During October/November/December plan to keep in touch with your e-champion or e-mentor as you fine tune your action plans and begin the task of implementing some e-learning into your organisations. The ACFE e-mentor program is aiming to ‘make a difference’ for your e-learners in 2012 in a small implementation project and to build that into a larger implementation project in 2013.

For example you may be planning to:

• design and build content and communication strategies for a course in Moodle; or
• explore the use of virtual classrooms for your blended delivery; or
• add e-learning interactive resources to a range of courses already being delivered; or
• explore the use of social media for promoting and networking with your e-learners; or
• use a range of free web 2.0 tools to re-invigorate the learning experiences; or
• build in the use of mobile devices for existing courses.

Whatever you are planning to do – keep it simple; keep it achievable and keep it relevant to your e-learners.
