A searchable practical and pedagogic guide with case studies and visual walkthroughs

Alignment with York Pedagogy

Programme-level thinkingSummative and formative

assessmentStudent work

Staff-student contact


Existing support resources ‘pre-handbook’

Mix of how-to guides, pedagogical advice and case studies in a searchable index on the VLE.

Difficult to follow and difficult to find a ‘way in’ to embedding tech into existing teaching practice.

Were staff actually using them?


Existing support resources ‘pre-handbook’

What we learntGave us chance to evaluate the tools we were recommending.

Mapping and adapting existing support resources alerted us to gaps that needed filling.

Able to try out different tools and create accessible learning materials in different formats – Visme, PowToon, Google docs for guides.

A resource we can draw on in articles, newsletters, workshops etc. http://bit.ly/ytelhb
