Learning
The test of successful education is not the amount of knowledge that pupils take awayfrom school, but their appetite to know and their capacity to learn.’ Sir RichardLivingstone, 1941
‘One of the core functions of twenty-first century education is learning to learn inpreparation for a lifetime of change.’ David Miliband, 2003
‘Pedagogy should at its best be about what teachers do that not only helps students tolearn but actively strengthens their capacity to learn.’ David Hargreaves, Learning forLife, 2004

“Get involved in activities that somewhat force you to learn. Being involved in finding speakers for organizations, preparing presentations, etc. All of these put deadlines on learning activities that move them right into a To Do list”.Tony Karrer

Ode to Graduate class 2007
Class of 2007 Diploma of e-learning – graduation poem When you started in this E-Learning study program, you started with a
goal Be it personal development, professional competence and it has taken a
toll! For 18 months you’ve had no weekends, late nights and used early
mornings to study. You’ve been a mentor, a virtual team member a facilitator and even a
buddy You’ve had group projects, virtual teams where you’ve worked with each
other There’ve been activities and assessments and you’ve mentored another So it’s timely to reflect and think about all that you’ve learned And most importantly to focus on this Diploma of e-learning that you have
now all earned. In this e-learning program and online there’s been nowhere to hide Because we’ve ensured that you were visible and no matter how hard you
tried You’ve been connected through janison you’re on msn and skype And you’ve improved your online communication and some, your ability to
type You can now use dreamweaver and fireworks and google docs and blog Yet we all know that over time it has been a bit of a slog! There’s been experimentation in De.licio.us and other communication
tools And I am sure that at times when they haven’t worked we have felt a bit
like fools Why does no-one else know about these tools and seem to understand
this new world and learning speak Web 2.0 e-learning 2.0, wikis our colleagues and managers, do they now
think we are a geek! I know there’ve been typos and posts where the frustration and learning is
there But I think that as a community we have demonstrated an ability to care When others have been down or stuck in the learning rut or just over it at
the time You’ve supported you’ve prodded and got them over the learning hump
and helped them redefine Why am I doing this again? Oh yeah its for my future and what am I trying to attain?
It’s the Diploma of e-learning and with this program I will remain So you stayed with the program and you gave us all food for thought You’ve been learners and teachers and through all of this you have taught That it matters not whether we are on line or in rooms or on the computer
at night The learning is social and the future of education in blended learning is
right So now you need to stand tall and be an advocate of learning online To display those skills to your colleagues and learners and show them it is
time You’re not a geek a computer nerd or someone who lives on the computer You are an educator/ trainer who is open to technological possibilities
which makes you a skilled learning tutor. Your approach is about designing learning that can be online, blended,
experimental and fun And about creating learning cultures that reflect and develop and share on
the run So use all of your new experience and skills in e-learning online To collaborate, reflect and focus on the learner in all that you design Lyneene, Inara, Suzie, Peta , Pam and Steve Don’t forget that that the learning is all about learners and encouraging
them to believe that there’s lots of way to learn and attain the competencies they want to achieve
Lynne, Tracey, Heather, Tammie, Kiley and Lynne Keep networked and connected and don’t flick new things to that recycle
bin! Be it Ning or Facebook, de.licious or other web 3.0 tools or whatever the
future unfurls Remember that this learning world is your oyster and you are all the
pearls! You have been part of my learning world and I will miss the interaction we
have had But I know that you will be great advocates and continuous learners which
makes me glad So best wishes and congratulations on your work and support And most importantly for working with me and your fellow learners in this
Diploma of E-Learning cohort.
Thanks again and best wishes!
