Our strong tradition of innovation & experimentation
Delivery and exploration
Our main focus is supporting academic enrichment of the Learning Management System, which is currently Blackboard, with a range of learning resources including Readings Online, lecture recordings, other rich media content, and links to other useful tools and resources outside the LMS.
We are developing and supporting Sakai@Melbourne as a platform offering research collaboration tools for research teams. This platform is separate from the LMS and does not replace subject sites within the LMS.
We are assisting Melbourne Ventures with some of their explorations of commercialisation options for some legacy courseware products that were developed outside the LMS, generally in CD-ROM or DVD formats.
Past achievements in collaboration with academic colleagues
All current initiatives draw upon a rich body of expertise and experience across the University, and a strong tradition of innovation in multimedia development for learning. See our archive at the bottom of this page for insights into past achievements by professional and academic colleagues who are passionate about how educational technology and multimedia can enhance and transform the learning and teaching experience. Our current and future work in collaboration with these academics is informed and inspired by our shared tradition of innovation.
A possible future focus
In the spirit of this tradition of innovation and experimentation, we would like to partner with any academics that are interested in evaluating the learning potential of social networking tools:
