Abstract

At Work Based Learning we have distance learning students that can not easily access the web. We needed an offline induction resource that was scalable for our university undergraduates to our doctoral candidates. Our programme is trans-discipline, inclusive of many professions, so we wanted to support all of our international stakeholders with access to online communication in the design as well. The resource was pedagogically structured to accommodate the learning preferences of the offline student while anticipating the growth of the networked millennium learners. We address the media literacy spectrum and how the pedagogic design of eLearning events must adapt to the student’s needs. It is informed by social media theory recognising oral, print and the growing impact of digital literacy. An exemplar is reviewed addressing logistical, usability and pedagogic concerns. We conclude with a summary of lessons learnt with pedagogic guidelines offered and some possible software solutions.
