teachers and learning.”

Activity 2Reflect on an area/topic of your teaching that you are most happy with. What is it about this that you think makes it a good learning event?
Consider the following questions.
• Who were the learners?
• How did you approach the teaching?
• What resources did you provide to the students?
• How did the students interact in the session?
Consider that same learning event and discuss in your group how it might be improved and how it could be extended beyond the classroom.

Focus on Interaction
How do you currently communicate with students?
What methods do you use?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
What type of communication do you have with students? Is it formal or informal? Does this change depending on how many students you are talking, the method of communicating or where you have the conversation?

Development process: planning documents

Take the activity ideas you discussed earlier.
Try to establish what would be suitable submission and feedback mechanisms for these activities.
Use the ’Developing each theme’ planning document to guide you on possible choices.

Next Session Aim
The next session will be about creating some tangible output in Blackboard based on the plans you have developed further since the first session.
Before coming you will need to have carried out a little bit of work within the relevant planning documents so that you have at least one if not two activities to work on.
