A paper entitled “Programme design that puts the “me” back into learning experiences and spaces” that was presented by Hazel Owen. It was give virtually at the DEANZ 2008 conference “My Place, My Space, My Learning” – Distance and Virtual Education Sunday 17 August – Wednesday 20 August Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand, Wellington (http://www.deanz.org.nz/conf2008).

The abstract: “A key objective of tertiary education is to foster fundamental shifts in learners’ understanding of what learning and thinking comprises, and the role they perform. Learning theorists stress the requirement that students are involved in process-based, experiential activities. The design of curricula and courses must therefore encourage engagement with tasks, peers, teachers and the community.
This paper outlines a forty-week Computer, Research Skills and Projects (CRSP) course developed for Foundation students at Dubai Men’s College (DMC) using a blended learning approach underpinned by socio-cultural principles and an Activity Theory (AT) framework, and reports briefly on the ociated research study.”
