Now as I research and write a job application for a lecturer position at JCU I refer back to the Canadian course that I am lurking on the fringes of and have just read a really interesting post on just what forms of professional development are out there now. Thanks Shawna for such an eloquent post. The focus of my research today has been on the term "the scholarship of teaching and learning". This is one of the key selection criteria of this position. I am trying to focus on what this term has meant in the past for higher education and what it looks like right now from my VET perspective and the higher education perspective.
Alex Couros's recent lecture and slideshare presentation on "Introduction to open and networked learning" below, highlights many of the things that I have been trialling in my recent project work.
Open & Networked Learning for #ECI831

I feel gratified that working in the VET context and having access to open source learning networks keeps me abreast of what is happening at both a local, national and international level across all education sectors. Plus I want to link to this video so I can comment on it next post.
