My big question from the start of the course was  ‘How do we use technologies to enrich teaching and encourage our students to use them to enrich their learning, while still respecting individual differences and preferences? While I don’t think I have answered this question during the 11 weeks of participation, I have widened my appreciation of […]

This week is interesting as I wouldn’t usually describe my forays into edtech as full-blown projects!  However, I am involved in a bigger project due to planned rollout of iPads for various student cohorts.  However, this project is at quite an early stage so I am trying to take everything in so that we implement […]

This activity was based on a JISC (2010) publication.  I’m basing my reflection on a new undergraduate level 2 module which myself and a colleague are planning at the moment. It is based on an online business game simulation played in groups.  It will have two group assessments, a business plan and a performance presentation, […]

Hoping to do more than one thing on #ocTEL this week, but here’s my starter for ten. This blog post will be discussing and critiquing assessment methods available on technology-enhanced learning courses. Method 1: Online test How does the assessment align with the course learning outcomes? Tends to be more appropriate for lower level learning […]
