ANNIE Project: approaches Engagement with academic staff

Pedagogical aims  to provide students with diversity of experience and information;  to enhance learning and teaching processes by incorporation of appropriate new technologies;  to reflect the changing nature of theatre.

Main considerations Which technology will best meet the pedagogical aims of the activity?Which technology will best meet the pedagogical aims of the activity?

Factors affecting choice of technology Should the engagement with technology be a discrete activity or underpin the entire course? (discrete/continuous)Should the engagement with technology be a discrete activity or underpin the entire course?

It may be inappropriate to expect theatre and performance studies students to acquire a high ICT literacy when this is not a required skill for their discipline (“they’ve come here to learn how to be a tree, not press buttons”)It may be inappropriate to expect theatre and performance studies students to acquire a high ICT literacy when this is not a required skill for their discipline (“they’ve come here to learn how to be a tree, not press buttons”)

The ANNIE Project Review of implementation

Strengths  Had involvement of a specific school  Academics set agenda  Few changes in working practices  Provided a manageable and easily implemented technology

Weaknesses  Central services gatekeepers but not stakeholders  No in-house technical support to continue work
