Accolades
Dear Tracey
Thank you so much for your wonderful work supporting the MMET students with their ePortfolio set up over the past days at the start of the Arts Education intensive.
The student take up on these optional sessions that you’ve been able to provide is very high and they (and we!) appreciate your expert input highly.
And thanks too to Sue and Bindi - one more session to go on Thursday!
Thank you!
Best wishes

Proud Moments
Dear Leanne and Tangi - A short note to congratulate you both on your excellent learnonline presentations to the Provost last Friday afternoon.
You presentations were professional, thoughtful and conveyed your command of both university teaching and the learnonline environment. I was extremely proud of you both and your respective learnonline sites were more than comparable with those presented by staff from other Divisions during the session.
Dear Tracey – I acknowledge the significant part you played in the development of these sites, not to mention the development of Leanne and Tangi’s expertise in this area, so thankyou and well done to you too.
Best Regards,
Jo

Dear Tracey,
Your support and advice this year have been invaluable, but mostly, thank you for your time. It’s not often I meet someone with the same passion for work, deep thinking, and keeps an eye on the overall arena at play- so its lovely to have found such a kindred spirit.
I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on things the last few days, and looking now at the work that has been completed, I’m actually really proud of what has been achieved- and the ability for us to bring together my initial ‘vision’ is due entirely to your support and expertise.
We will absolutely stay in touch- and if you are heading to Mawson Lakes, I hope I will be your coffee date!

Hi Tracey
Thanks so much for your thoughts and suggestions yesterday – I feel relieved that my course site can look and function better for students (and me) and I appreciate the effort that you are putting into the rebuild. I was pretty frustrated with the situation but can now see a way forward. Phew!!
Cheers
Jane
