JISC projects enhancing pedagogy

Where are we now? Where are we going? and ….what are your thoughts?
Plan A !•Leeds Building Capacity project – brief outline/update•LBC project website – short tour•Focus on a key strategic priority - effective feedback•Focus on some technology – play with ‘flips’•Feedback and discussion - collectively•Lunch!
Building Capacity in L&T
•
Part of JISC’s Building Capacity Programme:• £100k until July 2011
• Mapping JISC technology projects and intelligence to Leeds strategic priorities across Research, Learning and Teaching
• ‘Adopting’ and ‘adapting’ for the Leeds context
• ‘Leeds Learning’: toolkits and case studies for dissemination
Leeds Building Capacity Project
Strategic L&T Priorities
2009/10•Digitisation/ing learning resources•Distributed environments for blended learning•Providing effective feedback to students
2010/11•Curriculum review•Open access/resources
Where are we now?Guided by the LBC Project Advisory Group and in collaboration with JISC:
• Mapping JISC projects to priorities• Selecting potential projects fit for Leeds• Communicating ‘intelligence’ to L&T communities• Facilitating ‘take-up’ of project outputs/outcomes
i.e. there is funding available! but also.....• Identifying ‘gaps’ in JISC provision
• Developing a dialogue with L&T communities• Creating platforms for a dialogue:–Faculty Pro Deans and Directors for L&T–Themed events e.g. Effective Feedback Week 12/10–LTC8 !– Leeds Building Capacity Project Website

Communicating ‘intelligence’
Where are we now?
LBC project priority: Effective Feedback •AFAL (Aberystwyth)- comparison of 3 methods
audio: digital recorder/MP3 posters, non-electronic worka/v asynchronous: headset/adobe acrobat/PDF reports/proposalsa/v synchronous: headset/screencast/website link essays/presentations
https://sites.google.com/site/audiofeedbackuk/home/
•ASEL (Bradford & Hertfordshire) – audio choice in both assessment & feedback forms - encouraged dialogue with students
http://aselproject.wordpress.com/
•ASSET (Reading & Plymouth) – videogeneric, rapid feed-forward - increased student engagement
http://www.reading.ac.uk/asset/
Where are we going?• Example of a JISC project output ASSET: use of audio/video e.g. FLIP camcorder–Demo – one prepared earlier! –‘Play’ for 5 minutes: In 3s, make a short video Record your responses to the question:
How might this technology be used to support feedback or feed-forward to students? Any barriers?–Play back–Feed back your responses to the group
• Broader discussion
Using the FlipSwitch on: press power button on RHS Record: press record button to start /stop touch +/- to zoom in/outPlay: touch button to start/pauseNB: ‘Built in’ microphone - so need to be near the flip(Delete: touch delete button select ‘yes’ to confirm)
Q: How might this technology be used to support feedback or feed-forward to students?•Any barriers?
Feedback and DiscussionPossible broader questions:•How far are these kinds of technologies useful to enhance learning and teaching e.g. providing feedback to students? An enhancement or addition to existing practices?
•What other kinds of (existing) technologies might we deploy across the university ? e.g. Grademark/Turnitin - Rafe Hallett and Kevin Linch (History)•What are the possible barriers?
•How might we best develop platforms to create an ongoing dialogue to build capacity in L&T?
