The authors collaborated with learning technologists and teaching excellence colleagues at a two-day digital retreat to improve their flipped learning module. At the retreat, they developed a template for their online learning environment (MOLE) to provide students with a clear structure, sequence, and navigation of pre-work and in-person sessions. This addressed students' feedback that the pre-work was excessive and the online materials were difficult to use. The retreat was intensive but productive, resulting in the MOLE template and plans to incorporate additional quizzes, content varieties, and analytics to further enhance the flipped learning approach.

Flipped Learning - Where's the Evidence? - Pete Mella, Kirsten Bartlett, Gare...telshef
Flipped learning, the teaching method of giving students pre-session materials to consume and using lecture time for active learning, is a well-known educational concept, but where is the evidence of its effectiveness? In this session Pete Mella (CiCS TEL Team) will give an overview of how a flipped classroom method is being used at the University, and we will hear from academics Gareth Bramley (Law), Kirsten Bartlett (Psychology) and Sam Marsh (Maths & Statistics) on their own research, looking at topics including student feedback, attainment and the psychology of flipped learning, as well as advice on how flipped methods can be evaluated in your own practice.
Increasing student engagement has been one of the main focus to improve the quality of a learning experience. In this talk we cover two aspects that can contribute to this increase: flipped learning, and feedback.

The European Maturity Model for Blended Education is a framework which can help educators and institutions to take the next step in blended education.
The framework consists of 3 levels (course, programme, and institution) and for each level dimensions and indicators have been developed. This can be used to self assess the maturity of a blended course, programme or institution..
The EMBED implementation guidelines offer support for educators, course teams, instructional designers and management to mature in blended education. For each of the 21 dimensions guidelines have been written to reach the next maturity level. The guidelines include educational models, articles, research, and tools. Use them and take the next step toward mature blended education.

Reflecting on what has happened to Higher Education in 2020 in Australia, in responding to the pandemic, may seem a bit premature to some. But on the other hand, we need to learn these lessons quickly as there are no guarantees moving forward. Thankfully many of us have had reasonably robust technology enhanced learning environments to fall back onto. But let’s face it, this hasn’t always been elegant as it could be. So, reflecting on some of the things we have learned in 2020, it is worth distilling some thoughts as we move in to 2021, particularly around TEL and the funding environment for HE. Let's do a SWOT and see what others think too.
Comparing use of Technology Enhanced Learning in an on-campus class and a dis...Sheila Webber
Presentation given on 6 July 2017 by Sheila Webber and Pamela McKinney, Information School, University of Sheffield, UK at the University of Sheffield TELfest (Technology Enhanced Learning festival)
Presented at Sloan-C Blended, Milwaukee, WI, July 8th, 2013
With the increase in the diffusion of blended and online programming across higher educational institutions, stakeholders are looking for ways to ensure the quality of the student experience. Quality of blended programs can be ensured through faculty and instructional development and training, faculty and instructor evidence of competence and recognition for excellence, constructive evaluation and feedback on blended and online course design and delivery, and community-building opportunities among instructors and staff. Blended learning is becoming a prominent mode of programming and delivery in education. It is swiftly emerging and transforming higher education to better meet the needs of our students providing them with more effective learning experiences. This movement is leading to a renovation in the way courses are taught and programs support their students. Instructional and faculty development provides the core foundation to institutional programming in providing a framework for implementing blended and online learning pedagogy in the classroom. This student-centered, active learning pedagogy has the potential to alter the traditional classroom by enhancing course effectiveness through increased interactivity leading to superior student outcomes.
A recent study reported that "Respondents ... anticipated that the number of students taking online courses will grow by 22.8% and that those taking blended courses will grow even more over the next 2 years" (Picciano, Seamen, Shea, & Swan, 2012, p. 128). As the demand for blended learning opportunities increases, so does the need for development of instructors to teach and design blended courses and mechanisms to ensure the quality of courses and programs. The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee (UWM) has been providing instructional development and blended learning opportunities to students for over a decade. Since 2001, UWM has developed 8 blended degree programs. In the fall of 2012, UWM offered approximately 100 blended courses and enrolled 7,655 students (26%) in at least one blended course. UWM continues to see growth, as the nation does, and continues to provide opportunities for students to best meet their needs.
Flipped learning occurs when key learning materials are provided for study and review outside the traditional classroom environment, through audio, video, screen casts, online forums or reading.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Collaborating with colleagues to provide a scaffolded VLE for a flipped learning module
1. Collaborating with colleagues to
provide scaffolding for learners
on a flipped learning module

School of Law
University of Sheffield
2. The background and problem
We have been running a module for two academic years on the LLB
law degree (final year, elective module - cohort of approximately 140
students)
This module is delivered using flipped learning techniques - using
online screencasts for delivery of materials; prior to interactive
super-group sessions in place of traditional lectures; followed by one
seminar for each module topic
Contact time with the cohort is limited with only 22 x1 hour
interactive supergroup sessions and only 6 x 50 minutes seminars
over 11 teaching weeks
In 2017 we were looking for technical support and input in terms of
developing the quality of our module, in particular:
- development of the VLE to aid structured learning by the cohort
and engagement;
- to achieve better engagement by students in online discussions
and in lectures;
- to increase effective student usage of TEL and blended learning
3. The Solution
Participation in a University of
Sheffield Two Day Digital Retreat ( 6
and 7 April 2017)
Where we could call on a multi-
disciplinary team of learning
technologists and teaching excellence
colleagues
Who were able to challenge and
provoke our assumptions and inspire
us to make changes to our teaching

5. Summary of aims going into the
Digital Retreat
We had already devised and used a ‘week to view’ worksheet to try to help
students understand what they had to do, why and when by way of their flipped
learning. But:
Students felt there is too much pre-work before the interactive super-group
lectures
The MOLE course needed to be more user-friendly for students to navigate
pre-work
We needed to make appropriate and more consistent use of online
communication
We wanted to explore the use of additional quizzes for students to self-test
and give them more structure and confidence.
We wanted to make better use of analytics to understand how students made
use of the online resources
We hoped to develop a pro-forma template that others could use in the
University’s VLE to support flipped learning
6. The two (intense!) days of the
Digital Retreat
Development of a MOLE template that:
Blueprints clearly how the flipped and face to
face aspects work together
Sets out a clear sequential structure outlining
what the students should be doing when.
Streamlines the content, and allows for a full
course review and refresh
Provides a single unified interface to all the
MOLE learning materials needed for each
teaching week
8. Personal experience
Intensive but incredibly rewarding – a huge
amount achieved in 2 days!
A focused flexible space away from the
distraction of the office
A fantastic and patient team
Great interaction with the wider group, and a
hugely positive buzz to the two days
A very clear structured event with signposting,
guidance and continued support
10. After the retreat – the hard work!
Loading content on the MOLE structure
Developing quizzes to help test learning, and
revisiting content of Interactive Supergroup
Increased variety of content, through the use of
Padlet and Kaltura in particular
Dissemination of good practice – to colleagues in
the School of law, and at external conferences
A flipped learning VLE template for wider use
12. Hints and tips
1. Apply for the Retreat, or start your own!– a
fantastic, dedicated space away from the office
2. If part of a team – have a meeting that is
dedicated to learning and teaching
3. Make use of student feedback – this is key to
development
4. Think about scholarship – disseminate,
present, chat, write
5. Keep an open mind!
6. Identify areas for development, and then have
an open conversation with learning
technologists about how TEL can support
(rather than using technology for technology’s
sake)
