on line courses: howto

Australian educator, Leigh Blackall has slides here about how to setup a collaborative on line course using:

• email - initital contact
• google groups - group communication
• blogger - blogging
• bloglines - RSS aggregation
• hello and flickr - images
• geocities - storage (since replaced with OurMedia.org)
• open office - ease of conversion to pdf and swf

I have felt daunted about the time and organisation required for running an online course but Leigh's slides illustrate clearly how the "small pieces" would fit together. As well as that the use of google groups and ourmedia.org was new to me.

Leigh has blogged about this here.
