BLOG INFO FOR NEW LECTURERS

Dear All

Thank you for comments and interest in my Blog. Please distinguish between my personal and informal and my formal publications. In the case of new part time lecturers who want to read more about induction sessions and academical facts on Open Distance E-Learning (ODeL), they have to scroll down or search in my former Blog-publications for that. In other words they must search backwards according to the dates. When opening the first publication on induction material or ODeL, the rest of the picture will become clear how to find the rest.

Induction materials for newly appointed part time lecturers since 1994 up to 2006 at the regional learning centres of our university have been compiled for your convenience. It contains all the back up reading before entering into your part time job as a part time academic practitioner. Please note that you still have to read the latest guideline handouts of the Director for Teaching and Learning in order to prepare you for the rest of your academic work. My compilation on the Blog is only to orientate you about the Higher Eduaction nomenclature that you need how to interpretate the academic situation. It may totally differ from your full time profession.

My motto is that qualified persons who want to teach and share their practical experiences on a part time basis are actually doing community development. As part time academe they prepare part time students on a co-operative way of learning and teaching because both lecturer and student (read part time learner) are both exposed to real world situations. However, I am convinced that part time academe at the main campus can also benefit from my compilations.
