Welcome to the eDesign course

Lecture

This course commences on Monday 18 June, 2012 and runs for four weeks (fully online). You have access to the LMS and this companion website from today so you can familiarise yourself with the learning environment before the course commences. We encourage you to install the relevant software on your computer before the course commences so you can join the eDesign groups we will be using during the course to communicate, collaborate and curate content.

If you would like to make an early start on the course we suggest you commence the week 1 recommended readings and introduce yourself to your peers on the LMS.

If you have any questions, we encourage you to post them on the forum discussions on the LMS as often others may have the same question and will benefit from the answer. For questions or comments of a personal nature, please email me
