Becoming An Educationalist is designed to help Education students become successful in the present day as they study - and to become active, creative, critical and emancipatory educationalists for the 21st Century. This show encapsulates the first introductory lecture that explained some over-arching successful study strategies - and that explained the TLA approach of the module.
The meta-goal of the module is to re-define study and academic skills to include 'developing the digital you', with a focus on practical digital literacies and a more critical awareness of visual literacies: all aspects of creating and inhabiting on-line spaces and places... and IBL, PBL, Project-based learning, learning through art and artistic practices, learning through discussion, reflection and meta-reflection.

Research suggests that building a strong sense of connectedness in an online course promotes
student success, engages students, and retains students. This requires that you establish a strong
teaching presence within the course, and that you create structures for students to form a community.
In this session, you will learn strategies to make your online course more personal and techniques to
build faculty and student presence in your online course.

Learning
Technology Professional:
• Ethics and Values
• Theory
• Expertise and
knowledge
• Practices and skills
• Standards
6. What roles do we play?
On each table are a number of ‘hats’ which we might wear
during our work.
•What is the distinction between each role?
•How (far) might each apply to LD work?
•Can you add any? Would you reject any?
7. A hierarchy?
Which do you identify
most closely with? Which
do you identify least with?
Organise the roles in a
hierarchy
8. A Continuum?
Place each role along a continuum:
What is the ‘axis’ of the continuum – a spectrum between what and what?
? ?
9. The Values of Learning Development
How do you react to these views?
“Study skills support is really helpful for the weaker students, to stop them falling
behind”
“For one reason or another, students lack these skills when they come to uni, and
training is needed to give them the skills they need.”
“I never had any study skills support when I was a student – I was expected to pick this
stuff up by osmosis!”
“Academic writing and study has particular conventions and norms which just need to
be learned”.
“Study skills are important transferable skills. Every student should have a course of
class of study skills as well as their subject.”
10. Professional Values – what can we borrow?
•From teaching – student-centred, constructivist
•From counselling – empathy, unconditional positive regard,
congruence, confidentiality
•From guidance work – neutrality, impartiality
•From EAP/Careers - authenticity
•From Disability/SpLD - inclusivity, social justice
•General professional - physical boundaries and spaces, punctuality
and preparedness
12. ‘Doing’ Values
Choose one of the values.
How is this manifested in a practical way in an aspect of your LD
work?
• One to one
• Workshops
• Resource development
•Publicity
15. How to do a one to one tutorial
So what happens in a one to one tutorial?
Tell the story of the average one to one appointment, from start to
finish. What are the stages? What are the key elements?
Use the materials on the table to sketch it out as a timeline, cartoon, mindmap etc

20. The Learning Development One to One
• What needs to be done at the start of a one to one?
• Is there any standard structure to the middle?
• What needs to be done at the end?
Look both at what needs doing, and how it might best be done
21. Overcoming Barriers to Learning in the
One to One
You each have an example of a challenging behaviour which you
might encounter in a one to one: the issue and an example of what it
might sound like.
For each case, consider:
• What might the causes of this behaviour be?
• What might happen if you don’t try to address it?
• What strategies might you use to address it?
• How might you phrase this?
24. Workshops: Sharing practice
• Sue Meyer (Teeside University) ‘How to resource an
evolving workshop programme with limited staff’
• Jiani Liu (Leeds University) ‘Teaching critical thinking
to new first years’
• Caroline Crow (Newcastle University) ‘How to stop
reinventing the wheel every time’
27. “Tools” and techniques for workshops
Share your top workshop “tool” or technique
Suggest an activity, exercise, resource, prop, app, tool or approach which you’ve
used to good effect in workshops.
• 2 mins: jot down one idea
• 2mins share with the group – what do you do and why?
28. Plenary
•What insights about your practice have you gained today?
•What practical strategies might you try in your own practice?
•What else might be included in a day called ‘How to Be A Learning
Developer’?
Show of hands - Who’s come from where. What does it mean to be a professional?
Further prompts for discussion: are we teachers if we have no content to teach (or do we?) Are we advisers and what do we offer – guidance, information, advice? Are we experts? In what and where does that expertise come from?
Think about: the locus of control
The flow of information
Expertise needed
Independence
Familiarity needed
(draw on this again in the challenging behaviour section – maybe switching role might help – as in transactional analysis)
These views are drawn from the three levels outlined in Lea and Street – they’re all slightly ‘off’ somehow.
From counselling – rogers - empathy, unconditional positive regard, congruence, and also client-centred, client-led aims and outcomes, confidentiality
From teaching – student-centred, constructivist,
From guidance work – neutrality, impartiality
From EAP/Careers - authenticity
From Disability/SpLD - inclusivity, social justice
General professional - physical boundaries and spaces, punctuality and preparedness
From LD?
What would they add, remove or adapt?
Diamond ranking activity
Give start and end to different groups, ask both to discuss the middle
Facilitator notes: What does the student bring into the space? What about the approach to the space? How does the student feel in that space? How does the space shape this? Map their movement through it. How does one to one work intersect with other aspects of your LD role in that space? How much of the environment has been designed and how much of it is just happenstance/working round what’s there? How does it shape your practice?
Extension – collate all the maps on the table and construct your ideal one to one space. Draw yourself in the environment and body language, how you move within it
