Nick Ford & I put in a joint application to the CPIT Foundation for funds to run the mLearning pilot. Our bid has been successful, so it is now time to put our pilot plans in place.
As a forerunner, the local paper did a write up about the project. The main goals of the pilot are to test out the various parts of our mlearning project with a cohort of first year apprentice bakers. It will be a bringing together of all the things we have learnt thus far with the various trials reported on this blog.
A couple of interesting items which I will explore in the next couple of weeks before adding into the pilot as possible eportfolio repository alternatives are:-
- Comic Life (via Thomas Cochrane’s blog that points to Joao Rivera’s blog on using comic life to chronicle boat building
- Mahara, the NZ open source eportfolio site and
- Slideshare, since a few apprentices have started to use powerpoint for their year three portfolios on gateaux / torten and breads.
It will be exciting times ahead!

Thanks for the link to comic life and boat building Selena - have suggested that our ictpd cluster teachers have a look - it fits well with our "students as researchers" focus -
Comic life for sequencing and a tool for metacognition (planning monitoring and evaluating)
Hi Artichoke,
will welcome feedback on useability of comic life.
Also, pageflakes hs had a slight revamp & might be worth exploring for use as 'personal learning portals'.
all the best, Selena
