Important areas for me: reading the above paper! Fishbone analysis of traditional (distance) mode of online learning This represents a typical educational model where there re different types of people, infrastructure, delivery methods and learning resources. Many educators would agree on this and even would be able to relate it to their own organisational settings. Leading change: Applying change management approaches to engage students in blended learning Diana Quinn, Yousef Amer, Anne Lonie Division of Information, Technology, Engineering and the Environment University of South Australia Kim Blackmore, Lauren Kane, Malcolm Pettigrove College of Engineering and Computer Science Australian National University Areas considered important: · Staff and course re-development · Student engagement and its relationship to change · Using change management principles to re-engage learners for change · Organisational change as 3 separate phases (Lewin, 1952); 1. unfreezing of the old culture and setting the stage for change, 2. making the change happen, and 3. re-freezing, to make the changes stick. · Communicating the vision through an induction experience Kotter Kotter has introduced 8 steps to lead change. He also found that all eight steps needed to be present and in the right order for the change process to be successful. Kotter acknowledged that these steps also take time, and warns that moving onto the next step before enough time has been spent on the preceding step will only give the illusion of progress. It was interesting to read about Kotter model, and how the universities used this model to implement their project. Also the thoughts about how they would change their current processes and improve to make it happen as well as making it stick was quite fascinating. Kotter, J. (2007).

According to Portugal (2006) DE leaders must be transformational leaders and innovative visionaries with the ability to motivate, energize, inspire, and encourage followers.. The situational leadership theory proposes that effective leaders play the roles of leadership and management Situational leadership attributes are relevant to management of rapid environmental change that involves varied cadre of staff members.
