Harriet Wakelam’s Summary

I am a creator user and explorer of knowledge networks.

I currently manage E-learning content development at d-Works in Melbourne. I also manage the development of Flexible Learning Toolboxes for the Australian Flexible Learning Framework. My main interests lie in the transformational potential of technology rather than in the technology itself.

I am fascinated by the use of technology to connect virtual teams, and the strategic, communication solutions which enable virtual teams to work in rich connected ways.

I see content as connection. It is my personal opinion that content is the raw tools that enable learners and teachers to create innovative new approaches to learning and development.

My experience includes the devleopment of Blended Learning Strategy, innovative approaches to professional development including a 'genius bar' approach to the delivery of new technology skills.

I have also run projects as diverse as hip hop via video conference in Western Deserts Indigenous communities and
the West Coast Connect project, which is about using new technologies and 'connectedness' to increase retention and participation rates.
