Marie van der Klooster, is a Lecturer in the School of Information Systems in the Faculty of Business and Law. She focussed her project initially on the use of role-play in the online environment and developed this to a wider focus on publications across Deakin related to online and distance teaching and learning .

Marie’s experience is of particular interest both as a progression of experience in online teaching and learning examination and as a description of research gathering, production and analysis on a university-wide scale.

Anyone looking at a university-wide project would find Marie’s experience and insight into development of her 2003 work extremely valuable as she describes her journey across a large cross-divisional and faculty context :

“The main thing you’ve got to be is fairly humble”

Perhaps most importantly what Marie’s project does offer is the possibility of a high quality resource that both reflects the university as a whole and captures experiences for far more extensive use within.
