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

Computer games and OT

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.

Thank you James!

James has made a great start on our page showing a number of resources he has already found! I'm going to bring in the blogs created by the Web 2.0 project group that is underway on Monday nights. I have a group of six therapists, plus a couple of staff who have already got blogs underway. You will find their reflections interesting, and there are a number of links they have also found - particularly in the neuro area!

Comments

Please note this Blog scrolls down so the most recent post to the blog will be the first to appear. Also note that people are able to make comments for each post by clicking on the comments link. This will also display the comments of others and can act as an online forum or discussion board.

You Tube Link

The video link on the left of the page will take you to video related to occupational therapy. To search for on line videos try accessing Youtube which is the larges online resource for videos on the net. I can help people sign up to a Youtube account and post videos to this site.

Slideshare site

This is the powerpoint presentation from the introductory lecture to Participation in Occupation 1. I have uploaded it onto Slideshare which is a webhost and resource for powerpoint presentations on a number of topics. The content of all viewable presentations on this site has been made public by the author so can be referenced or used appropriately. I can help people to access this site if they want.
