  1. Building Capacity in Learning and TeachingJISC projects enhancing pedagogyChris Butcher and Karen Llewellyn SDDULTC8 Jan 7th 2011

  2. Building Capacity in L&T • Where are we now? Where are we going? • and….what are your thoughts? • Plan A ! • Leeds Building Capacity project – brief outline/update • LBC project website – short tour • Focus on a key strategic priority - effective feedback • Focus on some technology – play with ‘flips’ • Feedback and discussion - collectively • Lunch!

  3. Leeds Building Capacity Project • Part of JISC’s Building Capacity Programme: • £100k until July 2011 • Mapping JISC technology projects and intelligence to Leeds strategic priorities across Research, Learning and Teaching • ‘Adopting’ and ‘adapting’ for the Leeds context • ‘Leeds Learning’: toolkits and case studies for dissemination

  4. Strategic L&T Priorities 2009/10 • Digitisation/ing learning resources • Distributed environments for blended learning • Providing effective feedback to students 2010/11 • Curriculum review • Open access/resources

  5. Where are we now? Guided by the LBC Project Advisory Group and in collaboration with JISC: • Mapping JISC projects to priorities • Selecting potential projects fit for Leeds • Communicating ‘intelligence’ to L&T communities • Facilitating ‘take-up’ of project outputs/outcomes i.e. there is funding available! but also..... • Identifying ‘gaps’ in JISC provision

  6. Communicating ‘intelligence’ • Developing a dialogue with L&T communities • Creating platforms for a dialogue: • Faculty Pro Deans and Directors for L&T • Themed events e.g. Effective Feedback Week 12/10 • LTC8 ! • Leeds Building Capacity Project Website www.sddu.leeds.ac.uk/lbc/

  7. Where are we now? LBC project priority: Effective Feedback • AFAL (Aberystwyth)- comparison of 3 methods audio: digital recorder/MP3 posters, non-electronic work a/v asynchronous: headset/adobe acrobat/PDF reports/proposals a/v synchronous: headset/screencast/website link essays/presentations https://sites.google.com/site/audiofeedbackuk/home/ • ASEL (Bradford & Hertfordshire) – audio choice in both assessment & feedback forms - encouraged dialogue with students http://aselproject.wordpress.com/ • ASSET (Reading & Plymouth) – video generic, rapid feed-forward - increased student engagement http://www.reading.ac.uk/asset/

  8. Where are we going? • Example of a JISC project output ASSET: use of audio/video e.g. FLIP camcorder • Demo – one prepared earlier! • ‘Play’ for 5 minutes: In 3s, make a short video Record your responses to the question: How might this technology be used to support feedback or feed-forward to students? Any barriers? • Play back • Feed back your responses to the group • Broader discussion

  9. Using the Flip Switch on: press power button on RHS Record: press record button to start /stop touch+/-to zoom in/out Play: touch button to start/pause NB: ‘Built in’ microphone - so need to be near the flip (Delete: touch delete button select ‘yes’ to confirm) Q: How might this technology be used to support feedback or feed-forward to students? • Any barriers?

  10. Feedback and Discussion Possible broader questions: • How far are these kinds of technologies useful to enhancelearning and teaching e.g. providing feedback to students? An enhancement or additionto existing practices? • What other kinds of (existing) technologies might we deploy across the university ? e.g. Grademark/Turnitin - Rafe Hallett and Kevin Linch (History) • What are the possible barriers? • How might we best develop platforms to create an ongoing dialogue to build capacity in L&T?

  11. To conclude…. Any further reflections or questions related to Building Capacity in L&T…. or R Please email: k.a.llewellyn@adm.leeds.ac.uk It would be great to hear from you Meanwhile - thanks for being here ! NB: LBC website www.sddu.leeds.ac.uk/lbc/
