More developement ideas for CCEL

What works well and what doesn't?
I have added a lot of references to a similar course we run with our diploma students in this previous posting .
It is difficult to really detail what works well and what doesn't with this course as it is a completely new course - and therefore I have nothing to refer to, other than the similar course offered with the Diploma programme.
Students have enjoyed the hands on time with clients in the salon simulation, they enjoy working with members of the public and getting to experience a range of clientele. The students have reported that it makes them more confident and keeps their focus on time management skills.
Students have also indicated that by using the salon environment it makes them appear more confident when they are seeking work in the "real" world - especially when they may have to do a trade test to show their skills.
Since implementing the blog that I developed for the flexible learning course - students on the Certificate Programme have expressed a great deal of interest in this type of "extended" learning opportunitues - and therefore I feel the use of moodle for the new course will enhance their learning experience and enable the students to feel that they have a place to go for help and further study
