3. Our Challenge www.derby.ac.uk First and Second year Fashion students
Create visual forms of feedback – pre-session, tutor-student conversations and presentations
Accessible at times and in places which suited the students
Integrated into our core systems – Bb and Panopto – but accessible using mobile and static devices
Reflective space – blogs to carry on discussions and to use their own devices to capture and upload images of their designs.

Notes
Support in and out of the classroom
Reusable resources – archived video resources
Centralised access – mobile devices
Equitable
VISUAL STUDENTS REQUIRED MORE MULTIMODAL FORMATS
Reflective space
Rob – The Challenge
Work with systems we have
Consider how Blackboard could be used
Moving beyond viewing Blackboard as a repository
Identify good practice and sharing it

5. Simplify The Process Record Process Share File Handling Encoding

6. Independent Study VideosOR
Videos for independent study
Initially envisaged to support students out of class but we found they used them during class
Sustainable – this year’s cohort using them

7. Capturing tutor-student conversations
Student-teacher conversations in the classroom
Revisit aspects of their designs with access to the discussions
Encouraging dialogue and prompting students to see feedback as something formative rather than the retrospective thoughts of the lecturer which comes attached to the final grade

Video
Panopto – Lecture capture system
Visualiser/document camera as a means of creating the videos supporting more independent study
iPad – ad hoc visualiser and video capture device
YouTube as a repository
To provide staff with a workflow which allows them to integratively use Blackboard, lecture capture technologies and mobile devices to provide students with feedback-feedforward opportunities/resources. In short, we had to bring it all together in a manner which was neither onerous or required a lot of technical know-how. It had to be straightforward and potentially replicable across modules without much up-skilling.

9. What we found Accessible across various spaces
Augmented modular content
Tutor’s voice was concise and clear
Available for reuse
Prompted reflection and self-evaluation
More visual than written feedback
Raised awareness of topics prior to class
Some of the statements we really needed to burrow into, but didn’t get a chance to as they were attached to the module feedback forms
First Year sample n=17 (from population of 43)
Second Year sample n=21 (from population of 26)

10. What we found Lack of work with feedback
Added pressure when presenting
Hated watching back the presentations
Less accessible than written feedback
Not downloadable
Unaware of ability to access using mobile technologies
Learning spaces
What do they look like?
How are we designing and mapping curriculum to encourage lecturers and tutors to see spaces differently?
Mobility
Who’s mobile: the student, the device or both?
What have they got?
How do we accommodate for those that don’t have or don’t want to use?
Can we assume too much?
Systems and Technology
What do we need to ensure lecturers can try these approaches and students can access them? – Wifi, IT buy-in, stop looking for critical mass before something has even been tried.
Student involvement
We need to involve them more in participatory research at local levels: research aimed at designing potential good practice
We need to be careful not to take everything a small group of technological zealots say as representative of wider populations – NTU example
Find out what they don’t want as well as what we often think they do want and lead them to tell us they want.
Language
Need to be mindful of overly esoteric terms masquerading as the vernacular of the masses – charming evangelists promising the world but not realising the world they promise is not always recognisable by those they preach to or necessarily desirable. Watch out for perceptions – creating them and dispelling them
Stop quibbling over semantics and phraseology – toning it down and being mindful of surroundings – more pragmatic approach when talking to people on the ground – taking the e out of eLearning (Larning)
