1.2.2 E-learning across cultures
Uncovering the E life of SIETARians
Between December 28 and January 4, Anja Krüger, Mareike Zettel and George Simons, members of the e-learning work group, met in La Napoule France, to further the online university and learning community iniatives of SIETAR Europe.
The group decided that before investing resources in the acquisition or creation of new platforms and programs, it would be best to sound out the current state of activity and interest of SIETAR Europa members. We will do this by the creation of a questionnaire to be sent shortly to the membership. Among the categories of questions we will be trying to answer are:
Online activity
  • What kind of internet access you have, which media do you use and how frequently?
  • What exists in terms of online intercultural resources?
  • To what degree are you using these resources personally and professionally? To what degree would you like to be using them? What would help you in doing so?
E-learning experience
  • What level of experience and expertise do you have as a learner or teacher in online environments?
  • What are your hopes, concerns, expectations, incentives and obstacles for online learning and communities of practice?
  • What interests would you like to pursue in this context and what information, learning and resources would you need to do this?
Before the end of January, you will receive shortly instructions on how to participate in this survey. On the basis of the results, we will structure initial offerings in e-learning and online community building.
