ELC - Costs

Printing books is too expensive

No books

Photocopying (paper) costs go up
as teachers copy more materials

Cost of new photocopier?

Cost per each photocopy?

Students unhappy having to
print material that might not be used

Mass Cutomisation

“customers don’t want a choice;
they want exactly what they want”

ELC customers are?
Teachers, students, departments?

Main topic

4 year curriculum

Once a week 3 hour
classes more likely

Develop material for each
session rather than by units?

Able to customise material more?

For example, develop 12 sessions
for a 14 week course
(2 weeks have Assessments)

Teachers might not like the
order material is done

Course Writers

Still asked to write 'books'

Material

Teacher photocopies something
incase students don't print their own

Teacher always has
material for class

Teacher wants to
enter class with material

If teachers provide copies,
students less likely to print their own

Computers

Students use 'computers' to
access materials in Class

Classroom management
issues

Mobile Learning

More students accessing
materials from mobile devices

Moodle iphone
and android apps

But need upgraded Moodle

BlackBoard app for mobile

As yet ELC material is
not very acessible by
mobile devices.
