"Teach for Australia" takes new graduates from relevant disciplines and has them teaching in a school after a six week intensive course. That approach could be adapted to take experienced professionals and turn them into teachers: http://www.teachforaustralia.org/content/graduate-program-overview In my view, we should be re-skilling teachers to team teach online. IT professionals could help with that: http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/2014/02/blended-learning-model-for-remote.html To that end, I enrolled in a Masters of Education (Distance Education) by Distance Education at a Canadian university. This does not require an first degree in education: http://calendar.athabascau.ca/grad/current/distance_03.php -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
