Lunched and Learnt

Lunch was eaten (very nice crisps) and things were learnt at today's Lunch and Learn session in Staff Development.

Katrina Dalziel and Lori Havard talked about how they have used a variety of e-learning tools and processes in teaching information literacy skills - storyboarding, clickers, Blackboard, Course Genie

On the subject of storyboarding, it was suggested that using a wiki to facilitate the storyboarding process would be useful for busy academics. An excellent idea Geertje.

Chris Jobling talked about ‘The Blackboard Quest’ - how to encourage students to explore the various features of Blackboard while at the same time getting them to actively review your course materials. You can find his presentation here - http://eehope.swan.ac.uk/dokuwiki/blackboard_quest

Thanks once again to Katrina, Lori and Chris.

The next session is on 13th May and is entitled 'Do Hedgehogs Steal Ice Cream? Embedding Critical Thinking.'
