"Podcasts and Wikis turn cafes into lecture halls" The Age
http://www.theage.com.au/national/podcasts-and-wikis-turn-cafes-into-lecture-halls-20100410-rzye.html> says that while the time spent at university lectures may be decreasing, the overall participation rate of students in their learning is increasing. This is due in part to the easier access to learning through tools such as podcasts and wikis.
The use of podacsts and wikis by students is driven by student demand with factors such as: students needing to be employed longer hours to support their studies; an increase in participation of people from non-traditional backgrounds and regional students.
This type of elearning seems to support student learning and back up the traditional lecture and tutorial system at universities.

New Blog Edublog
Hi, I have created a blog in Edublog to focus on my learning in Flexible Learning Environments.
Wiki not Blog!
The wiki I created for my students is being used by them rather than the blog. This is probably because there is more content in the wiki and it is enough time just using the wiki.
This is the wiki:

Page Flakes
For those team members that like their ICT tools in one page, try Pageflakes. It is a feed aggregator, it takes feeds from a variety of different sources and puts them in the one place.
You can customise a page with windows for email, facebook, twitter, RSS feeds etc.
This a screen shot of my Pageflake set up:
See this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAq4tanY0ao for a video explaining Pageflakes.
