CPD Projects: D-Day

02Feb10

Back in November, I did a short presentation for my university’s CPD network on using technology in CPD training courses.  This is something of a hot topic for us at the moment, as employers often like options that allow their staff to do courses online.  It can be rather expensive to send them away for training!  There was a lot of interest in the presentation, and many questions asked in the seminar session afterward.

As a result of this, about three weeks ago, we put a call for proposals out to ask people involved in CPD to submit project proposals they would like to have technical support for.   Since then, I’ve been talking to and meeting people across the university, finding out about their ideas and urging them to submit a proposal.

Today is Decision Day.  The proposals have been submitted and we need to make decisions on which ones can be done, based on various criteria laid down.  I’m very encouraged by the proposals; the amount of interest, the variety of projects, and the enthusiasm people have shown for it.  That’s important for me; I think it’s suggestive that this model of support for e-learning could be very effective.  I hope that turns out to be true once the projects are underway; good results can only help increase our CPD profile here at Cardiff.

I’ve got everything crossed
