Enhancement and evaluation of TEL - ocTEL webinar week 6

As part of the ocTEL course we are running weekly webinars, starting on 30th April. Webinars are open to all and are free to attend. ocTEL participants will automatically receive joining instructions, so there is no need to register again. We will make the recordings of the sessions available via the ocTEL website. If you haven't yet registered for the course then you can still do so via the ocTEL registration form.

This week's webinar

You can access this week's session via this link (please note the session will not be live until one hour before the start time).

This week’s session looks at examples of enhancement and evaluation in TEL and asks two fundamental questions:

  • What can we achieve through TEL?
  • How do we know that we have made a difference?

After a very brief introduction by Peter Hartley, our three speakers and their case studies are as follows:

Mark Kerrigan is the Director of Teaching, Learning and Assessment in the Faculty of Health Social Care and Education for Anglia Ruskin University. He will be talking about the enhancement and evaluation of the iPads in Science initiative, a project by the University of Greenwich (where he used to work). More information and a case study on the project can be found here:

James McDowell is University Teaching Fellow in the School of Computing and Engineering at the University of Huddersfield. He will be talking about the development of work which won him the 2011 ALT-Epigeum Award for the Most Effective Use of Video. This award recognized the important contribution he has made to the enhancement of student learning through his use of video feedback - http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/19915/

Keith Smyth is a Senior Teaching Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Higher Education at Edinburgh Napier University, where he leads the MSc Blended and Online Education and works on TEL-related strategic initiatives. Keith will be talking about the development, dissemination and evaluation of the 3E Framework for technology-enhanced learning, teaching and assessment. Since being introduced as the basis for Edinburgh Napier's Benchmark for the Use of Technology in Modules, the 3E Framework has been adapted and implemented by over 25 institutions within and beyond the UK - http://3eeducation.org/3e-framework/
