Creating Digital Content for Learning Purposes in Sciences using Project Base...Chole Richard
This is an infant project that attempts to provide answers to fundamental problems facing the study of sciences in Uganda and the rest of Africa. Its main trust is project based learning concept that aims at empowering the participating young people with knowledge, skills and attitudes to enable them become problem solvers of identified needs in the study of sciences rather than passive learners. The project aims beyond learner excellence of attaining set standards through mere memorizing or rote learning to pass exams.
Unlike the traditional mode of teaching and learning in most schools in Africa, here the learners remain the driving force and creators of content for learning purposes. Young people are very curious, very imaginative and fearless at trying new grounds - three very important ingredients for innovation in sciences but largely over looked or - worst still - killed off by schools of today. This project seeks to appeal to these important elements to capture the young learners’ interests in coming up with creative ideas for the project. In the whole process the educator is more of a guide, facilitator or mentor - creating the necessary environment and support that the learners may need to experience learning.
Once a problem area in sciences has been identified, the learners generally use the multimedia production stages to execute their task backed by research work, consulting and soliciting for expert input of resource persons. This from time to time is punctuated by self-evaluations or reflections. Once the product is completed, it is made available on DVD’s and uploaded on Multimedia website (YouTube) to be utilized for free. The learners are also given opportunity to share their work at exhibitions whenever the opportunity avails itself or they create it themselves.
While the main thrust is digital creation of learning contents for sciences, the project is actually broad and diverse in the skills it develops. The project is conscious of individual difference among the learners so that each of them discovers his/her potentials and interest that can be utilized in the project and may determine the learners’ career goals. The project subjects the learners to very crucial skills and appreciation of team work, collaboration, negotiating in a group, communication skills, research mentality, learning to take advantage of available technology, working with minimum supervision, self-evaluation, social responsibility and global citizenship. The ultimate test is not so much in the end products of the project but the change brought about in the learner by the whole process. The learner’s level of involvement in the project is therefore very vital.

Using social media safely and appropriately in higher education - A reflectio...Sue Beckingham
In 2013 we developed guidance for using social media for learning which was student facing and that staff could also access to guide their advice to students. The development of the guidance was prompted by an increasing number of requests from academic staff who were concerned about student online behaviours in social media spaces. Most of these requests for help were from staff on professional courses with staff concerns primarily about potentially unprofessional online behaviours. We focused on student guidance for personal responsibility and online safety, followed by broad-brush guidance in how to use social media in learning and teaching. We then developed guidance in three further areas: Using social media for learning; Managing your digital footprint; How to use social media responsibly; and Using social media to enhance your employability. We have updated this guidance a few times in the last 10 years and now in 2023 we have redeveloped the guidance again, giving a thorough overhaul and fresh update. In our presentation we will share our new guidance and discuss what is new and what has stayed the same over the past 10 years.
From monologue to dialogue - Scaffolding multi-perspective and co-constructed...Sue Beckingham
Poster & Pitch Presentation at the AHE Conference #assessmentconf23
Abstract
As educators we want to encourage our students to react to and enact upon feedback given. However for students to benefit from feedback they need to understand the components of feedback literacy (Carless and
Boud, 2018), the value of feedforward (Sambell et al, 2012) and how to connect the dots between different
types of feedback.
Supplementing one-way monologic feedback with interactive and dialogic feedback, provides students with opportunities to make sense of it. Furthermore it provides tutors with feedback on how students negotiate the
meaning of not just the feedback but also the assessment guidance and marking criteria (Bloxham and West, 2007). Being able to ask questions and engage in conversations about their feedback, enable students to take ownership of their own development whilst feeling supported. However we know that students are not always
proactive receivers of feedback (Winstone et al, 2017). Whilst the role of the tutor in this process is important, there’s a place for others to contribute. Yang and Carless’s (2013:287) feedback triangle makes a valuable
connection between the content of feedback, the social end interpersonal negotiation of feedback, and the organisation and management of feedback. Yet unless the student is guided and supported to understand how to recognise the many different ways feedback can be given and develop trust in those giving feedback, they may find it hard to engage with any feedback and the value of ongoing social learning relationships. As McArthur and Huxham (2013) argue, the use of dialogic feedback should be introduced from the start and
become an ongoing practice the students develop confidence in.
The aim of my poster will be to visualise the interconnected components that can impact on the effective use of feedback. Based on an evaluation of practice, a case study of a second-year elective module will be used to demonstrate how scaffolding a variety of feedback mechanisms can help build feedback literacy, provide
clarity of what is expected from students and identify pinch points. During the module ongoing formative feedback is given to students not only by their Tutor, but also their peers and the Clients students work with on an applied project. This includes verbal and written dialogic formative feedback and the integration of peer led
social media and collaborative technologies for interactive and reflective feedback. The outcomes of the students’ final piece of summative assessment are greatly enhanced.
Students' use of social media for academic studies - The connecting bridge be...Sue Beckingham
Engaging in groupwork can have many benefits, but in practice can become fraught with challenges. Students participating in groupwork projects and activities are more likely to succeed if they can meet regularly, feel they are included and belong, and know how they can contribute. The diverse student body include those that commute to university, juggle work and have caring responsibilities. They may have a learning contract or as international students are listening, learning, and speaking in a second language. All of these can impact on the logistics and success of in-person meetings. My research will share from the student’s perspective how social media and digital technology can support group cohesion, trust, and productivity. Insights from final year students will provide feedback on their experience of how technology has helped them develop effective groupwork skills; and from recent graduates how they now apply these skills in the workplace.
How should our higher education institutions respond to innovations in new AI...Sue Beckingham
Title:
How should our higher education institutions respond to innovations in new AI-based language processing software (like Chat GPT)?
Summary
Education Development staff and units are already receiving enquiries from academics who are concerned about new AI-based language processing software (like Chat GPT) and more recent innovations from Microsoft and Google, using current internet search data. This session will summarise main issues and the most likely developments in this software before suggesting major steps which every institution could/should take to ensure that we take advantage of its considerable educational potential.
Outline
A leading expert on artificial intelligence (AI) and its application to learning, Donald Clark, suggests that the date of ChatGPT’s official release:
“...will go down in history as the day a new wave of innovation around AI was given birth. This will change everything in learning.” (1)
In its own words:
“ChatGPT can understand, generate and respond to human language. It is a sophisticated technology that can help in various applications like chatbot and other language generation tasks.” (2)
ChatGPT became the fastest-growing software application of all time, immediately generating media headlines such as: “Goodbye homework” (The Telegraph) and “AI bot ChatGPT stuns academics with essay-writing skills” (The Guardian)
Academics are running pilots/trials (3) and have already demonstrated that ChatGPT can:
• Write assignments and reports (which can be adapted to communicate to different levels of audience) and achieve pass grades at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. (4)
• Grade assignments against assessment criteria and produce an appropriate feedback report. (5)
• Write module specifications. (5)
• Produce lesson plans for specified topics. (5)
• Be a useful study aid (6)
• Construct several different drafts on a given topic. (6)
• Produce outlines for essays or reports. (6)
• Write working computer code. (7)
• Produce illustrations from a written description. (8)
ChatGPT’s success and new products (such as Bing from Microsoft and the Bard from Google) raises fundamental questions about its use by students. Will they use it to enhance learning (as ‘study buddy’ or ‘writer’s assistant’) or as a sophisticated plagiarism tool (which cannot yet be reliably detected by tools like Turnitin)?
This session will summarise main issues and the most likely developments in this software (9, 10) before suggesting major steps which every institution could/should take to ensure that we take advantage of its considerable educational affordances and potential “PedAIgogical” impact (11).

Exploring modality in the context of blended and hybrid education.pptxSue Beckingham
In this session Simon and Sue will present their individual but inter-related work examining modes of learning and mixed-modal education. With reference to Modes of Learning in Higher Education (Beckingham, 2021) and the Subject, Pedagogy and Modality (SPaM) Framework (Thomson, 2022), the session will introduce participants to proposed definitions for learning modes as well as a framework to support the development of mixed-modal curriculum. Drawing upon their own experiences, the presenters will provide examples of where mixed-modal design can be most effective and how such a process can support a future hybrid curriculum underpinned by “sound pedagogical reasons” (Office for Students, 2022) as we move towards an education experience that will ultimately become more blended by default.
Mattering, meaning making and motivation - Building trust and respect through...Sue Beckingham
Making connections, interacting, and learning to collaborate with peers are vital components of the student experience. This may start in person but there are now many more ways that extend both informal and formal learning through the development of multimodal social learning communities. Students are empowered to co-create their own virtual learning places using social media providing valued space to develop a more personalised and inclusive learning relationship; and the choice to interact when and where they choose. Scaffolded by tutors, this can provide support to develop interpersonal communication and cooperation.
This presentation will share suggestions on how social media can support mattering where students build trust and feel significant; steps to ensure they understand what is expected of them in these spaces; and shared experiences where students have learned to work cooperatively, motivating them to achieve the goals they have planned.
A practical approach to amplifying scholarly practice through digital technol...Sue Beckingham
This presentation focuses on approaches individuals can employ to share their teaching excellence in a way that celebrates their contribution, assures recognition, and secures metrics that offer an indication of the works reach, value and impact.
Taking into consideration the broad spectrum of work that can be defined as ‘scholarly practice’ e.g., research informed teaching, pedagogy in and beyond the classroom, and the scholarship of learning and teaching, our presentation illuminates several approaches and demonstrates how they can be used to share these important outputs more widely.
Considering both the benefits and challenges, approaches to the effective dissemination of scholarship will include the innovative use of digital technology, highlight the ‘best’ social media platforms, and draw delegates attention to the award-winning National Teaching Repository.
Sharing real-life examples of scholarly outputs in multiple multi-media based formats (e.g., teaching resources, infographics and audio) we will demonstrate, step-by-step, the dissemination journey that delegates can adopt themselves. In addition to mapping the practical steps, the presentation will highlight how and why sharing one’s scholarship is beneficial, but also why it is important to find and try new ways of sharing.

Using social media safely and appropriately in higher education.pptxSue Beckingham
The almost ubiquitous use of mobile technology and easy access to social media apps, and more recently video conferencing software such as Zoom, provide multiple ways for individuals to interact. These technologies have been adopted by both educators and students and provide many useful ways to communicate and collaborate within and beyond the classroom. The acceleration of digital communication tools and widespread use of digital technology in our daily lives present tensions as the collection of personal data increasingly gives rise to privacy concerns. Furthermore, inappropriate online communications have resulted in serious situations and significant repercussions for those involved. It is therefore timely to revisit the guidance on appropriate online behaviour in the use of social media, and how we use technology safely, along with being clear about the potential implications if this advice is not heeded. In our session we will share the open access resources we have developed at Sheffield Hallam University with suggestions on how these could be used with students. These include: How to use social media responsibly, Managing your digital footprint, Using social media for learning, and Using social media to enhance your employability.
Using social media to create your own professional development and PLN.pptxSue Beckingham
This presentation consider sthe importance as an educator of developing a personal learning network (PLN) and the ways social media can contribute to your own professional development. Drawing upon the weekly Learning and Teaching in HE twitter chat (known as #LTHEchat) as an exemplar, I share what members of this community have valued as participants and for some being volunteer members of the LTHEchat organising team.
Getting to know your students through storytelling.pptxSue Beckingham
Starting university can be a daunting experience. As educators we want all our students to have a sense of belonging, to feel valued and respected. Spending time at the beginning of the academic year to get to know your students, for them to get to know each other, and for them to get to know you is a valuable way to put them at ease.
Cultivating an inclusive learning community develops confidence and students are more likely to engage. My presentation will share some of the activities my first-year students experience and how this contributes to student engagement.

Prior research has highlighted that whilst engaging in groupwork can have many benefits, in practice it can also present a range of challenges. We know that our diverse student body includes those that commute to university, juggle work and have caring responsibilities; they may have a learning contract; or as international students are listening, learning, and speaking in a second language. All of these can impact on the logistics and success of in-person group meetings, a crucial component of groupwork. This poster outlines the outcomes of a qualitative study with recent graduates and final year students and their personal recommendations to make groupwork more inclusive, supportive and valued. The research will share from the student’s perspective how social media and digital technology can support group cohesion, trust, and productivity; along with suggestions that could help all students better prepare for a multimodal approach to groupwork.
The complex web of social interaction - Expanding virtual and spatial multili...Sue Beckingham
From an early age we learn how to communicate with others and develop an understanding of etiquette and what constitutes polite behaviour and good manners when interacting in person. The term ‘netiquette’ refers to internet etiquette. Welsh and Wright (2010) use the term netiquette as the rules of etiquette in digital communication and DeJong (2013:115) describe netiquette as "a term used for professional and polite practices online".
Students will use multiple ways to communicate with their friends and family in a social context; with peers and tutors throughout their learning and assessment experience; and with potential employers when seeking placements and graduate job opportunities. Communication may be in person or online, be formal or informal. Furthermore the modes of communication used will be multimodal integrating visual, audio, gestural and spatial patterns of meaning (Cope and Kalantzis, 2009). The New London Group (1996:63) coined the term multiliteracies to describe “the multiplicity of communications channels and media, and the increasing saliency of cultural and linguistic diversity”. There are expectations that students entering university will all have a command of these multiliteracies and the expected rules of netiquette. Moreover they may be judged and assessed on their interactions both in person and online. A significant question is where are they taught these skills and how do we know the students have developed them?
This poster considers a range of literacies required as networked individuals (Rainie and Wellman, 2012), and the need to provide students with guidance on professional social skills and multi literacy support. Drawing upon Miller’s (2015) multi literacies framework for university learning, suggestions for formative activities are given. These focus on six domains of literacy: institutional literacies, digital literacies, social and cultural literacies, critical literacies, language literacies, and academic literacies.

Learning to learn is a lifetime endeavour. Anderson (2016) proposes that aspiration, self-awareness, curiosity, and vulnerability can help us to address new learning curves. Key to this is learning with and from others – learning as a partnership. My keynote will consider the different modes of learning students may experience in higher education and reflect on the importance and value of learning communities for each. I will share the PARTNERSHIP framework I am developing which proposes a collection of building blocks that when considered, can help to scaffold the development of learning communities.
Building a social learning community: Tips and tools for surviving a PhD and professional learning during a pandemic and beyond.

Undertaking independent professional learning or further study such as a PhD or EdD can be an isolating experience. You may be juggling full-time work and studying part-time; have caring responsibilities; studying in person or as a distance learner. Irrespective of study mode, the experience of being a PhD or EdD student is very different to a taught undergraduate or postgraduate degree where a cohort of students study together and follow the same curriculum for the main part of their degree. The PhD experience whilst an individual learning experience, can still open up opportunities for serendipitous conversations. These may occur on campus in the corridor, seminars, guest lectures, in the workplace, during social activities or through attending conferences. However, during the pandemic opportunities for such interactions were curtailed and all contact was shifted online through remote learning. The session will be facilitated through a ‘fireside chat’ where we will share the spaces (tools), places (groups), and resources that have helped us through the pandemic; considering those we will take forward to support our continued journey, those that we will try to incorporate, and those that we are glad to leave behind. This session will provide input to a co-created toolkit which will be shared openly for use and adaptation by others. The toolkit could also be used by individuals undertaking other types of professional development. This might include scholarship, research or study, for example an Academic Professional Higher Degree Apprenticeships, Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice or applying for a Senior/Principal Fellowship, SEDA Fellowship, CMALT (Certified Membership of ALT) or other professional recognition scheme.
Recognising the value of interdependence through cooperative active learningSue Beckingham
Presentation at the Practical Pedagogy Conference.
The events of the past 18 months have meant that many educators have had to adapt the way they teach and to undertake this online. For those who had already embraced active flexible learning, the transition online to some extent was made easier. In my session I will share my teaching approaches pre pandemic, during, and my plans for the coming academic year. This will demonstrate how active cooperative learning is an essential component of the student experience and one that complements both individual and competitive learning approaches.
Drawing upon Social Interdependence Theory (Brufee 1993, Johnson and Johnson 2010) I will highlight the conditions that are essential for effective cooperation and how this can help to develop students to become confident lifelong learners who are able to work both independently and collaboratively. I will also introduce the Learning Activity Smörgåsbord and the accompanying resources I am currently developing and seek feedback and further suggestions. This will then be shared with a Creative Commons licence and added to the National Teaching Repository.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

Brief: Create a 2 minute visual artefact
that will portray the importance of using
social media responsibly
Students and Staff can access these four resources at
http://go.shu.ac.uk/socialmedia
Discussion:
The whole class
were involved
8. The project
Following the Client brief the students on the module had 1 week to prepare
and in pairs pitch their ideas to the Client.
The Client gave immediate feedback.
Students developed their proposed visual artefact over 2 weeks, gave a
short presentation to the Client and once again received feedback
Students were then invited to develop this work further and give a further
presentation showing their artefact to a panel.
The Client and panel gave feedback and then shortlisted 4 winning projects
These 4 groups then polished their artefacts further and presented their
final work.
9. 'The importance of
responsible use of social media
and the value of developing a
professional online presence'
Sue Beckingham
All students attended a Client led seminar
10. Aim 1:
Highlight that some employers will carry out
Google searches to uncover the digital footprint
of an individual...
11. Aim 2:
Raise awareness that
an unprofessional
online presence could
mark the end of a
career before it has
even started....
12. Aim 3:
Help students consider the real
impact of a social media faux pas
13. Aim 4:
Through engaging with the project, students
would develop graduate skills
14. "The most important thing
that I learnt throughout the
client project was the how
crucial it was to have a
detailed plan of what must be
done and when. The key was
to have perfect time
management."
"In this client project
I have learnt how to
show my work,
confidently to a large
audience."
15. "I've learnt a lot from this
project including how to
work well in a team and
organise what we do best,
as well as create assets to a
professional standard under
time constraints"
"Good
communication with
the client is vital"
