Places are limited so please book as soon as possible.
Session Overview:
Many colleagues have been involved in providing blended or on-line learning for many years but the Covid pandemic has meant that we have all needed to quickly provide much of our teaching and learning at a distance. This has involved moving our lectures, previously delivered in large lecture theatres and classrooms, to online platforms. The speed at which this huge change has happened has in itself caused significant challenges for staff and students alike. This blended workshop aims to provide some guidance, examples and a forum for colleagues to share their experiences and ideas for enhancing this provision.
This workshop is presented in two parts:
- A set of 3 short videos will be made available on or before the 30th June 2021 and should be viewed independently before joining discussion forum – approximately 45 minutes independent study.
- A discussion forum hosted via Teams on the 7th July, in which participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and discuss the topic – lasting 1 hour.
By the end of the two hour, session you should be able to:
- Consider the purpose of the on-line lecture in Covid times
- Discuss a range of practical design issues when taking lectures on-line
- Share experiences and ideas with colleagues ‘in the same boat’
- Begin to plan your next steps & what you can implement from the workshop
This workshop is mapped primarily to A2, A5, K2, K3 on the UKPSF.
