It's all in the mix: new blended learning opportunities for educators
Despite the snow there was a good turnout for this event and the discussion topics were relevant and interesting. Topics included:
- Telling a tale: Designing multimedia assessment in undergraduate politics
- Erupt - a tour of a collaborative online space
- Sticky learning
- Immiscible learning - reflections on an unsuccessful blend
- Capturing imaginations: Alternative uses of lecture capture technologies for increased student engagement
- Continuing our journey with lecture capture at the University of Birmingham
- Electronic curriculum maps and visualising curricula data
Of particular interest was the first session which described how a lecturer went about redesigning assessment based on legacy learning. There is an article associated with this topic here.
