Students tell us they want more contact – what do they do with it? Learners have mobile devices, pen and paper are less visible, but how are the devices being used for learning? With the new cascade/curriculum design discussions suggesting students start with more contact to develop skills for more independent learning later in their study: this session involves talking with colleagues about how we encourage student learning in and out of class. Particular focus on note-taking, active reading, engagement with text, blogging, revision and a deeper engagement with what learners study.

Wednesday 8^th February

1.00 to 2.00

Mithras House Room M138

There are a number of ways that technology can help with giving students access to our teaching and learning resources and with our need to provide students with feedback.
After the recent, excellent Work In On Assessment, organized by Julie and Pete – I thought it might be helpful to remind colleagues that if there are “things you want to try out” – a number of us are happy and willing to show you how – this message might be especially useful to new colleagues, but is there for all.

So if you want to:
Capture your voice while giving a lecture – and make the combined Powerpoint & audio available (very nice for students who do not have English as their first language)
or,
Use a rubric to mark (maybe with audio comments)
or,
Mark on an iPad (loaned from the technicians)

Do feel free to pop in and ask for hands on help  from me:
