Exploring a different world

1 way that you know smartphones have been used to enhance learning

Activity 1 - Record

1. Give it a short title – something sensational!2. What app (or type of app)?3. Who used it (e.g. tutor, student, group, employer…)4. What did they do?5. Why?

Second guess your partner’s idea

Activity 2 - Inspire

1. Listen to the short sensational title2. Guess who used it (e.g. tutor, student, group, employer…)3. Guess what they did4. Together – explain why this was a good idea5. What app could they have used?

Activity 3 – Agony Aunts!

Problem 1Student: I travel to Uni on the train – nearly an hour each way. 2 days a week I have a lecture at each end of the day and a big empty gap in the middle.I never seem to have the right notes with me.I have been asked to keep a reflective blog on a forthcoming module.

Problem 2Tutor: I am expected to mark my student’s assignments in 3 weeks and return them with useful feedback.I want to make my lectures more interactive. I’d really like to move to a Flipped Classroom approach.I co-teach one module with two other tutors. The students have complained about our inconsistency – how can we do more to show we’re joined up?I can’t find enough time to attend CPD events.
