This document provides an introduction to blended learning and includes activities for attendees to conceptualize how to implement blended learning approaches. It defines blended learning as combining online digital media with traditional classroom methods. Attendees are asked to brainstorm what blended learning means to them and consider how they would structure a module using blended and online activities, tools, and resources to engage learners and help them achieve desired learning outcomes. Examples and links are provided to illustrate blended learning concepts and potential learning paths.
10 tips on how to facilitate collaborative learning in an online environment. Based on Bridley, Blaschke, and Walti's "Creating Effective Collaborative Learning Groups in an Online Environment" (2009).
Our extremely successful 2 day accelerated learning workshop - new dates just released 14th - 15th April at the offices of net a porter - a great opportunity to tool up and network with wonderful, like minded people in a stimulating environment.
Using Blogs as a Tool to Develop Students' Writing and Critical Thinking SkillsUCL
Slides from UCL Arena Exchange Seminar, 14 Jan 2015
Critical thinking and being able to express this in written form is a crucial skill for students in evaluating ideas, applying concepts to real-life situations and solving problems. As a deep approach to learning it is inherently difficult to teach.
This seminar will present an approach that enables students to develop their writing and critical thinking skills using blogs as a tool. This is based on experiences from the module ‘Buildings Organisations Networks’(BON) in the MSc Spatial Design: Architecture and Cities at the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment at UCL, where blogs formed an integral part of the teaching and learning experience as well as the assessment.
The seminar will give a brief overview of the approach and then focus on a round table discussion to share questions, views, perspectives and ideas to apply this approach to different teaching practices and settings.

Designing with blended learning in mind requires the same understanding and skills that are applied to all course design. A key difference is that consideration must also be given to how the activities, delivery methods, technologies, learning spaces and assessments are integrated. These all have a direct impact on how the activities are designed. This session, designed with university lecturers in mind, seeks to establish and share best practice in blended learning, bridging the gap between strategy and delivery by empowering higher education teachers to translate principles of blended learning into effective teaching and learning practice.

Implementation of Inclusive Design principles in the LMS online course enviro...Neda Zdravkovic
When “Inclusive Design” is referred to in the higher education context, it is commonly associated with planning and designing learning environments that meet the diverse and variable needs of all students and staff. Nationally, there is currently strong advocacy for New Zealand Government to introduce legislation that would set out minimum access standards for workplaces, institutions and public.
In response to this initiative, the University of Auckland has employed the community of interest (CoI) approach this year to address inclusive design as an opportunity to go beyond just awareness of equity issues and take action in the academic community, making a tangible, achievable difference. The Inclusive Design working group has been formed this year as a grassroots movement of learning designers, learning advisors, learning services librarians, disability learning advisors, professional teaching fellows, ITS and Canvas support team members, with the aim to run a promotional and educational campaign, design and implement Inclusive Design principles into academic course LMS /Canvas environment, curriculum design, as well as staff training and professional development venues (online, workshops, publication/promotion, best and worst practice examples and guides).
This presentation will address the guiding principles and practice of this grassroots working group, the output and staff training resources currently being developed and applied to ensure both ACODE and Inclusive Design standards are addressed in the new course development.
Participants will have the opportunity to gain insight into the CoI collaboration model, the Inclusive Design resources and curriculum development materials they can take away and apply/implement in their instructional practices and work with students and academic staff.

The TedEd lessons promote student engagement because they are interesting, short, and engaging. They ask for students to participate and think outside of yes/no questions and paper assignments. Although these lessons are not directly linked to the standards I typically teach, it is easy to connect them and get the students thinking critically about how one thing lead to another or how the events connect to standards. Like in the TedEd lesson I explored, “The History of Video Games.” I thought this would get my boys really engaged in the lesson right out the gate. For my Critical Thinking class, I teach lessons on globalization and how we are becoming more connected. I would show the TedEd video to the students as a warmup and ask them how video games are a common world language. We could then go into the larger lesson of global citizenship. For my class, I would have this video link in a task page on Its Learning, our online learning platform. This lesson would be an example of ISTE standard 2b, learning to make safe online connections.
What I learned from “The History of Video Games,” is that they were originally created for the military. I thought that was interesting and I felt that many of our students would also think that was interesting. The evolution of video games went from military, to science lab, to arcade, and then home. This shows students that just because something is created for one reason, it may have a larger purpose. I thought this lesson had many broader themes.
I think lessons like this are important when paired with a rubric because the rubric allows students to see what they are supposed to learn from something, instead of having to assume or guess (Brookhart, 2013). By doing this, the students are able to guide their own learning, and the teacher will be able to assess for learning. If a rubric is designed with the ending in mind, the student may have confusion of what should go into the assignment or not understand how much or the depth of knowledge they should take from each piece of information. Designing a rubric for learning will allow the student to guide themselves into turning in a product that the teacher can grade based on what is understood, and in that case, she can go back and fill in the missing pieces with the student and know if she should remediate, reteach, or move forward.
Side note: I just created a rubric TODAY with this whole lesson in mind and I am quite impressed with myself.

Turnitin is a plagiarism-prevention service and feedback tool which can be extremely useful in formative assessment to help students learn how to avoid plagiarism and improve their writing. This hands-on session will explore its features and the integration with the Assignment tool in Sulis from a pedagogically and research-informed perspective.
Good educational practice points to the need to provide timely, confidential, manageable and empowering feedback (Race, 2013). Yet, with increasing demands on academics and large cohorts, this becomes very difficult to manage. This session explores ways in which the available insitutional tools (Sulis, Turnitin, clickers, etc) can enhance the assessment and feedback experience for students and bring efficiencies for teaching staff.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

Activity
• Think of a module that you are teaching and:
– Decide what activities and e-tivities* will help these
learners to achieve your desired outcome
– Decide what learning tools and resources are appropriate
(you may include any e- and m-technologies)
– Describe how you will structure learners’ interactions and
support
* ‘E-tivities’ (Salmon, 2002) generally involve the teacher providing a small piece of
information, stimulus or challenge (the 'spark‘). For example, learners take part in an online
discussion or activity which requires them to respond in some way
Decide a series of discrete topics and write each in a box. (Use one colour of post-it notes, e.g. orange).
Use a different colour post-it note to represent assessment (e.g. yellow). If assessment only occurs at the end of the module, you should just have a single yellow post-it with a description of this, at the end of the storyboard. If assessment instances occur during the module, please use post-its throughout to represent that.
Rewrite and move around the post-it notes until you are satisfied.
Add possible learning activities (or e-tivities) appropriate to each section using a third colour post-it note (e.g. green). Use one green post-it note for each e-tivity you identify. Stick these post-it notes in the appropriate section of the storyboard. On each post-it note, at this stage, simply write the purpose of each e-tivity.
