Expanding the Campus

DIT are having their annual eLearning Day on Thursday 15th December (10:00-4:00) in the FOCAS Institute, behind the Kevin St. campus.

The day will start with the launch of the“Quest for Learning” website (www.questforlearning.org) by Síle de Valera, TD, Minister of State in the Department of Education. AHEAD (the Association for Higher Education Access and Disability) has worked with DIT and other institutions in Ireland and across Europe to develop a range of on-line resources related to learning and employability, for people with disabilities.

The programme for the day promises an interesting mix of demonstrations and presentations, with case studies from DIT lecturers in the afternoon and also the opportunity to hear DIT students talk about how eLearning is impacting on their learning experience.

The demonstration session, "Gizmos & Gadgets", will showcase the array of technology now available to all DIT staff, with tools such as Studymate, Impatica, HorizonWimba voicetools and others explained and contextualised.
