September 2010 - Best Share of ePractices Competition

Thank you Michelle for sharing this very impressive use of web 2.0 !!

Michelle Budd has created a great montage on VUVOX that she will be using to introduce the 4 week induction to her students. Try to spot the hot spots within the presentation. Michelle also created a small and fun animation on Dvolver to welcome her students on her course.

Thank you for sharing your ePractices with us Michelle, you have been entered into our September best share of ePratice competition.

If you want to try either of these 2 platforms, please follow the links:

Dvolver creates creativity tools, it is an animation and movie maker. Have you ever wanted to direct your own animation or movie? No problem. Dvolver MovieMaker helps you make a movie in a few simple steps. ( literally 5mn, no kidding!!) When your animation is complete, you can send it to a friend. Or, post it to your online course.

VUVOX is a dynamic media creation suite that enables everyone to easily turn their photos, videos, text and audio clips into interactive stories. A COLLAGE can then be published into ePortfolios, embedded into your Moodle online course, and syndicated into any website, blog or social networking site. If you want to communicate / present to your students or ask them to make a presentation COLLAGE can be the ideal multimedia expression space!

If you have an ePractice you would like to share, please contact Vikki Liogier on x 8759 or email

Best ePractices Competition Launch!

EFC is pleased to launch a share of best ePractices competition, designed to inspire us and help us build an eLearning supportive, collaborative and learning culture.

An online course on Moodle has been created for all of us to post onto. The shared ePractices can the be referred to as and when you want. Each month you will be asked to vote for your favourite new entry.

We are looking for teachers who are using ILT to stretch and challenge learners by:

• Promoting raising aspirations and deeper learning through use of ILT: getting our learners to aim higher and expect more of their achievements
• Personalised Learning and differentiation: providing extra opportunities for learning outside the classroom and models for encouraging learners to make use of them
• Self-directed learning: encouraging learners to engage and focus on improving the quality of their work through use of ILT.

Please share your best ePractice with your peers and you might win £100 worht of technology!
