Becstarr : Return to the classroom

Taught my first class in about 2 years today! Assessment in WebCT was the topic, 3 of 5 in the Intro series. Only 2 hours and about 9 people, and a beautiful lesson plan and site prepared by the training team, which made for a nice class that was easy to pick up having never taught it before.

Felt good but after this week I am tired tired. Need to get some sleep in before polling in Marrickville tomorrow!!

Becstarr : Now five jumpkicks!

Small but extremely vocal Combat class tonight. RAR! Definitely helps to get the week started well. We had the locally-famous (in the WebCT world) Peter Love in this morning to start scoping our middleware project. He showed us the admin interfaces he's put on UWS and UNSWs' systems and we were drooling! Can't wait to move to something more functional and efficient, so we can spend less time hand-formatting data.

Becstarr: Fardels of the heart and other Bioethical fancies!

Spent all day in the MFB lecture theatre recording audio to use for teaching & learning activities in the Bioethics elearning sites. We started with the good old vagina dentata and ended up with "Fardels of the heart: the unbearable weight of obesity", personal accounts of muscular dystrophy (heavy...) and recitations from Byron. Overtired but very happy indeed.
