Session 4.1: Interactive workshop
Producing educational videos: design and workflow issues
Sociology
Graham Gibbs, University of Huddersfield
Part 1 of the workshop will be a quick survey with examples of the range of educational videos produced by academics and students along with a consideration of their pedagogic functions. Part 2 is hands on and participants will work in pairs developing a script and visual storyboard for their own video idea and providing critical support to their partner’s ideas. Part 3 is a general discussion of these designs how they have been refined or simplified and how they might be used in teaching and learning. Participants will learn about the range of videos used in education and how they might be used in teaching. They will learn about the range of multimedia that can be used in videos that makes them different from lectures books supervisions etc. And they will develop an understanding of how they can develop a workflow and a division of labour with technical experts in making a video.
Session 4.3: Interactive workshop
To explore the efficacy of peer and self assessment
Law
Kate Campbell-Pilling and Clare Firth, University of Sheffield
A workshop to further explore the efficacy of peer and self assessment. We would like to illustrate the concept by using a discrete topic where the workshop participants will complete a task and produce an answer. The group will be divided into three with one group undertaking self assessment of their answer against a provided mark scheme. The second group will peer mark and the third group will undertake both peer and self marking.
Our aim is to engender an informed discussion of how the concept develops a learner's judgment skills and critiquing abilities and strengthens their understanding of the need to take ownership of their learning.
Session 4.4: How to presentation
Screen capture video feedback after a 1000 videos
Interdisciplinary
Nigel Jones, Cardiff Metropolitan University
The intention of the demonstration is to show how easy it is to provide students with a richer range of feedback. To make more people aware of screen capture feedback; the demonstration includes examples of screen capture feedback for different forms of assessment.
Session 4.5: How to presentation
How to ditch technology and think inside the box – the Culture Shoe Box?
Social Sciences
Hoda Sobhy Wassif and Maged Zakher, University of Bedfordshire
With the fast development of technology engaging students within higher education has shifted towards the use of more technology in the classroom (Selwyn 2009 and Dey et al 2009). However when it comes to teaching challenging topics such as ethics business and culture there is a belief that learners need to engage with these subjects in a different way (Wassif 2015).
This session will demonstrate the use of a Culture Shoe Box (CSB): a new inexpensive hands-on educational resource introduced to facilitate workshops and enhance students’ learning experience (Wassif and Zakher 2015). The session will tackle some practical activities using the Culture Shoe Box the impact on students’ engagement and ways to develop this resource further to use as a teaching and learning tool in other subjects in the social sciences.
