Toolbox Learning objects are reuseable digital resources – mini web sites – that have been stripped from their parent Toolbox and made avaliable in the Toolbox learning object repository for free download. While this might sound unaccountably cruel for both the object and the Toolbox, for us teachers it means quick access to 1300 free, easily customisable, WebCT compatable resources from a goodly number of the 100 Toolboxes currently in use.

There are objects avaliable for example in effective communication; a clever and comprehensive sequence covering most aspects of communication in a office setting… and 1299 other objects covering topics too many to mention.

It is a relatively simple process to upload these objects to a content module in WebCT or if that sounds like too much trouble just link to the object live from The Framework site to your WebCT course page.

If you would like to know more visit The Framework Toolbox site and try a few searches or call me, Helen Lynch, 74031 for more details.

You can get a partial preview of the series 10 Toolboxes at The Framework Toolbox site already!

Series 10 is looking good with BuildRight, Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Building); Retailer, Certificate II in Retail and others in competitive manufacturing, Water and Aged Care.

This is my (rather lame?) attempt to envision using the Web for great online learning – inspiring teachers to be embassadors for online learning!
