Blender Lite - Lt Cmdr Gordon Robinson's file

After Gordon's online meeting, I committed to sharing the 'Blender' file.
If Bronwyn thinks appropriate, maybe we could do a session on how to use it.

eLearning Guidebook

The eLearning guidebook describes some types of evaluation to improve course deployment. I think, due to the stage of deployment we are at with our course, the front-end analysis is the best method. Says the guidebook:

Carrying out such surveys periodically and especially prior to the full roll-out of e-learning will enable your organization to get a better handle on how to align its services to meet the needs of prospective users

Not only will this front-end analysis help us get it right for learners, it will give us a benchmark and parameters to do any other of the methods of evaluation, a comparison stick.
