Notes de l'éditeur
My role – Deputy Learning Technology Manager – organise the LT Training.
About 4000 students – 500 teaching Staff
High percentage of sessional staff – many who teach at several different universities.
Most of the LT training has been done face to face.
Previously I have been involved in two online staff training courses.
I was a facilitator on the BYOD4L course at the start of this year – convinced me of the possibility of running a short course over 5 days.
Next I set up a online course on Twitter for staff at Regent’s University – 10 Days of Twitter for Regent’s University London.
This course was originally written by Helen Webster at Anglia Ruskin University and as the name implies it was run over 10 days – run through a Wordress Blog.
It was successful for 3 reasons:
Participation – over 50 members of staff contributed (amazed)
Results from survey – asking for other short courses
Informal feedback
Organised 3 Short Open Online Courses
First of these is ‘12 apps of Christmas’…
4th to 19th December
Each day there will be a new post describing the ‘app of the day’, how it can be used and a small task.
