12. Satisfaction
I really really loved the interactive
lectures, they made me more engaged
and I believe I learnt more in this style
of teaching.
The Screencasts are essential to go
through before the lectures, but this is
a good thing.
I found the prerecorded screen
casts/quiz style lectures actually very
helpful, they made you actually think
about the lecture material while it was
being taught instead of leaving it all to
revision time…
Did not enjoy his method of teaching,
having to watch screencasts in our own
time and then doing questions in the
lecture was not helpful to me.
…too much reliance on understanding
material…
…would have preferred less of the pre-
lecture screencasts and and more of
this material being taught in the
lectures rather than the 'big scale
tutorial' type set up.

24. These are my principles
“These are my principles. If you don’t like them I
have others.”
Almost certainly never said by Groucho Marx. It has
been attributed to New Zealand 19th century
politicians.
Is it possible to deliver a keynote presentation without a bullet point?
How about without an abbreviation?
I am going to dare to do away with the technological crutch.
NSS scores, proportion in employment/ further education from DLHE, and retention rates
Try evidencing a national teaching fellowship with that data.
The students are paired and allocated a revision topic.
Each student pair prepares a presentation to be critiqued by their peers and instructors.
Each pair delivers a presentation to their peers and the session is captured using Camtasia Studio.
Each student pair creates a vignette from their screencast or a subsequent recording.
The student authored vignettes are published online to be used as a revision tool.
