About me
Who am I?
My name is Jenny Wood. Up until recently I worked in the Flexible Learning department at Swinburne University TAFE. My new position is working from home for Elearn Australia as their instructional designer and developer for all things elearning!
I live in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria Australia and although it is a suburban block, I see kangaroos and wallabies outside my family room window on a daily basis and have regular visits from echidnas, snakes 
, koalas and a whole array of birds. So being a country girl by heart, I love it in my little ’suburban nook’! The echidna in the photo came up 22 stairs to get to our door step one day. He was pretty funny going down again but we didn’t offer to help!
What is this blog about?

If you are considering online facilitation, design or delivery, it would be good to familiarize yourself with much of the content here.
This blog contains lots of information about Digital stories, Wiki’s, Podcasts etc. These will be built up over time so please keep checking. I am changing the focus of the blog to a broader perspective and will post tips, ideas and reviews from time to time as well.

Hi Jen
I stumbled upon you somehow via the Age Online, Twitter…u-tube and I am blown away by the information here. It is a great resource on e-learning a concept which I have struggled with following an introduction to it in early Noughties. You really have opened my eyes…thanks!
