externalisation is happening at last

A forum to allow academics to present their comments on the externalisation policy was held yesterday. The Pro VC presented the case that ext was a whole Univ matter and that DODL was a teaching department (of pre Matriculation studies) which taught by dual mode and merely its acquaintance with dual mode was the reason for its involvement up until now. Well done everybody. Maybe by the end of the year courses will be written to enable a start for possibly second semester 2007.
Rewriting of the Matriculation is going well. We are trying to get these courses up to Y12 standard.
I'm doing 8 hours teaching plus the weekends for rewriting courses and the marking that goes with the courses plus I am doing my final course in French - I'm reading Les Liaisons dangereuses at the moment having just finished Les Mains sales by Sartre.
I'll publish now while blogger still has a connection.
