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:

Hazel (professional office),
Donna (undergraduate office)
Julie  (post graduate office)

or Julie (room 149)

The NSS will be officially launched at Brighton on Monday 5^th February 2018.

This NSS Briefing Note  has been prepared for distribution to all staff by the Strategic Planning Office.  It contains key information on:

• Dates
• Response rates
• Promoting the survey and ‘inappropriate influence’
• Your Voice Matters campaign – feeding back the feedback
• Survey questions (new in 2017)
• Contacts and sources of useful information

This is particularity  important for tutors who teach final year students.  Please take the time to read the NSS Questions so you can understand exactly what questions the students will be answering.

One  simple way to promote the survey is to add a strap-line  to the  signature area on emails (see below) as we are often solving problems and answering questions – this reinforces that we are supporting students.

Some highlights colleagues might be interested in –

iPad Video Presentation Recording – particularly useful for assessed presentations (allowing the students to see their own video using a link added in gradecentre feedback)

Nearpod version of the Oregon Trail  to support research design – This was an innovative way to help students understand  how to write a research question and then think through appropriate research methods
