So it's been a while since I last posted something. Busy and all that, you know what it's like... :-) I've got a bunch of interesting things up my sleeve, so just keep coming back.
Anyway, I was just looking at FutureMe.org and thought this was a really great idea. And so easy to implement in eLearning too! It's very simple really, all it does is define an email that will be sent to a specified email address on a specified date in the future.
For example, why not have your learners define milestones they want to achieve by certain dates. Using a feature like the one offered by FutureMe they could receive email reminders about the milestones they have set. Or they could send themselves little notes of encouragement to motivate themselves. You could even incorporate this with the 4 levels of evaulation: let the learner define these at the beginning of the course, with specific by-when-dates. Then let the system email the learner on or close to those dates to check progress or send encouragement.
So maybe I can send myself an email that I want to update my blog again before the end of this week? Let's see if it works!
