TEEEFest 2017 is a stimulating and inspiring series of talks, practical sessions and discussions relating to technology-enhanced education and e-learning. The festival takes place from Tuesday 28 March – Friday 7 April and is hosted by the School of Human and Health Sciences TEEE Group (Technology Enhanced Education and eLearning Group).
Here's a quick summary of the sessions that are running.
- Lecture Capture for Learning - now almost a year into ‘lecture capture’ and the automatic capturing of taught sessions is becoming an established part of University practice. This session aims to stretch knowledge and understanding of some of the feature of the software a little furthe
- Reference management software - get an overview and update on how reference management software (including EndNote and RefWorks, supported by CLS) can save time throughout the research process. This session will explore: new features and software solutions, integration with other University and library services discussed, and the opportunity offered by mobile apps to access and manage your research library on the move.
- Exploring the Flipped Classroom - explore what the flipped classroom approach to teaching is all about, we will be discussing the benefits to students (and staff) and how you may start to use this strategy in your teaching.
- How to design a great reading list - find out how to make your reading lists engaging for students. This will be an interactive classroom based workshop to inspire you as you create your reading lists and will include a refresher on MyReading basics.
- HudStream - explore the various ways in which the Panopto system can be used, beyond simply recording what takes place during a lecture. There are many ways in which it can enhance teaching and learning, including reviewing of usage analytics, recording demonstrations and briefings, preparing micro-lectures, mobile recording beyond the classroom, plus student assessment and feedback. Maybe you already have some of your own ideas? Come along and discuss how to make them happen.
- Monitoring Student Engagement and Progression - explore the range of in-built reports that can be produced from UniLearn and Turnitin to assist with monitoring student engagement and progression.
- Introduction to Mendeley - Mendeley is a popular freemium (free to use but with the opportunity to pay for upgrades) reference management tool, offering linked desktop
- Adding interaction to video - are you using video, or thinking about it, but want the student experience to be more than just ‘sit and watch’? This session demonstrates a new tool that is currently being considered for purchase, which can add questions and other media to pre-recorded video, and provide you with online analytics of participation and responses. It can also be used live in the classroom, promoting interaction in the same way as handheld ‘clicker’ devices, but with the students’ own mobile devices and computers.
