Designing for Flexible Delivery

The University of Melbourne

Subject Coordinator - Ted Clark

Mon 5th March 2007
As per the subject outline 'Designing for Flexible Delivery' identifies basic software and hardware solutions to industry and training needs. Criteria for the use of software for training purposes are developed. It provides strategies for the effective integration of a range of media into training content as class, world wide web, and multimedia presentations.

Here's what I wrote on the Online Discussion: "Flexible delivery of teaching can be defined as the provision of learning and assessment opportunities in modes which serve to increase the students control over when, where, how and at what pace they learn".

The full text can be viewed from the University of Queensland website at: http://www.tedi.uq.edu.au/conferences/flex_delivery/Purdie.html

That statement describes what Flexible Delivery is, but our particular subject deals with 'designing' for flexible delivery. So I think that is where all the options of utilising various forms of electronic media comes in, which is the heart of this subject.

Comments?

Now that I've started my Blog, I need to complete some readings into this subject so I can actively and positive participate and contribute to the discussions.

Marty's Introduction

Hi Designing for Flexible Delivery classmates. This first post is just a quick intro with a couple of photos so you can get to know me a little better. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to computers, but I'm having fun learning more about them. I think that Ted's class will prove extremely helpful for me.

I thought that you'd be interested in these photos of me and my favourite sport, as there are not many Aussies that participate in the sport of Sled Dog Racing. I don't do too much racing now, but I still get involved as a race official or race organiser a couple of times a year.

I'm a Physical Trainer in the Navy and due to my experience, age, and rank I mainly deal with Sports Administration these days. I also hold the position of Senior Instructor at the Australian Defence Force Physical Training School (ADFPTS) at HMAS CERBERUS, near Hastings. This is where the Australian Defence Force (ADF) conducts training for various trades and specialisations such as Engineering, Electronics, Storepeople, Cooks, and of course Physical Trainers (PT). During my younger days I instructed group fitness sessions, officiated at various sports, facilitated adventurous training and conducted personal training, but I don't do much of those activities anymore. Sports administration, fitness facility management and PT course co-ordination are the major tasks that I do these days.

I'm married to Harriet, whom I met in Seattle, USA in 1983 and we have a 4 year old daughter named Mathilda.

I'm looking forward to sharing ideas and comments during the Online Discussion sessions and learning more about how software and hardware can benefit and enhance industry and training needs. I look forward to reading your comments and looking at your Blogs too.

I'll periodically update my Blog here with more text and photos, so please visit here again soon.

Cheers,

Marty
