eLearning Services for Flood Recovery

eLearning Services at the Queensland Department of Education and Training has made ‘virtual classroom’ spaces available for students where the floods have disrupted normal classes. This initiative could be usefully expanded to be part of an Australian Learning Commons to provide educational resources to students across Australia.

Maths, English & Science materials are provided, including:

• Resources - self-paced digital learning resources by year level
• Activities - self-paced structured lessons by year level
• Programs - self-paced vodcasts or daily scheduled multimedia events by year level

There is also a special collaborative project Healing words - Helping hands for Education Queensland teachers to discuss the floods and share experiences.
