PlagiarWISe: Teaching students the benefits of avoiding plagiarism
Wednesday 26th April 2017 12:30pm – 1:30pm
Julie Robinson - Julie is the Academic Services Development Manager for the Library.
The PlagiarWISe tutorial started life as a smallscale project developed by Julie for LDC’s Postgraduate Award in Technology Enhanced Learning, but the further her research progressed, the more apparent the need for improved support in this area became and the larger the project grew. In this session, Julie will be talking about the challenges that this expansion of the original proposal has brought, report on the current status of the project and outline the ways in which the resulting suite of resources can be used by academic staff to help their students better understand the issues around plagiarism and referencing.
Lunch will be provided.

Using technology for science teaching
Lorenzo Frigerio and Rebecca Freeman
Drawing on examples from the School of Life Sciences, this session will explore the pros and cons of using technology in different ways for teaching science. The session will cover tools such as Turning Point for quick polls in classes, Moodle multiple choice quizzes for formative and summative assessment, e-tutorials where technology is used to engage students with different aspects of academic research and the use of video to teach laboratory techniques. The aim of the session will be to demonstrate the range of technology available and to inspire creative thinking about how technology can be used to engage students with science.
Lunch will be provided.
Free online course - Designing e-learning for Health
This course is aimed at anyone who has an interest in designing e-learning. While the focus is around health, the course and methods presented are transferable to many other contexts and sectors.
This free online course is led by The University of Nottingham’s Health E-Learning and Media team (HELM). They will deliver the course as a team, and encourage collaboration and discussion, so that all can learn from each other.
HELM has developed over 200 standalone and free-to-use Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) over the last 15 years, which have been used by an estimated one million people from 50 countries for teaching or self-directed learning. They will be sharing their flexible and practical methodology.
