Also presenting during this session was the ALT LT team of the year from LSE presenting on the role and responsibilities of Learning Technologist in their Learning Spaces project. I really enjoyed hearing about Matt Cornock&#8217;s work looking into &#8220;Strategies for supporting effective student engagement with lecture recordings&#8221;, and also\u00a0Leonard Houx&#8217;s presentation about &#8220;Designing for Flow&#8221;, where he smashed into the awful VLE UX we&#8217;ve all had to put up with over the years!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Evaluating Webinars as a Tool for Delivering Lectures and Seminars at Distance in a Healthcare Setting<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As we\u2019ve written here many times before, we now have the capability to run webinars via Learning Central (using a tool called <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/learning-technology\/2015\/06\/23\/learn-plus-blackboard-collaborate\/\">Blackboard Collaborate<\/a>). So it was timely that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/danielmetcalfe\">Daniel Metcalfe<\/a> from Plymouth University gave a presentation around evaluating webinars as a tool for delivering lectures and seminars. Daniel discussed evaluating the impact of webinars on learning, and of course the technology WAS still an issue! However, he also had some top tips to remember when taking on the webinar as a teaching tool:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t run the webinar as a traditional lecture;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Familiarise yourself and your students with the software and process;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Start the webinar early to sort technical problems;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have a colleague to assist large sessions (particularly chat functions etc);<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be mindful of your audience;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Record your sessions;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make them interactive.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The interactive bit &#8211; how do you go about adding interactivity? Daniel went on to offer some tips around what\u2019s possible to include in your webinars:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ask more questions \/ be more responsive to questions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add activities:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drawing tool<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glossary<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Presentations<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Polls<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Breakout activities<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scenarios, videos, journals, websites etc<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Daniel mentioned that the students reacted positively in the main and surprisingly, students felt that the level of interaction with staff was similar to face to face sessions. We will be looking to make staff aware of these issues when discussing the use of the webinar this academic year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>An experiment in open-access, micro-learning for educational technology training<\/b><\/p>\n<figure class=\"image pull-right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1367\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/altc-write-up-day-3\/1mincpd\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/286\/2016\/09\/1mincpd.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"240,240\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1mincpd\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;1mincpd&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/286\/2016\/09\/1mincpd.jpg\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1367\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/learning-technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/286\/2016\/09\/1mincpd.jpg\" alt=\"image of 1mincpd logo\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/286\/2016\/09\/1mincpd.jpg 240w, https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/286\/2016\/09\/1mincpd-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/286\/2016\/09\/1mincpd-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/286\/2016\/09\/1mincpd-170x170.jpg 170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To be honest, this is one of the sessions I looked forward to the most from the whole 3 days. I\u2019ve been a big fan of the 1 minute CPD project for a while now. It\u2019s a simple idea, but so effective. As we all know, the main barrier for technology adoption is time. Time to learn the what, the why and the how. Even when we run training sessions, we know that there is still a time barrier for staff to actually sit down, digest what they have learnt and then put it into practice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As it suggests, the resources are reduced to one minute each, and where there are larger topics (being realistic), they can be grouped together as a short series. 5 are released per week, and the whole site and resources are completely open. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Cr1UP3HXEAAAsQt.jpg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The stats were also impressive<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> considering that there was absolutely no budget for the project whatsoever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The next steps for the project include library collaboration content created for students, and also student created content. They\u2019ve had interest from all over the country (and world!), and I\u2019ve really been impressed with their fresh thinking around TEL CPD. You should definitely visit their website and learn a thing &#8230;or two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>References:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.periscope.tv\/w\/1lPKqqRDwNPKb\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Full Presentation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> recorded using Periscope<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/1minutecpd.wordpress.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#1minuteCPD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Website<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/1minutecpd\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">@1minutecpd<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Twitter<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Being Human is Your Problem<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, I\u2019m just going to say a couple of words about the final keynote, as this was the presentation which was most challenging in many ways for HEIs. As institutions move into the \u201cDigital\u201d (some kicking and screaming), don\u2019t forget that technology isn\u2019t the \u201csolution\u201d, technology isn\u2019t going to fix everyone\u2019s problems. As <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DonnaLanclos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donna Lanclos<\/a> puts it: <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u201cTechnology is not the future\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u201cDigital is not a salvation from our problems as humans\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>\u201cDigital is people\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are many lines I could quote from the keynote, but I think the presentation should be viewed, so I\u2019ve embedded it below. I\u2019ll finish with this: \u201cWe need to remember that there is no such thing as \u201cthe university\u201d as we are \u201cthe university\u201d. With this comes responsibility. Responsibility to think, talk and act in regard to teaching and learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OUw0RKDiWHE?version=3&#038;rel=0&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Further Posts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/learning-technology\/2016\/09\/20\/altc-write-up-day-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ALTc Write-up (Day 1)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/learning-technology\/2016\/09\/20\/altc-write-up-day-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ALTc Write-up (Day 2)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/learning-technology\/2016\/09\/19\/thoughts-from-altc-learning-analytics-panopto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Thoughts from ALTc \u2013 Learning Analytics and Panopto<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by Dewi Parry Day 3\u2026 Following a very good keynote by Jane Secker in the morning - Copyright and e-learning: understanding our privileges and freedoms (which again I urge you [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":386,"featured_media":1344,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[371],"tags":[216,245,197,246,247],"custom_author":[],"class_list":["post-1366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-digital-education","tag-cpd","tag-institutional-change","tag-online-learning","tag-pdp","tag-webinars"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":1366},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4KqgK-m2","meta_box":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/286\/2016\/09\/altc.gif","pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/386"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1366"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1366\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2645,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1366\/revisions\/2645"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1366"},{"taxonomy":"custom_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/LTAcademy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/custom_author?post=1366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
