Kate Fannon is facilitating a discussion about dissemination strategies called "Off the page into the head - a dissemination challenge". Kate manages the Appplied Research Program and produced a CDrom of the 2003 projects. Rather than the typical pdf reports, this cd includes video of the researchers talking about their projects.
The 2003 Applied Research project produced five research papers on elearning, covering barriers to adoption, learning needs, workplace cultures and accessibility.
The Australian Flexible Learning Framework's Research Program (2000-2002) conducted an integrated three-year research and dissemination program on pedagogical, technical and managerial aspects of flexible learning in Vocational Education and Training (VET) with specific reference to e-learning.
The discussion within Net*Working focusses on the best ways of sharing information like this. In terms of my role, I find that I will email people with links to resources they may find useful, or file for future reference against the day I need to find something quickly. In addition, to improve follow through, local champions are important. More to come from this discussion I suspect.
