Alternatively, find out how to add or remove pages from an existing learning object downloaded from an online repository such as LORN or the Toolbox Repository.

The session also looks at the importance of learning design in resource assembly.

It will be presented by Helen Lynch, who has worked as an educator and e-learning enthusiast in the vocational education and training and university sectors in NSW, carrying out flexible learning research and developing e-learning solutions for training organisations.

Currently the ACT Toolbox Champion, Helen is based at the Canberra Institute of Technology. Helen holds post graduate qualifications in educational management, online education and Indigenous education and is studying a doctorate at the University of Southern Queensland researching learning object reuse.
