In answer to the pre-week 1 task posed:-
A.An informal online learning experience! I'm not sure I've had one of these. Maybe this is something we could explore together. Perhaps I do have concrete examples I could give however at the moment nothing springs to mind. Most of my time is taken up with off-line activities. Although I see the value of online learning I seldom have the time to embrace it. This is now my time to do so.

B.Second Life. Wow! The possiblities are endless and mind blowing. There is so much I want to do with it if only I had limitless amounts of time. Currently it is giving me the opportunity of having my ideas of a virtual x-ray environment put into reality. Students can therefore practice things e.g. exposure factor manipulation, which they are unable to do with live patients due to radiation regulations. This gives an added dimension to the students learning. It allows them to experiment with exposure factors to see the effect of changing variables in a way they could not do in real life.

C. I see myself as being in the priveleged position of being able to explore something different which could potentially have a postive effect on students learning. I am very fortunate in having the support of people who can put my ideas into practice.
