From wo to go: Contextualising and reusing multimedia.

Abstract

This is the story of two colleagues - a faculty member and an instructional designer � who collaborated in 2006 to redevelop existing online modules by reusing multi media objects developed for the GeTTs (Generic Trade Training) project in 2005. The story focuses on the decisions to reuse the objects and to contextualise the learning while maintaining the integrity of the information in two modules: Grammar Online (GO) and Writing Online (WO). While this is a story about collaboration and harnessing technology to meet the needs of learners, it is also about the way informal professional development provides opportunities for staff to learn from each other.
