The Value of Synchronous Communication in Online Learning EnvironmentsMichael Coghlan
Synchronous communication tools can provide important pedagogical and social benefits in online courses. A survey found that immediacy of feedback was a key pedagogical benefit, while community building and personal engagement were important social and affective benefits. However, synchronous activities can constrain students' independence and flexibility. To resolve this, instructors should not make synchronous sessions compulsory and should offer options for asynchronous participation as well. Synchronous tools work best for small group activities rather than whole class instruction.
The Relationship Between Content and InnovationMichael Coghlan
This document discusses issues related to content and innovation in education. It suggests that gathering content involves browsing resources, deciding what to use, creating and organizing materials. It also emphasizes that innovation requires challenge, new skills and adapting to change. Several methods are proposed for making courses and assessments more innovative, such as alternative quiz questions that require real-world tasks or research. Overall, the document advocates an approach where content is co-created with students throughout a course to increase innovation.
Digital jamming: creativity, collaboration and skill-building through easy en...Jisc
Presenter: Sara Perry, director of studies, digital heritage, University of York.
This interactive session offers an introduction to the application of a variety of simple digital media technologies in building intellectual independence, critical thinking, professional networks and confidence amongst their users. Such technologies offer not only meaningful creative opportunities, but also mechanisms by which the very nature of academic and professional fields of practice can be prodded, extended and perhaps even fundamentally reconfigured.
Alongside considering their problematic implications (including their relationship to free labour, neoliberalism and personal security), I demonstrate here how they promise both to narrow the gap between theory and practice, and simultaneously empower emerging professionals.
Please bring your laptop, smartphone or tablet, and come ready to invent, experiment, discuss your experiences and share your questions and concerns about digital media in the educational environment.
