Purpose of the blog: Online Presence

In 2011, the Learning Centre at Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin, New Zealand, will provide extra online learning support to both distance and on-site students. We want to utilize the Internet more, and be available over a greater range of hours. The student-dedicated blog to accompany this is USE IT OR LOSE IT!

How and when to contact me

I am available , from 4 to 7 p.m. New Zealand time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings (of course you study at the end of the week). At present, you may send me an email at william.lucas@otagopolytechnic.ac.nz . You could use Gmail for this instead, as it allows you to chat with me (if you don't have a Gmail account, you can use this one: oplcjapan@gmail.com with the password: benorkevin. You could find me on Facebook and use the chat option there. You might even Twitter me. Skype is up and running, and I'm working to set up  Elluminate in the near future. Let me know if I'm missing something.
