Aims
Propose solutions to common problems such as: •Students living off site need extra support between modules and have difficulty getting to campus•Students who have English as an additional language may want additional opportunities to hear sessions delivered early in the course•Students would like to attend a research seminar which clashes with a teaching session•Students want more opportunities to receive formative feedback
Outcomes for today’s session
• Plan, produce and distribute a short learning activity in your discipline using academic multimedia and readily available ICT (smart phones, tablet computers, etc)
• Identify readily available Web-based tools - particularly those used by your university - for multimedia production, distribution and collaboration and evaluate their utility for the creation and implementation of learning activities
• Explore opportunities for integrating data and applications from more than one web service to create a unified teaching resource
• Select a variety of approaches for teaching and student support to cater for different learning styles and a diverse student cohort
The main task
• Identify a short learning activity relevant to your current teaching practice and discipline that could be enhanced through the use of at least two online multimedia services
• Write at least one well-formed intended learning outcome for the activity
Options
If you have prepared a Blackboard site for Module 1•Enhance that site with with a short (<3 min) video introducing the site/module and personalising itIf you have not undertaken this activity•Sketch a short online learning activity using available TEL tools, and mock up the activity
Baseline TEL
We talk of technology enhanced learning (TEL) but do not often analyse the elements.
•Technology•Enhanced•Learning
Baseline 1: Technology
What do we mean by “Technology”•Computer aided collaborative learning
– distributed collaboration, working together
•Online•Academic multimedia
– Video– Audio– Hypertext (Web pages)
Baseline 2: Enhanced
“Enhancement” suggests measurement.•What is the scale? •What are the criteria?
What is enhancement when applied to learning?
Baseline 3: Learning
• Process• Product• Change
• Transformation
Transformation 1
• Opening up a new way of thinking about something without which the learner cannot progress
• As a consequence there may be a transformed internal view of subject matter, subject landscape, or even world view
(Meyer and Land 2003, 1).
Transformation 2
• People experience a disorienting dilemma which leads to a deep structural shift in their world-view
• The learners’ susceptibility to transformation will depend on where they are prepared to take themselves, the self-imposed boundary of risk
Transformation 3
• TEL has been treated as pragmatics: techniques for increasing the availability of content to help with catching up or revision, or extending teaching without transforming it.
• Digital literacy as an attribute of competence - the bare minimum necessary to operate in society - is giving way to responsibility to determine where and how it should be used in a disciplined and transforming way.
TEL as transformation
• How might TEL be a disorienting dilemma which leads to a shift in our world-view?
Underpinnings• Activity, we do or make things in groups, using tools, with
acceptable practices (criteria) and different roles• Experience, self-evaluative, practitioner-centered, pragmatic - what
works - drawing on your own and your students’ experience • Dialogue, we talk synchronously and asynchronously with people• Reflection, brings experience into scholarly evidence through four
professional "lenses": self, students, colleagues, the literature• Participatation, tutors engage as and with learners• Community, disciplines, institutions, others, work, the world and
society• Outcomes, curriculum and aims, externally approved and may
contribute towards professional recognition.
Wider aims: good practice
• encourage student-tutor contact• encourage student-student co-operation• encourage active learning• give prompt feedback• emphasise time on task• have and communicate high expectations• respect diverse talents and ways of learning

Scope
• What do we mean by “short”?
• What do we mean by “two online multimedia services”?
Proposed example activities
• Inventory management, taking into account customer needs, resources, business objectives c. 3 hours face-to-face
• How to get started on an MSc thesis• A module with 3 activities, has 1-hour online lecture:
Introduction to electronic warfare• Military vehicles: contrast the requirement sets and
the job the vehicle has to do focus on Challenger, T62
• Introduction to the sport of free diving
Examples FSLT & TOOCFirst steps into learning and teaching in higher education
Teaching online open course
Key considerations
• Will this activity be part of a face-to-face or a Distance Learning course?
• How will you introduce collaboration?– Student-student interaction
• Group work• Discussion • Peer evaluation• Etc?
• How will the students use TEL?• Accessibility
– Ease of use
