How we got started SEDA National Conference 2013 AU Student Union UKPSF
Making the sheets • Print on A0 or use lots of A4 sheets • Choose most representative comments • Involve Student Union Education Officer • Leave space for department-specific comments from student reps • Map comments to UKPSF
SHEETS • record and playback lectures on my phone • Evernote - my notes are available where ever I am • Flashcards on Windows 8 app • take pictures • instantly look something up using my smart phone (K4) • More interactive learning, posting quizzesfor example (K2) I prefer interactive lecturesnot solely reliant on PowerPoint (K3) • Creating quizzeson Blackboard that allow you to test yourself helped me reinforce information in my head. (A3) 85.7% have Smartphones (e.g. BlackBerry, Android, iPhone) Do not put too much text on PowerPointslides! (K2) Your experience and observations Your experience and observations Actions When resources on Blackboardare clearly labeledand put consistently into relevant folders, they are much easier to learn from. (A4) I am currently revising for a module in which the lecturer did voice overs on the lecture slides and I am so impressed with how much better the information is sinking in. Your experience and observations Your experience and observations • Most tutors do not use Panoptoto record lectures which is a shame as it is very useful in revision and for assignments. (K4) Making sure blackboarduse is consistent … would be helpful. (K6) Your experience and observations Learning preferences • Comments from • SSCC representatives Some lecturers fully integrate technology. Others don't understand technology and refuse to use it. (A2) (V1, V3) Some tutors could benefit from some extra trainingin technologies used by the university. (A1)
How it works Ideally have a student rep at each table
Response • 6 sessions to date • 37 staff • 4 students • Most departments/institutes have had one table of participants per session
Students’ view Although I get to interact with staff on a collegiate level at student-staff consultative committees, this was the first instance where I got to work with staff and actually felt like their equal. I really liked how valued my contributions were by lecturers: I’m looking forward to seeing the changes we worked together on suggesting becoming reality. I think sessions like this, on a variety of topics, need to happen more often. I now feel much closer to my department and felt like staff really cared about my opinion.
