Tweetivities – Use of Twitter Walls in Lectures

The use of social media in the lecture theatre can seem daunting. It certainly did for one lecturer. However, taking a first small step towards using social media with a view to using more technology in future lectures resulted in a pedagogically sound, engaging experience for students using Twitter and an easy win for the lecturer. This session will discuss their approach, experiences and feedback from students.

Interactivity without an Interactive White Board

Interactivity with an Interactive White Board (IWB) has been the standard in many of the university buildings. How many have actually been used for this purpose? Using the iPad and Android devices it is now possible to be mobile and interactive in a classroom without the IWB.

This event is part of the LRT Learning Innovation & CELT Seminar Series

Good news! The programme specification documentation to be used in Approval and Periodic Review events from September 2013 has been thoroughly reorganised to make it more logical in structure and to ensure that the University’s key aims for learning and teaching are achieved.

The workshop will look at expectations for the learning, teaching and assessment elements of the new programme specifications and relevant Institutional Codes of Practice, and help you to identify existing or planned practice which will illustrate your learning, teaching and assessment strategy for the programme.

Facilitator: Rachel Forsyth
