FET 8660 - The final course

Semester 1, 2007, sees the final course in my Masters programme at USQ. FET 8660 is Masters Project 1 and I have until June to complete it. Seems no time at all since I started on this learning journey; it's been a great experience!

Still working out the project title and arranging a supervisor (hoping to get Dr Peter Evans - fingers crossed!) but planning to investigate the creation of a repository of learning objects for my main subject areas: financial accounting / financial reporting. This will provide (I hope) an internal collaborative environment suitable for sharing with colleagues, to enrich teaching and learning and to promote online and blended learning at Napier. There's already a UK wide project, Jorum, and hopefully we will eventually generate some materials of sufficient quality for sharing with other further and higher education institutions.

We're all set for the graduation in September in Toowoomba and planning a big trip round that date. Main flights from the UK are already booked! Hoping to meet up with many fellow students who have become friends over the programme.
