Positive feedback on Elevate's student inductions

Image
Reith Lectures -  http://flic.kr/p/6q5y8N I did post this on the Elevate Blog, however I felt it needed to be here as well :) The latest intake of students at UCS were graced with the Elevate Team's presence during the student inductions, to not only go over our current institution services such as the VLE and the E-portfolio system but to empower students to look at personal learning networks and other Web 2 tools outside of UCS. Demonstrating the benefits of such tools as twitter, diigo etc This has changed greatly from our old student induction approach which was very point and click orientated mainly focusing around the VLE. It seems as though our new approach has certainly guided some students into trying some of the tools we suggested, below is a comment from a student who decided to have a play with twitter.  "Further to our conversation earlier today, I write to continue my eulogising about Twitter as a resource which has helped me immensely with my pos...

2015 - Posts posts posts.

I can't stay long here as I have an assignment to do for my PgC in Academic Practice course I'm trundling through at the moment. Just wanted to post with a little list of potential blog posts coming in the near future, probably after February when this assignment is done :) I tend to think about subjects I'd like to blog about, make notes, then never blog so maybe if I blog a list here, it might spur me on to actually write them!

Paperrater Mahara Community of practice Observing the learning wavefunction These probably will not be the titles as I tend to try and be a bit more creative through the use of metaphor with my titles and conclusions. Fingers crossed I get some of these out as I've got some nice ideas I'd like to extract from this noggin of mine, a bit like Dumbledore's Pensieve!

JISC RSC-Eastern - VLE Forum - Letchworth Garden City

Glancing down the agenda, I have to say I wasn't particularly sanguine about taking too much away from the event, not because I was dis-interested, far from it, mainly because I've sat through one of the updates four times now and I've never really taken anything from larger companies coming in to sell solutions that no-one needs rather than discuss and identify source of problems.  I wont detail all of the days events but I'd like to say that my assumptions were to take quite a swift one-eighty. Coffee and catching up with known faces was nice, right before being ushered into one of the conference rooms to settle in to Bedford College's update on their Moodle Grade Tracker.
