‘reach’ my students through this course then, brilliant!
