Hi all,

This seems like a suitable group for me – I teach on a Foundation Degree course at an FE College which has a small HE department. We have a good Virtual Learning Platform to post lectures and for discussion points etc,… which is handy but not all that ground-breaking.

The IT that I am most interested in right now is using ‘clickers’ – each student can select a response on a remote control to answer various questions asked of them. I have not actually used it yet but have seen it demonstrated and hope to include it next semseter. It allows an immediate response that can be graphed on the projector – i.e. allowing the students to vote for what topic should be covered next week or rate their understanding of a topic pre- and post-lecture. The latter example is really handy as a formative assessment tool to rate the lecture and  the students learning.
