This session will describe the experience and challenges of running two versions of the same Continuing Professional Development course at two different universities. The course was called the ‘12 Apps of Christmas’(12AoC) and ran in December 2015. Both courses fully embraced the concept of ‘openness’ and made all the content sharable using a Creative Commons licence.

Authors: Nick Feather and Tucker MacNeill, Information Services

In this practical session we shall look at two approaches to using video both in and outside the classroom to support learning and promote engagement. Firstly, using Fuse app, we shall demonstrate how simple it is to capture and stream a lecture or presentation using a mobile device or tablet and make this available via studentcentral. Secondly, we shall explore the emerging possibilities of live broadcasting, in this case using Twitter’s ‘Periscope’ app which has opportunities for expanding seminars beyond the constraints of a physical teaching space or lecture theatre.
