Carpe Diem

''Carpe Diem' (from the Latin for "Seize the Day") is a two-day course design workshop, in which subject teams work to implement effective e-learning designs for new or redesigns for existing courses. It is not a technical training course. The designing for e-learning process has made use of ‘stable’, normalised technologies, e.g. the institutional VLE and other tools that course teams are familiar with. Only when course teams have expressed a need to make use of other, newer technologies to meet their course objectives are these incorporated.

Features of Carpe Diem include:

• offered to teams not to individuals
• involves an overview of the learning design of the whole of a course, module or unit, not just the e-learning
• real practical outcomes by the end of the workshop
• exceptional return on investment of a small amount of time

If you are interested in arranging a 'Carpe Diem' workshop or short e-moderating course for your team, please contact Ale Armellini in the first instance.

Many of ADELIE's events - seminars, workshops, training courses, individual consultations - take place in the 'Media Zoo' which provides a supportive experimental environment, exclusive to staff, to facilitate transfer of understanding of the design of learning activities using learning technologies.
