HEGARTY & KELLY
four main findings:
1 The staff development models in use across six tertiary institutions in New Zealand were very
similar
– training workshops for technology and learning management systems, qualifications, just-in-
time,
peer support, mentoring.
2 Participants engaged in a wide-ranging amount of informal staff development activities
because of a number of factors, for example, (i) participants’ interests were wider than what
formal staff development had to offer, and (ii) time and workload constraints.
3 Existing formal staff development models in the six institutions sampled were not always
adequate to assist staff to fully develop their capability and potential for eLearning.
4 The findings of this project were consistent with research elsewhere in the New Zealand
tertiary sector, for example, in relation to factors impacting on staff who engage with eLearning
(Mitchell, Clayton, Gower, Barr & Bright, 2005) and some of the impediments which may affect
adoption of eLearning, e.g. time and adequate support.

HEGARTY & KELLY
Some key comments about informal ways of learning included the following:
“Having a sound knowledge of technology and pedagogy assisted as one could focus
on learning the eTeaching tools and eTeaching methodology”;
“Many years of participation in e-lists, discussion forums and chat has shaped my
understanding of on-line communities”;
“I have learned a lot from working informally with an on-line group at a … university
as a 'visitor' to the site”;
“Helped to develop relationships which may not have been forged so easily”

“The rise of platforms like Pinterest
and Instagram, and Facebook's
multimillion-dollar acquisition of
the latter, shows how visual content
is becoming an increasingly
important force for communication
online.”
"Pictures have also become a short
form way of communicating lots of
information quickly and succinctly,"
says Samuals.

John Naughton:
“One thing we’ve learned from the history
of communications technology is that
people tend to over-estimate the short term
impact of new technologies – and to
underestimate their long term implications”
