Progress on the Training for Development Education module

This module will be run over 2 terms in Spring / Summer 2008. Achievements so far: Outline of the basic content of the module, aims, learning outcomes etc

and draft module proposal Agreement on where the module will be located (temporarily) for next

academic year. Matters unresolved Validation process still to be completed. Detailed planning of the individual online activities.Comments on Preel project activities Blogging - this has been difficult due to the sensitive nature of negotiations

around the module. Using the resources – this will become more central to the process once

we get to the detail of the activities that will be completed by students online.
