Alastair Creelman

An enthusiast for the potential benefits of the net in education, I’m
fascinated by the potential of open education where resources are
shared. The main aim of my work is to raise awareness of the potential

8. Amanda Scales
• There’s a great choice of learning
• Don’t assume that a learner has prior knowledge of ANY learning (not
just online)
• Use easy language and avoid jargon, buzzwords etc
• Before people even get to the learning they can be fearful
• Sign in and registrations can be off putting – clear signage is essential and
non-registration option
• Free Trial can be worry
• Levelling statement is useful
• Confidence building statement addressed to the learner
• One device households
• Offline options (e.g. Option to print, come back to it etc.)
