Graphic designers have no limitations in the art they can create, which can include websites, magazine covers, billboards, and more. They strive to design unique and unusual images that push boundaries and change how people view art. Effective designers value trust, communication, and believing in themselves so their creativity and designs can flow freely.

Building a Team

ElizaMoseman

The document discusses methods for building an inspired team. It recommends finding analogous inspirational places and isolating elements to apply to new design ideas. Leaving the workplace can inspire new ideas. While distant sources may spark ideas, building on nearby inspirations may be more effective.

Group and expert interviews provide different community and subject matter perspectives.

Solent Learning and Teaching Institute

The purpose of this paper is to explore the higher education space and employability agenda through the lense of Gamification. The Higher Education landscape is being shaped by many agendas; employability is a key theme in this. Employability and the development of skills, knowledge and attributes of graduates form the basis of our programmes and any enablers to develop credible policy and change in this area is positive. The growth of the consumerist paradigm in Higher Education is problematic. Students relationships with their HE Institution and tutors are changing, and not for the better. This paper will set out the potential for using Gamification to move higher education learners from passive learners to engaged learners, through the use of Gamification in teaching.

SLTCC2017 Lecture Capture: The good, the bad and the ugly (Tosin Lagoke)

Solent Learning and Teaching Institute

Lecture capture technology allows for recording of lecture sessions using software. A study examined perceptions of lecture capture from multiple stakeholders including lecturers, students, and learning technologists. Surveys found that overall, lecture capture was perceived to be efficient, cost effective, and a success. However, there were mixed views on whether it enhanced interactivity. Duration of lecture capture use positively correlated with perceived efficiency but negatively correlated with perceived failure. Perceived cost also positively correlated with perceived failure. The research is ongoing and will include interviews with additional stakeholders like university management and software developers.
