Simon Bowler, learning technologies and resources manager, Wiltshire College
Clive Carey, learning and skills development coach, Wiltshire College
Supporting all learners to progress and achieve is at the heart of what Wiltshire College do, and for those who support learners on non-accredited programmes with Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement (RARPA), ensuring this is evidenced and monitored accurately is all the more important.
Tasked with developing a digital solution that learners could own, that was intuitive for support staff to manage and provided managers with instant access to insightful data, the Wiltshire College learning technologies team settled on an open source solution which is already delivering positive results since being been introduced across the college.
This session will demonstrate the Wiltshire College RARPA system from the perspective of each group of users; the students managing their own progress, the staff using the system to support their learners and the managers now with a college-wide visibility of progress. In addition the developers will also explain how all of this was achieved, and their ideas for the future.

Conversational platforms as an alternative to the LMS - the results of the Aula pilot at Ravensbourne
Speakers:
Rosemary Stott, associate dean, learning innovation, Ravensbourne
Anders Krohn, co-founder and CEO, Aula
Building on Jisc and Educause’s work on ‘next generation digital learning environments’, this presentation explores the theory and its practical implications at institutional scale. The rationale for and results of the Ravensbourne pilot of the conversational platform Aula, used as an alternative to the LMS and emails, are discussed.
Speakers:
Reza Mosavian, student experience product owner, Tribal
Ken Barrett, student experience product manager, Tribal
Students want more choice and flexibility, but technology moves so quickly. What can institutions do to offer the best possible student experience through technology whilst remaining relevant and cost-effective? Rather than investing in ‘the latest innovation’, a student engagement platform that continuously updates with the latest technology (such as voice activation digital assistants or AI) means you don’t have to back a single tool that could become outdated within a couple of years.
This interactive workshop discusses the links between students’ digital expectations vs reality and what universities and colleges are doing about it. There will be contributions from student experience directors, sharing their experience of creating the conditions necessary to enrich the digital lives of students through open, integrated and future-proof technologies.
Most importantly, please share your experiences and the strategies you’re employing or looking to employ to ensure you remain in touch with your current students and those thinking of studying with you.
Online teaching: overcoming the challenges, 20 October 2020Jisc
There is no one right way to use technology to underpin the curriculum. The range of possibilities can make it difficult for practitioners to know where to start, but as universities and colleges adapt to the new normal of teaching in hybrid environments support is needed to ‘get it right.’
There will be challenges, but you can overcome these if time and resources are directed at the right things. There are lots of misunderstandings about what it means to use technology to support teaching, learning and assessment. Academic staff need to approach the challenge with an awareness of those misconceptions as well as with a critical and creative mindset.
This webinar will showcase examples of how universities and colleges are currently adapting to provide flexible approaches to learning using digital. The focus will be on what lessons we have learned over the last six months and how we can make online learning a transformative experience for learners, rather than a deficit model.

Learning and teaching reimagined - how are student needs changing?Jisc
Presentation slides from our first learning and teaching reimagined series, which focused on how student needs are changing.
The rapid move to online learning brought about by COVID-19 has caused profound changes to higher education and the student experience.
But how much do we really know about the needs of our students? On what evidence are we basing these views? Even if we are confident that we do have a full and accurate picture of these needs, what difference is it making to our planning and decision making?
As part of our learning and teaching reimagined programme with UUK, Advance HE and Emerge Education, this webinar provided the opportunity to share your own understanding of your students’ needs and to hear those of others – not least from students themselves.
It explores the value of different types of evidence and, crucially, how to then build on this insight to ensure that the student voice permeates through, and plays an active role in, influencing your strategic planning.
Speaker: Patrick McGrath, education technology specialist, Texthelp.
The digital age we live in brings expectations from our students. Their daily interactions with technology are highly personalised, collaborative, communicative and full of potential learning opportunities. The challenge for educators is not about ability or access, it’s about context. How can we leverage these tools, and grab the opportunities that technology provide us all, but in a way that has a positive, measurable impact on teaching and learning?
In this short lightning session Patrick McGrath will work through recent research that highlights where technology gaps exist between practitioners and students. Attendees will leave with a proven, practical framework template that's evidenced by best practice example which can be adopted to help embrace technology as an integrated part of learning.
Blackboard as an Integrated Part of the Learning Environment and Student Expe...Blackboard APAC
Like all universities across the globe the University of Westminster is faced with major changes in student expectations and the role that technology has to play in curriculum delivery and the overall student experience. In 2013 the University initiated its Learning Futures program with the aim of transforming learning and teaching at the institution. Central to the transformation is an aim to make blended learning, through the use of technology, more the norm rather than the exception. To facilitate this shift in delivery approach across all subject areas, Westminster has and continues to make significant investment in both its virtual and physical environment in efforts to better integrate the online and face-to-face experience.

Georgie, the teacher educator, is in charge of initiating and coordinating an eLearning project involving teacher trainers and teachers from various parts of the country. The eLearning initiatives should consider the institutions’ low level of ICT penetration
Georgie needs to know the process to follow and the resources required to develop eLearning content and deliver the course through the Internet.

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.
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.

3. Principles
• Active: doing and thinking
Active Blended Learning (ABL)
Active Distance Learning (ADL), itself a complex blend
• Content in not King. Context is.
Good learning contexts promote quality contact
• Steer clear of outdated definitions of Blended Learning
• Fail to plan = plan to fail
Synchronous & asynchronous activity even within
short sessions
5. ABL – a definition
Active blended learning is a pedagogical approach
that combines sense-making activities with focused
student interactions (with content, peers and tutors)
in appropriate learning settings – in and outside the
classroom.
ABL focuses on engaging students in knowledge construction, reflection
and critique, the development of learner autonomy and the achievement
of learning outcomes.
7. ADL – a possible definition
Active distance learning is the University of Northampton's
approach to off-campus students' learning experiences. ADL
combines sense-making activities with focused and engaging
interactions in small groups, in synchronous and
asynchronous digital learning settings.
ADL focuses on engaging students in knowledge construction, reflection
and critique, the development of learner autonomy and the achievement
of learning outcomes.
8.
9. Avoid…
• Just replacing all f2f seminars with
real-time sessions
• Using synchronous sessions
mainly to “deliver content”
• Uploading materials with no
scaffold (“read this”, “watch that”)
Start or continue…
• Planning your teaching
• Redesigning: think context, not just
content
• Applying lessons from DL
• Blending sync-async, even for short
sessions
• Using sync sessions for motivation,
tutorial support & group cohesion
