DUCKLING Project Delivers DL
#1
The next time you read someone from the Dumbass Factory attempting to use the term "duck" as part of a put down, remember the U of Leicester's DUCKLING project, which actually does something useful for DL students, unlike said Dr. Dumbass.

Although, to tell the truth, I'm still not sure what Dr. Ray Randall was talking about, as I was trying to figure out whether or not he was wearing a Star Trek TOS uniform.

Quote:Delivering University Curricula: Knowledge, Learning and INnovation Gains

The DUCKLING project - funded by JISC - at the University of Leicester develops advanced delivery, presentation and assessment processes to enhance the work-based learning experience for students studying remotely. The project will demonstrate the practical marriage of sound approaches in delivery together with new technologies and work–based pedagogies for learning support, communication and assessment of professional adult learners from commencement to completion of the programme of study.

I believe that I am invariably the 'duck' that GG, JB, Puffman, Jack the Ripper, RCD, et al, abuse on a regularly basis - mainly cos they have nothing else to do and have little idea about what happens in the real world.
I wonder what they will say about this:

Talking DL I also wrote the Open Polytechnics DL course NZ WETLANDS: a course that discusses ducks (waterfowl) in detail.
Last time I heard about Rich Douglas he was working for the University of Leicester.

It is an outrage that Neil Hayes has been attacked by those cretins and others for what seems like, and is close to, 10 years. What makes it even more outrageous is that those attacks have been encouraged and sanctioned by admins of DI and DD.

Neil's accomplishments are ignored or mocked by those who have their own agenda. If Neil had pursued an advanced degree at Capella or NCU, though, he would be held up as an example for what one could achieve with a DL doctorate. While that vocal faction in the DL universe refuse to recognize Dr. Hayes' work, take note of the recognition he receives in his local community where his work is most visible.

You are absolutely correct, Little Arminius. It's a safe bet that Dr. Hayes wrote his dissertation all by himself and didn't need any 15 buddies to do the heavy lifting for him.

He has a lovely wife who does not sell mutant lab pigs to the public for food. He has two fine sons, neither of whom maintains filthy blogs bragging about homosexual encounters or making obscene or derogatory comments about their parents.

Dr. Hayes uses his knowledge and skills to help people understand, protect and enjoy wildlife, not to destroy and incarcerate female entrepreneurs.

Plus, despite the decade of lies, insults and provocations, he always conducts himself as a gentlemen. In short, he's about 180 degrees from the stalkers, losers and degenerates that inhabit the cesspools at DI and DD.

I bet he stole that Star Trek shirt from George Takei when they made "Blood Oath" in 1990.
