Next e-learning forum

Venues/Dates

Bryom St – BS/324

·         1.00 – 2.00 Tuesday 1st February

Speakers

Adam Mackridge (SCS) Lecturer/Senior Lecturer.

Adam and the team in the School of Pharmacy have been developing their use of Blackboard and other tools to support students. Initiatives include using TurnItIn to provide feedback, and greater use of online quizzes. This presentation will be useful for staff who are looking at changing their assessment methods and want to hear the experiences of fellow staff members.

Phil Denton (SCS) Faculty Learning Development Manager

Phil has developed the ‘Gradetime’ software that allows staff to readily navigate between word documents that have been downloaded from the new assignment handler. Students’ work can be annotated with audio clips or comment balloons, included pre-loaded comments that are expected to be required frequently.

Venue

Coming to this session will also give you a chance to see the new group learning room developed by Harry Morton’s team. This room uses small group tables around single PCs to facilitate group work within a classroom sessions.
