Dear Knowledge Tree readers

We are planning two editions of The Knowledge Tree in 2009. Edition 18 is likely to be published in July and Edition 19 in October.

The theme for Edition 18 is likely to be about e-assessment, RPL and e-portfolios. The theme for Edition 19 is likely to focus on case studies for mainstreaming e-learning. It could also explore issues to do with the role and upskilling of VET professionals within the demands of a  flexible e-learning context and the demand for effective RTO/business/community partnerships. There is scope to also have articles/items not confined to these themes.  A continuing FOCUS for KT 2009 editions is on INNOVATIVE e-learning practice and research relating to the VET system and/or other educational contexts both in Australia and overseas.

You are invited to submit ideas for contributions and actual contributions for 2009 Editions of The Knowledge Tree. We are looking for lead article (peer reviewed) writers and other writers of shorter articles, and case studies - along with contributions of interviews, discussion, debates, commentary or a multi-media item, such as digital storytelling. To find out more details go to guidelines for contributions.

To submit an article – or have an idea for a theme or item, please do not hesitate to contact via email:  e-events@flexiblelearning.net.au.   Submissions close on 1 May for the July Edition.

We look forward to your ideas and contributions!
