Learning and Teaching Practice Experts Group Session B – Transforming Curriculum Delivery through Technology SpringBoard TV, KUBE, MoRSE, Making the New Degree a Success 17 March 2010
Introduction Andrew Comrie, Critical Friend Joint Information Systems Committee Supporting education and research
Overview • Projects have been running for approx. 16 Months • All in the final 7 months . The focus: • Piloting new curriculum delivery models with learners • Evaluating Pilots (includes feedback from learners) • Assessing Impact • Dissemination • Preparing final outputs
As a Cluster we cover.... • A wide range of course levels/subjects: • A-Level Media • New National Diplomas/Foundation Degrees: Business, ICT, Film and TV • Undergraduate Degree: Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Science and Geographical Information Systems • Different course delivery structures/models • Class based activities • Simulated /Real Work Environments • Remote Learning • Stand activities and conference workshops/symposium
Despite our Differences we have much in common... • A commitment to changing the way our programmes and courses are delivered • Similar Issues and challenges • Attendance • Achievement • Student Satisfaction • Offering more choice/flexibility • Improving Support • Improving Feedback
Despite our Differences we have much in common... • A shared belief that technology can help us to address our challenges and improve the way we deliver our programmes • That said, we have interest in a different range of technologies: • Open Source Tools (e.g. MOODLE, Mahara) • Web 2.0 Tools: WIKI, BLOGS • Mobile Technologies • Video streaming, virtual studio, video editing • Content Creation Tools: e.g XERTE
Working Together • Over the life of the project to date we have worked together to share ideas and approaches around: • How best to engage staff and learners in our projects • Ways to prepare learners for new learning and teaching methods • How to approach evaluation : especially in relation to capturing process and lessons learnt and engaging learners in the evaluation approach • Joint dissemination
Challenges and Activities for the next few months • Impact: Have the changes we have made impacted on the issues and challenges we wanted to resolve? • Sustainability: What do we need to have in place to sustain our work post-JISC funding? • Sustainability: How do we cascade our Models and get others to adopt and implement them? • Dissemination: How do we share our experiences with others in the Sector? • Outputs: Have we maximised all the deliverables from our projects and have we made them available to others via Design Studio?
