This study looked at a particular types of group activity ‘Peer-led group learning’ based on ‘small groups of students meeting regularly with a peer – one who has additional expertise in the subject matter – to work on problems collaboratively’. The study looked at the use of Slack to support this activity. In this presentation Richard will discuss:

ELESIG Scotland Online Meeting - 26th November 2021 (1pm - 4.30pm)

<a href="https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=t0SZ-E5Kp06RVjKZ80EW... Here</a> 
 
Since the move to a predominantly online way of teaching over the last year, there has been much discussion around the experiences of staff, and developments in course delivery that have been used to respond to this change.  
 
But what about the learners themselves:  What has been their experience? and how are we using that experience in our future plans for teaching? 
 
This is a good opportunity to hear about and share experiences of anything to do with learners experiences of technology. 
 
Please complete this form to register for the event. Feel free to pass on the link to this form to any colleagues who you think might be interested in attending.

Description:

Hosted by the ALT West Midlands Group

There is a global awareness of the extent to which our societies and our educational institutions are permeated and dominated by the ideas, habits, values and structures of the white English majority culture. This awareness now is reflected in moves to ‘decolonise the curriculum’ (and to decolonise research, not to mention #RhodesMustFall). This clearly begs questions about decolonising learning technology, questions about the extent to which our digital pedagogies, our digital technologies and us as learning technologists are complicit in this ignoring or suppressing of other ways of learning, understand and knowing, to the detriment of us all.

The Education Observatory (<a href="https://www.wlv.ac.uk/research/institutes-and-centres/education-observat... rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wlv.ac.uk/research/institutes-and-centres/education-observat...) at the University of Wolverhampton will be hosting an informal free online meeting of the West Midlands SIG of ALT, the Association for Learning Technology, <a href="https://www.alt.ac.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.alt.ac.uk</a>, to explore these issues with some challenging questions, fascinating insights and provocative ideas.

If you would also like to offer a talk or discussion topic, please contact Prof John Traxler (john.traxler@wlv.ac.uk), or Dr John Couperthwaite (johncouperthwaite@gmail.com)
