What other staff are doing at Otago Polytechnic

If you are interested in seeing what else is being created at Otago Polytechnic then read on... I received this through a gruop I am part of Teaching and Learning Online... its from Helen Lindsay..

I'm also from Otago Polytechnic - Dunedin_ New Zealand (as is Merolee) I have been developing two or three courses on wikieducator which are all available from http//:wikieducator.org/Peer_tutoring . Other courses Otago Polytechnic have been developing can be found at http://www.wikieducator.org/Otago_Polytechnic The Peer tutor training course is set to go live to students in about four weeks and will be facilitated from a Blog. The students won't necessarily even see the front pages on the wiki, they will be directed to the resources and activities from a Blog (yet to be started). The wiki has really been designed for teachers and aims to staircase learners into other courses such as Cert in Adult Education. The blog about this project is at : http://helenlindsay.wordpress.com

Here's a nice story about the use of computer games in OT. It involves the use of a Nintendo Wii in the therapy sessions of injured American soldiers.
