Learning and Teaching in Practice/Getting started/Your online presence

Your digital information literacy
In this course you will use a number of information sources and technology tools to support your learning and for interaction with the facilitators and other learners.

You will need to apply skills for using:
 * this WikiEducator site to access reading materials and (optionally) to collaborate with others;
 * Internet-based tools to search for and manage information sources that you will use in your inquiry and writing;
 * a blog for written work;
 * asynchronous and synchronous (real time) tools for interacting with others.

Your personal blog
You will be using a web-based digital portfolio such as a blog and Google Sites for your written portfolio, not a word-processor. This means that submitting your assessment portfolio will not be done by using 'snail mail' or email, but by providing the course co-ordinator with access to your blog.

If you don't already have a personal blog, or would like a separate one for this course, you should set one up now:
