How does the LMS fit into this

• Central point for entry of learning objects into
  course subjects
• Link to individual internal teaching endeavours
• Links to external sites of interest
• Conversion of information from memory into
  problem solving capacity
• Integration of components
• of curriculum

Problems we faced

• Academics have limited time to program
• IT staff and MM staff dont know how to teach VS
• How do we achieve symbiosis ?
• Linking CAL and educational objectives of the
  teaching staff with skills of the IT staff
• Dedicated MM workers (Parkville, Werribee)
• High visibility of MM staff to academics
• Frequent workshops
• MM staff interaction with main campus
• Personalized attention

13
The Solution

• Integrate and develop a team across 2 campuses
• IT staff
• MM staff
• Teaching staff
• MM coordinator
• Finance people to pay for the above
• LTPF to the rescue !!!!
• 1 person can make a difference !
