Please book to join us for some lunchtime inspiration with two of the 2018 winners Claire McAvinia and Dr Liz Bennett:

Claire McAvinia #VLEIreland Research Project - Highly commended in the Research project of the year Award 2018

Virtual learning environments (VLEs) remain pervasive in higher education institutions (HEIs) including those in Ireland. Since 2008, we have sought to address this as a multi-institutional group of educational developers in Ireland by tracing the adoption and impact of the VLE across Irish higher education.

Dr Liz Bennett - Students’ Responses to Learner Dashboards - Second place in the Research project of the year Award 2018

Dr Liz Bennett’s project investigated Students’ learning responses to receiving dashboard data. The study was funded by a Scoping Award from Society for Research in Higher Education and provides a critical understanding of the emergent field of learning analytics from students’ point of view.

The Project Report is available from the completed research area of the SRHE website:

Please book to join us for some lunchtime inspiration from Michael Flavin who's project "Technology enhanced learning strategy documents in UK HEIs" won second place in the Research project of the year Award 2018

Michael Flavin and co-researcher Valentina Quintero undertook a content analysis of technology-enhanced learning strategies of UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The project exposed a faultline in many technology-enhanced learning strategies, because of the extent to which they are disengaged from practice.

Description:

The topic of this meeting is ‘Working Together to Design Modules’. This meeting will be an opportunity to share and discuss the processes that we use to engage with academic staff when helping them design modules and activities that make good use of learning technologies. The format will be a series of short 10-minute presentations followed by round-table discussions under Chatham House rules, allowing us to dig into some of the challenges and hopefully find some innovative solutions. There will also be a longer activity based on the <a href="http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/abc-ld/">ABC Learning Design</a> method developed by UCL and now extensively used at Aston.

This month’s TLC is titled ‘How can I make my online delivery more engaging?’. This conversation will offer an opportunity for discussion on effective tools and techniques when delivering webinars. This will draw upon experience of supporting and delivering various online sessions and workshops on different platforms. The conversation will be split into two; the first will cover the core functionality of Adobe Connect to promote participant engagement throughout the process of a webinar.  The second will cover more advanced features found within the tool and how these can be used to enhance participant interaction and collaboration. Due to this, the session will be suitable for beginners new to webinar delivery and intermediates looking to further develop their delivery.
