Meetings update April 2008

The next ELDG meeting is scheduled for 10:00 am Tuesday 8 April in PL 11 (Lower Tower Room). Two short topics are planned for this meeting: 

1. Personal Response Systems – introduction to use of this technology for immediate feedback from students in the classroom. The session is to raise our awareness of what this is, and to have a discussion about potential use as there is already some interest in this development. 10:00 – 10:45 (approx.)
2. Learning and teaching materials online – discussion on what would be the ideal online storage/access for tutor’s materials. Includes an update on CoRE repository development, but we should look at the VLE, the e-portfolio and beyond to see what is needed to meet lecturers’ needs. 10:45 – 11:30 (approx.)

Notes from earlier meetings are posted on the ELDG website. The topic for the January meeting was Information Literacy Online, and the topic for the December meeting was Virtual Worlds (incl. Second Life)

October Meeting

The notes from the October meeting are now published on the ELDG web page – see the link in the list on the right. The meeting featured a presentation given by Tom Franklin and the notes give the url to this presentation and records comments made during the meeting. The meeting was an excellent opportunity for lecturers and support staff across the university to review the options for making use of Web2.0 approaches in learning and teaching. It has given all of us ideas and directions to take advantage of these opportunities.

If you have any comments on the minutes, or on the meeting, or on Web 2.0 generally please leave a reply comment to this posting.
