Efficiencies and effectiveness fundamentals
» User identity management and single sign on authentication
» Disaster recovery and business continuity planning» Access to cloud based shared services» Underpinned by strategic and operational advice and
guidance» In addition back office systems which improve efficiencies
and effectiveness such as library management, finance, payroll, HR systems etc

What does success look like?
» Teachers have developed some outstanding and innovative e-learning materials where learners use three-dimensional camcorders to record assessments and prepare projects
» Learners use the college’s virtual learning environment extensively to support their studies and to develop their independent learning
» Teachers and students make extensive use of the electronic tracking and monitoring system to promote students’ progress

What does success look like?
» Learners are highly effective independent learners. The measured and skilful use of information and learning technology, with engaging virtual learning environment sites in many subject areas stimulate learners to carry out research outside the classroom.
» Information technology resources are modern and exceptionally well used in many subjects by both lecturers and learners
» Staff monitor and track learners’ progress closely and, using this information, successfully encourage learners to aim for high grades

The following themes were often mentioned as something that HE institutions should keep doing:» Online 24/7 access to as much content as possible» 24/7 library access» Putting as much a possible (lecture notes, slides etc) on
Blackboard, and making it accessible any time any place» Using technology, and embracing new technology services
and resources

Student digital experience tracker 2016
The following themes were often mentioned as something that HE institutions should start doing:» Recording lectures» Better use of VLEs: standardise use by staff, add
presentations, teach students how to use it effectively, and improve access (eg mobile access)
» Improve online services: more online resources/activities, assessment submissions
» Access to better / more computers

Effective Teaching
»Teaching is a complex process, linked to a complex outcome; Learning.
»This makes teaching one of the most difficult things you can attempt to do.
»So what makes it effective?»Let’s consider the context in which current
students are situated within.»Let’s think ‘big picture’

THE JOB MARKET
» 20,000 new tech start up jobs this year.
» A huge trend towards automation
» Thomas Frey (Futurist): Thinks that 2 billion jobs will disappear by 2030
What context are our Learners Learning in?
»An increasingly techno-centric society.»An increasingly digital world, complete with
a range of digital identities.»An increasing reliance on digital capabilities
and digital modes of working.»A tend towards a world of automation, where
creativity and social intelligence wins.

Ideas of Effectiveness
»Teaching that equips students with ability to make sense of and work within a super complex society (Barnet, 2000).
» Increasing the efficiency of the higher education system and using higher education teaching and learning to meet national economic goals (Skelton, 2005).
»Any teaching that engenders learning in students from the students’ perspective (Elton, 1998).
»A commitment to the continual generation and enhancement of learning opportunities for students (Biggs, 2000)

Effective Teaching: A Working Definition
»Effective teaching is any approach that maximizes the potential for learning in and beyond the classroom.
»So how do we achieve it?
6/21/2016
Recognizing How your Students Learn
»If learning is complex then:› It is an emergent phenomena.› You can’t predict when it is going to happen.› It is a different process for everyone.› What is learned is different from everyone
because of what that learning is connected with.
› What triggers learning is individual and linked to capabilities and preferences.
Knowledge Transfer
A BI I
This is what we often assume happens in the lecture theatre
Information Exchange
A BI I2
A BI I2=/=
In a complex system
Information Exchange
A BI n
A BI n=/=
Where n = number of students in your class.
Dialogue and Teaching
A BI
A BI I2,3,4,5=/=
I2,3,4,5..
A shared understanding is more likely with dialogue. But how?

New Ideas and Perspectives
Maximizing the potential for learning
»Creating spaces in which students can exchange their current perspectives on their learning will make richer learning spaces.
»Creating spaces which maximise routes to participation, will engage more students (e.g. How do you get to the quiet ones?).
»Building routes to participation that utilise students’ current and emerging modes of working will promote access to knowledge e.g. BYOD.
»Spaces that develop digital capabilities and research literacies in the classroom will develop skills that will transcend HE (e.g. bring their digital work into the classroom).
»Technology can facilitate the creation of these spaces.

Learning
Opportunities can be maximised by extending the Learning Environment
Enhance the Extended Learning Environment»Create opportunities for reflection on course
content outside of the classroom.»Create opportunities to integrate new content
with current understanding and learning.»Create opportunities for peer-led and
collaborative learning outside the classroom.»Create opportunities for dialogue and
feedback between tutors and peers.»Support this with a suite of technology (e.g.
VLE’s, Lecture Capture, Flipped Learning, Collaborative Spaces, Social Learning Spaces and anything else that works!)
Effective Learning and Teaching
»Effective Learning and Teaching maximizes the potential for learning in and beyond the classroom by:› Recognising the diversity of learners.› Creates spaces and opportunities that
maximise the potential for sharing learning perspectives.
› Extends the learning environment so that there is a ‘continuum of learning space’ or ‘substrate of learning’ (digital and virtual).
› Aligns with a students desired mode of learning and develops good practice in self-directed learning.
Efficient Learning and Teaching
»Efficiency and effectiveness are linked.»The more productivity (i.e. the more
learning) in the learning environment the more productive the Higher Education system as a whole.
»Getting the students to ‘do the work’ takes the pressure off the lecturer and is also more effective.
»Flipped pedagogies utilise previously created work and also promote dialogic teaching spaces.
»Discovering of efficiency and enhancement through learning analytics and associated interventions.
Summary
»Recognise that Learning (and Teaching) is Complex.
»Build Learning Environments that utilise technology if it promotes opportunities for learning.
»Move on from a one size fits all ideas of what is ‘effective’ and promote discovery and innovation.»That means thinking ‘big picture’.»That means moving on from pushing any one tool
and creating a suite of potential tools that practitioners can choose from.
»That means moving on from pushing any one mode of teaching.
»Let learning lead the discussion, not tools or metrics.

» Jisc support - Lyn Lall» Came out and discussed a range of support software for
tutors and learners. As a group we evaluated a range of software in pairs: skitch, socrative, i-nigma, Edmodo, quizlet
» We evaluated software in teams of two » All software was good – however it became clear » EDMODO was the stand out for us
Digital literacy 556/21/2016
Training & Education Software
» Edmodo » Initially we thought Edmodo as a distance learning support.» Make resources available when not in college, you can
utilize full colour documents, add web links, video clips etc.» I had to research and use Edmodo – It’s massive!» The free version has a massive array of features.

Tutor role» Learn how to use: » Set up courses » Add learners» Posts» Look at what learner page
looks like » Have good working
knowledge of Edmodo
Learner role » Develop some basic it
skills, If the use face book should be ok on Edmodo
» Use Edmodo

Tutors knowledge
Problems getting to grips with Edmodo, when I am the tutor setting courses.
» Don’t know what learners see – Looks different than my screen, phone version & tablet also looks slightly different
» Had to set up a test account so I could see, also got colleagues to join to learn what happened for Tutor and learners

» Connect More For me » Ability to message learners
individually or as a group.» Put up up to date
information, links and videos
For Learners » Messaging me/each other» Add information they find
useful. Handouts are available if they miss a session.
» And finally once we started the on the STLS course a learner sent me a message which I thought was great
» And so it begins…..» A journey for me and the learners has begun
