Carpe Diem addresses… ‘My use of e-learning is bad.’ ‘Help me redesign this.’ ‘The discussion forums are never used.’ ‘What is a wiki?’ ‘Can I run synchronous sessions? How?’ ‘What is Web 2.0 and how can my learners benefit

from it?’ ‘Existing resources? What resources? Are they

readily available? For free? Really?’
