Students Creating and Submitting Digital Presentations Using PanoptoKonstantina Martzoukou
With the current shift experienced in Higher Education towards micro-learning, flipped and blended classrooms, class recordings may involve different types of activities in addition to lecture capture. For example, staff may use recordings for walk-through demonstrations, practical sessions, revision activities, and assessment overviews. In addition, recordings may be used for non-teaching purposes, such as course orientation, guest talks and resources designed to support students’ accessibility, widening participation, inclusivity, belongingness and study flexibility. However, there can also be student-led recorded presentations, which help students to develop a range of professional skills, such as effective presentation, team-work and digital literacy skills. The recording of student presentations may also help to simplify moderation and quality assurance processes.

1. women’s development for undergraduates
®
Pioneered by the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the
Sprint programme adds value to the overall package offered
by universities, and results in women undergraduates who:
Making the most of opportunities
has never been more important
• are more actively engaged in their studies and careers
• have focussed goals and aspirations
• consider a wide range of careers and opportunities
• improve their employability
• increase their self esteem
• boost their personal effectiveness
• know how to present themselves effectively
• develop wider networks across the university
• make links with sponsoring organisations
growing people and organisations
2. What results can you expect?
Participants achieve a mixture of results in the
following three areas:
Study: Many women achieve study results such as;
improved visibility and effectiveness in tutorials,
improved time management, less study stress, a boost
in confidence and self esteem.
Career: Many women use Sprint to sharpen their
career goals, raise their aspirations, explore
possibilities and to take advantage of the work
shadowing and coaching often offered by corporate
sponsors.
Personal: Many women achieve results in their
personal lives, such as sorting out difficult
relationships, establishing priorities, improving fitness,
reducing stress and gaining a better study/life balance.
Women undergraduates are put off
applying for certain occupations
and industries and tend, on average,
to earn significantly less than their male
colleagues. Research at the University of
Oxford identifies a shockingly large pay gap
between men and women, despite graduating
from Oxford with the same class degrees in
the same subjects. As one example, 50% of
Social Science male graduate leavers earn
£27,000 or more on leaving, while 70% of
females with exactly the same degrees, earn
£27,000 - OR LESS!
Another survey, by the Higher Education
Careers Unit, measured the earnings of 17,000
recent graduates. 70% of women graduates
were earning less than £24,000, compared
with 55% of men. This applied even in subject
areas where women's participation was
greater than men's, such as law.
Meanwhile, the rise in tuition fees means that
students expect a great deal more from the
package of benefits provided by their university.
What does it consist of?
Delivered over several weeks, it consists of the
following ingredients:
• a comprehensive workbook with all the
material for the entire programme
• additional online learning tools
• four action-packed one-day workshops
• the provision of real, relevant and inspiring
role models
• the encouragement of effective networks
within the group
• opportunities to engage with any corporate sponsors
Warwick Sprint programmes attract sponsorship,
providing opportunities for meeting women from the
corporate world, hearing from a range of inspirational
female speakers who are successful in their field.
Participants can elect to be mentored by women
employed within the sponsoring organisations,
opening up opportunities for career development
support and networking.
What is the Sprint programme?
Sprint is the fabulous new development programme
addressing the issues for undergraduate women and
built on the success of the Springboard programme
for women at work. Pioneered at the Universities
of Cambridge and Oxford, both universities have
contributed to the development of the new
Sprint programme.
Who is it for?
For all women undergraduates, from all backgrounds,
ages and stages in their lives and study, regardless of
their subject, department or career aspirations.
For all universities, to provide added value to the
overall offering to students, enable them to develop
their women students to their fullest potential and to
ensure that women undergraduates are able to make
the most of the career opportunities available.

The Sprint programme was a wonderful

Coming together with other women to debate and
discuss our attributes, values and motivation was a
great way of exploring our lives and future careers.

What about women at work?
We offer a wide range of programmes for women at
work. Each programme addresses different issues and
needs. The award-winning Springboard Women’s
Development Programme is our flagship programme,
used by hundreds of thousands of women worldwide
and specifically addressing the issues of
non-management women – the vast majority of
women at work. BOOST is for women in the early
stages of their careers and Spring Forward addresses
issues for women in management. Hi-Point is
specifically for those glass-ceiling breakers at the top,
whilst Fresh Steps is for those wishing to reassess
and reset goals in mid-career.
In each case, both the content and the process are
tailored to the group. We also design and deliver
customised, one-off programmes to clients’
requirements.
The Sprint programme has enabled me to identify
my key values and goals and provided me with the
foundations and skills to reach these.....

“

my confidence, strengths, self-awareness and
employability. The Sprint progamme has done all this in
3 days.
”
“Listening to the keynote speakers was empowering.
It was inspirational to hear about their successes
and how they overcame any issues they faced in the
working world.
