thank you for feedback

I have some excellent feedback and am greatful for all of it. This has prompted me to review my approach to this project.
This is a large task that i'm embarking on and will focus on the the case study assessmentfor the Mphil assignment.
At this point the idea of podocasting the lectures is a vision for the future. There might be a discomfort from the lecturers presenting the lecture. Currently the focus  will be to upload the lecture powerpoint presentations and keep  a discussion  forum open per lecture. This is because the theme of diabetes is presented in an integrated approach and therefore more than one department is involved. But I will introduce the idea of podocasting the lectures and explore it further for the 2014 academic year.

There are 6 facilitators responsible for the assessment of the assignments which allocates approximately 40 - 45 students per facilitator. Furthermore, the assignment itself has been streamlined to guide the student into preparing a concise case study of less than 2000 words. It is also possible for the same facilitator to follow the reflection of the student. However, the reflection is only for the students learning and not yet part of the assessment itself.

I have a go ahead from my HOD to start this for next year on Blackboard aind was given the impression from IT that this will be possible with little hassle. But let us wait and see first............
