Andy Beggan, Student Video Support Assistants, University of Lincoln, Second place in the Team Award 2018.  
Lincoln’s Student Video Support Assistant (VSA) team emphasizes the role of the student as academic collaborators in the production of new knowledge for staff and students alike. The VSAs work alongside staff to create relevant, appropriate and student-focussed resources whilst simultaneously developing professional skills and practical experience. 
This successful collaboration has resulted in nearly 300 video projects to date.

Peter Shukie - Joint second place for the Individual Learning technologist of the year Award 2018

Peter Shuckie from Blackburn College uses technology to bridge the gaps between institutions and communities - bringing people together through the development of the project networks, the scope of the technology modules and the integration of technology support, community groups and a Community Open Online Courses (COOCs) platform. He believes that  technology allows us to reimagine who creates learning and knowledge and rethink what teaching might be.

The webinar will run in Blackboard Collaborate Ultra, and we will issue joining instructions approximately three days prior to the event. Even if you are familiar with Blackboard, it is important that you check in advance that your system and connection are capable of handling a session.

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. Registration is free, but places are limited <a href="https://go.alt.ac.uk/2J4SRe5">https://go.alt.ac.uk/2J4SRe5</a>
