Students analyze plays through facsimiles and digital archives, then discuss them in class. They also listen to related podcasts to reflect on how works have impacted society over time. The document outlines examples analyzing works through various archives and digital content, and advocates for responsive, student-led learning that links collections and encourages new pathways for discovery.
This document outlines a collaboration between University College Cork Library and the university's Graduate Attributes Programme to develop learning experiences for students. It provides background on UCC, which has over 23,000 students, and describes the graduate attributes the university aims to develop in students, such as being creators, thinkers, and socially responsible global citizens. The project team then created 5 learning experiences centered around the graduate attributes. These experiences included interactive activities and discussions to help students understand what it means to be creators, evaluators, and communicators. The collaboration aims to strengthen students' skills and align tasks to their schedules.
This document discusses the role of libraries in supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides examples of how libraries can help raise awareness of the SDGs through posters, bookmarks and other advocacy materials. Libraries are also discussed as places that can support interdisciplinary research and teaching related to the SDGs. The document highlights several resources for libraries interested in learning more about engaging with the SDGs.
This document discusses open educational resources (OERs) created for digital literacy at University College Dublin. It describes an interactive online module with three units on digital identity and wellbeing. The module contains tutorials that were adapted from existing OERs and newly created from scratch. Challenges included updating outdated resources and effectively sharing new tutorials. Solutions involved recreating a tutorial in a new program, removing excess content, and making resources publicly available through a library guide and file sharing. Future plans are to share editable documents and package files to promote wider dissemination and long-term preservation.
A nursing journal club was started for mental health nurses to help disseminate evidence-based research findings. Due to scheduling difficulties with in-person meetings, an online hybrid journal club model was implemented using Padlet and Microsoft Teams. A survey found that nurses were interested but lacked time and confidence in critical appraisal. The hybrid model provided flexible access and support for critical appraisal skills. After one year, over 100 nurses had participated across 12 sessions. While challenges remain around securing time and technology barriers, the hybrid nursing journal club was a success in connecting research to practice.
The document describes an assignment toolkit created by librarians at Munster Technological University to embed library resources and support directly into coursework. The toolkit contains modules to help instructors integrate open educational resources and research assistance into assignments in a meaningful way. It was developed in partnership with faculty as part of the university's library learning community and aligns with national strategies for enhancing teaching and learning.
Collaborating with students - Reflections on UCC co-creating learning experie...CONUL Teaching & Learning
This document summarizes a project where UCC Library collaborated with students to improve its Canvas course and create interactive learning objects. Six students provided feedback and co-created content like H5P objects and scavenger hunts. Their feedback led to improvements like clearer module structure and interactive elements. Students enjoyed contributing and learning new skills. Challenges included promoting the scavenger hunt app and remote coordination. Future plans include continued accessibility work and student involvement.
This document discusses digital skills workshops and training for early career researchers to help them survive and thrive in a data-driven research environment. It outlines the research process and how various workshops on topics like tidy data, data cleaning, Python, and R aim to provide fundamental computational skills. These workshops follow the Carpentries approach of being hands-on, collaborative, and emphasizing peer learning and experimentation. Potential next steps discussed are expanding topic coverage, offering undergraduate courses, and adding specialist workshops, which will require growing a trainer network and community of practice with ongoing support.
The document discusses makerspaces in university libraries. It defines makerspaces as physical spaces that bring together communities of users around tools and technologies to spur learning, creativity, and innovation. The document outlines three models of makerspace management: pedagogical, platform, and hybrid. It provides examples of student projects in 3D printing, drone photography, and accessibility. The document also discusses workshops on equipment use and outlines some of the tools available in the makerspace, including 3D printers and scanners. It emphasizes that sustained investment of space, funding, and personnel are needed for makerspace success.
This document discusses the changing role of libraries and information literacy in a post-pandemic world. It notes that while libraries have traditionally focused on collections, catalogs, and user education, the modern information landscape requires a focus on digital and information literacies to help students navigate an uncertain digital future. The author advocates for libraries to take a leadership role in developing these literacies, and outlines her success in advocating for her library to create a new "Digital Learning Librarian" role focused on advancing digital literacy skills across the university.
Peter took a 10-week open course on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) which broadened his horizons and challenged his teaching practices, helping him become more creative. UDL improved his cultural awareness of diverse student groups by encouraging him to make learning materials, like using Lego, that are accessible to all students by addressing different learning styles. He is still exploring UDL and hopes to develop more interactive online tools to represent abstract concepts in concrete ways to make them easier for all students to comprehend.
The document discusses Ireland's National Access Plan which provides targets for higher education institutions to meet in order to promote equity, access, participation, and success in higher education from 2022 to 2028. It also discusses staff training opportunities at institutions on topics like Microsoft accessibility features, universal design for learning, digital accessibility, disability awareness, autism awareness, and traveler culture awareness. The key takeaways encourage listening to users, being agile, applying flexibility, utilizing free accessibility features on Microsoft 365, and providing a link for more information.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

14. The negative effects of the current system
• Every mark matters
– learning from marking scheme
• Strategic choice of subject and level
– workload and difficulty – return on investment
– matriculation requirements
• Points equated with prestige and quality
– and are not to be wasted
• Proliferation of separate entry routes
• Poor transition to third level learning
– prior learning, learning behaviours, course choice
