Ongoing ADF project on video feedback
In one example, 50% of students registered on the module viewed the feedback within 24 hours
Based on JISC funded ASSET project (http://www.reading.ac.uk/web/FILES/asset/ASSET_final_report.pdf)

Investigating the impact of tablet devices on study behaviour
“Revolutionary, this has changed the way I approach a class, I feel totally prepared as, I get the lecture slides without having to print them, take notes , record, reference and if necessary look things up, all in the palm of my hand... WOW”
“Participants showed significant increases in use of podcasts during the trial period.”

Lecture capture with Adobe Connect Pro• David T: why does it stop
potassium?• maria: how does it block the
channel? with a molecule or via a protein
• shipoopi: whats a hilock ? • xxx: are ipsp's used to prevent
unwanted ap's occurring spontaneously or just when an ap is occurring and needs to be stopped?
“91% of students like having live ‘chat’ in lectures”
“98% of students find recorded lectures useful”

“There was a significant increase in the number of students who used Twitter for educational purposes.”
Social media for learning
“The majority of Twitter users accessed resources using a Smartphone at least once a day.”

Podcasts from lectures and research seminars
Aims:
1. To increase availability of lecture podcasts
2. To evaluate use and effectiveness of podcasts for student learning
3. To produce a repository of research seminar podcasts for the bioscience community
4. To investigate value of research seminar podcasts in the curriculum
Comment from student: “I think this is a brilliant idea, and would find it extremely interesting to listen to research seminars via a podcast. I already listen to podcasts from Harvard, and find them very interesting.”

Anatomy Podcasts and Screencasts:Competition for the textbook...?
Alternative resources for learning anatomy in a medium familiar to the students
- Podcasts downloadable to mp3 players
- Screencasts available via VLE for PC viewing and also produced in iPhone format
Questions:
1) Effect on assessment; 2) Usage statistics and 3) Effect on student learning experience
Trialled this coming semester...........................if successful looking in to producing Smart phone App!!!
