Lecture capture in your toolkit: building digital media into course design
09:45 - 10:25
Newton Lecture Theatre 2
Dr Clive Young leads the E-Learning Advisory Team at University College London. The team
support the adoption of the UCL learning and teaching and e-learning strategies across four
Schools and numerous departments.
Clive worked for many years in consultant, management, lecturer and developer roles, mainly
at research-led universities including UCL, Imperial
College London, University of St Andrews and
UMIST, Manchester. He is currently an associate
lecturer at the Open University on the MA in Online
and Distance Education.
He has instigated and led a range institutional,
national and international projects exploring the
potential and practicalities of technological and
organisational change and, through these, has
developed a wider academic profile. He speaks
regularly at UK and European conferences and
events and worked for several years as an expert
external evaluator for the European Commission.
Clive has established a profile in media pedagogy starting with the JISC Click and Go Video
project though the European projects VideoAktiv and REC:all which began to analyse
pedagogic frameworks for the emerging video-based technologies. He was a founder member
of UK-Dutch Stream Team (JISC-SURF) expert group and the ViTAL UK community for
educational video.
Session outline
Once confined to a few teaching enthusiasts and specific disciplines, the use of video and
interactive media has become a mainstream part of UCL’s academic repertoire. The
introduction of lecture capture eight years ago played a major part if this journey. This
session will explore four interlocking themes, combining UCL’s practical experience and
evidence from the literature:
Lecture capture has now become part of many students’ study processes. Students
consistently report that video content assists their learning, either as a revision tool
or as a different way of engaging with material. Student demand at UCL has largely
driven the growth of lecture capture and has now initiated other media services.
More broadly, the success of Khan Academy, Lynda.com and video-based MOOCs
has helped digital video become recognised as a means to support high-quality
academic learning. Key to this is integration with the virtual learning environment,
enabling any media to be enhanced by other online resources and support.
As a result we are seeing a growing use of media to change the way we design
programmes and notions such as ‘flipping’ are becoming commonplace. To aid this
UCL has pioneered a rapid-development module design approach that embeds
media and digital approaches.
Media itself has become easier and cheaper to produce, edit, store and deliver,
enabling both our academics and students to become producers. Supporting staff
and (increasingly) student media production and facilitating media-based
assessment is our current challenge.
This will be a practical, practitioner-focussed presentation, highlighting approaches to using
digital media that busy academics can use to improve learning and teaching, with ample
opportunity for Q&A.

Successfully deploying ePortfolio on NOW, for the purpose of the personalisation and employability agenda
Newton Lecture Theatre 3
Jane Scivier, Senior lecturer, Nottingham Business School
Phil King, Senior Lecturer, Nottingham Business School
Barry Gregory, Elearning Specialist, Centre for Academic Development and Quality
This session considers how the ePortfolio tool in NOW has been successfully deployed to support the
Business School’s personalisation and employability agenda. The session will also explore how the
deployment of the tool has been moved from a small scale pilot with sixty students to Business School
wide utilisation.
General principles to consider when putting content online Newton
Lecture Theatre 6
Chris Coffey, Senior Lecturer, Architecture Design and the Built Environment
Andrew Doig, Senior Programme Development Manager, Wiley (Publishing)
This is a collaborative presentation between the course team for the MSc Construction Project
Management and Wiley, who are partners in the development of this online distance learning course.
This session will introduce the design and delivery principles for the online modules developed and will
include a demonstration of one of the modules in the Engage VLE, which is providing the platform for this
partnership delivery. We will also share student feedback on the running of its early modules. As well as
curriculum design challenges, we will look at some key considerations and top tips for successful online
course design and delivery.
Curriculum Refresh and ‘Making the most of NOW’ – a case study from the Green Academy
Newton Lecture Theatre 7
Jessica Willats, Education for Sustainable Development Officer, Green Academy
Aldilla Dharmasasmita, Academic Associate, Green Academy
In this session, The Green Academy will demonstrate innovative ways of making NOW more exciting. The
session can also act as inspiration for those designing the content of an online module, drawing from the
knowledge and experience that the Green Academy Team have gained by running The Sustainability in
Practice (SiP) Certificate, utilising almost every tool that NOW has to offer since 2013. A variety of
exciting interactive features will be showcased that can be easily copied to liven up any learning room.
The Green Academy want to share their experience with ‘Making the Most of NOW’ and utilising features
such as quizzes, groups, videos, embedded webpages, invisible tables - to name just a few.
During the session, we will also share the variety of techniques used in the Education for Sustainable
Development (ESD) Future Thinking Learning Room to really push the limits within NOW in creating this
unique resource. Additionally, this learning room will be used to demonstrate how colleagues can use its
resources during the Curriculum Refresh process, particularly points F1-F7 of the framework.

Technological interventions make fieldwork more efficient, accurate, and collaborative
Newton Lecture Theatre 3
Rachel Stubbington, Senior Lecturer, School of Science and Technology
First year Biosciences students participate in a field-based activity in which they learn to identify trees using
winter features such as bark and buds. Twenty trees around our leafy campus are labelled, and students dash
from one to the next, using a custom-made ‘key’ (identification guide) to work out the species and to note useful
features that enabled its identification. In previous years, students have been laden with multiple paper
handouts that have proven tricky to manipulate.
This year, the main identification key was replaced by an e-version: a pdf with hyperlinks used on an Android
tablet. These e-keys were user friendly and preferable to the old paper version. Secondly, in previous years,
students have returned to a classroom to draw the useful identification features, an exercise which was always
completed grudgingly. This year, students took photos of the useful features and uploaded these to a Wikispace.
Photos captured observations with greater accuracy and the collaborative online space both facilitated sharing
and provided a permanent resource for future reference.

Teaching and Sharing: Twitter and Connected Classes #CClasses
Newton Lecture Theatre 3
Assunta Del Buono, Senior Lecturer, Institute of Education
Lind Marchant, Employability Coordinator, Employability
How do you engage/encourage students to network and connect? Connected Classes is about finding ways to
teach and learn, by using Twitter for reactive note taking and short form conversations.
Assunta and Linda have been delivering Connected Classes in photography as part of a research project with
thirteen other universities (in the UK, USA, New Zealand and Egypt). The idea of the classes is to enable students
to learn with and through the use of the digital environment.
This session will outline the process of delivering the classes – which covers four areas: generating content,
making and sharing notes via twitter, inviting others to join in the conversation, and then consolidation of
learning through discussion of process, content and shared material.
Assunta’s approach has been centered around critical thinking, whilst Linda has used the classes for
employability teaching. They will share their experiences of exploring a new way of teaching and learning.

Course redevelopment: How to design a course for delivery online
Newton Lecture Theatre 6
Alex Hiller, Senior Lecturer , Nottingham Business School
Andrew Doig, Senior Programme Development Manager, Wiley
Drawing on NTU’s recent course development work with Wiley, this session will explore some of the main consider-
ations in designing a course for online provision. A number of issues will be explored including adapting course
structures to the online context, the development of teaching and learning strategies, assessment design and de-
velopment processes. Particular reference will be made to the development of the online MBA, with a focus on
some of the key challenges experienced by the course team and pitfalls to avoid. The session will be jointly deliv-
ered by representatives from Nottingham Business School and Wiley.
Building the Digital Framework into the Curriculum
Newton Lecture Theatre 5
Udaramati Pope, Academic Practice Consultant, Centre for Professional Learning and Development
Pete Bowcott, Senior Lecturer, Art and Design
Emmanuel Manu, Senior Lecturer, Art Design and the Built Environment
Elaine Swift, Digital Practice Manager, Centre of Professional Learning and Development
The NTU Digital Framework describes a range of digital skills and competencies that are relevant for both staff and
students in supporting NTU to become a 21st Century University. This session briefly outlines the Digital Framework
in the context of Curriculum Refresh and then introduces academic colleagues who have used the Framework with-
in their own curriculum design.
The session will also provide an opportunity for staff to learn more about the support available to them through
NOW or via CPLD’s Digital Practice team.

14:00 - 14:45
Creating engaging threshold concept videos for independent study
Newton Lecture Theatre 3
David Hindley, Senior Lecturer, School of Science and Technology
Zuzanna Hucki, Senior Lecturer School of Science and Technology
A common challenge, in teaching within Science and Technology, is the need to ensure all students are familiar with key “threshold” concepts, upon which subsequent learning is built. Students vary in the extent to which they need support with these, so a personalised approach is required, as far as possible. It is also time-consuming and can be frustrating for academics to have to re-visit these key ideas at different points throughout a course. To respond to this challenge, four members of SST have explored the use of different software tools to produce short single-concept videos for students to access when they need. This session will present the videos produced, discuss what was involved and provide recommendations for doing similar yourself.
NTU Student Dashboard: recent changes & next steps
Newton Lecture Theatre 6
Ed Foster, Student Engagement Manager, Centre for Academic Development Quality
Dr Rebecca Edwards, ABLE Project Coordinator, Centre for Academic Development Quality
There have been some big changes to the Dashboard this year. More importantly our focus has moved from developing the Dashboard as an information source to developing a resource that is genuinely useful for staff and students. This year we are conducting a series of pilot studies to test and develop new functions.
This session will provide colleagues with information about the latest research about the relationship between engagement measured in the Dashboard and both progression and attainment. We will update colleagues about the most recent changes, introduce the pilots and give you an opportunity to shape future developments.
Coming soon to NOW at NTU
Newton Lecture Theatre 7
Samuel Tanner, VLE Business Manager, Centre for Academic Development and Quality
During the summer the university undertook a VLE review that concluded, given improvements to the
user experience and the way training and support are offered, we have the right platform to meet the
needs of our students and academics. This session follows on from D2L's presentation, with an
opportunity to learn about what changes are coming to NOW, when these are happening, and allowing
you to offer your opinion and feedback to help drive these changes. After an introduction to the platform
plan for the current academic year you will be shown a number of options from D2L's design team for the
new NOW home page and be asked to input into the next stage of development. The session will end with
a discussion about how training and support is offered for the VLE and how you would like this to be
improved to ensure you know what the VLE can do and how to take advantage of this to improve your
practice. This session is an opportunity to get involved with shaping the next stage of the learning
environment to ensure it is fit-for-purpose.

14:50 - 15:35
1 of 2 short session
Facilitating an online, peer-supported student group using Yammer
Newton Lecture Theatre 3
Matthew Homewood, Head of Department/LTC, Nottingham Law School
A collaborative project designed to support undergraduates studying a foundation of law
module. A public Yammer group was developed to provide a study support environment for
some 600 students with a focus upon peer led academic and skills support.
The project developed from a student query looking at how additional study support could be
provided to students on a challenging undergraduate module. The module leader and the
student concerned explored the feasibility of providing such support through more ‘traditional’
means before looking towards technology. A number of alternatives were considered before
Yammer was decided upon.
The Yammer group was developed by the module leader and the student and was then
launched with awareness-raising through emails, lecture ‘shout-outs’, embedding into NOW,
Twitter and a student-led bespoke video. Group membership quickly grew to almost 100 in a
few weeks, with more students also following the feed from outside the group. Students posed
questions, answered queries and clarified their understanding with minimal staff involvement.
The group provided an additional means to provide students with study support and to engage
in their studies. It also provided an important space for belonging in breaking down seminar
class barriers and creating a space for all students to discuss academic matters regardless of
study pathway.
2 of 2 short session
Introduction of Virtual Reality as a teaching tool
Newton Lecture Theatre 3
James Hind, Senior Lecturer, School of Science and Technology
The session will introduce a Virtual Reality technology used to visualise Mathematical functions.
James will speak about how he has used the technology to support classes at level four,
teaching of three dimensional graphing in a module on data analysis, and at level six, allowing
student to view and edit mathematically generated surfaces; these surfaces were then 3D
printed to allow students to keep a copy of their creations.
The session will briefly address the portability of the tool to other disciplines and highlight some
of the barriers to engagement observed in the Maths cohort.

Don’t touch that dial: Building an online Health and Safety workshop induction in
NOW
Newton Lecture Theatre 6
Kerry Truman, Senior Technician, Architecture Design and the Built Environment
The School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment workshop and laboratory facilities offer yearly inductions to students across the full portfolio of courses. With the increase in student population in recent years, delivering the practical workshop induction to those students requiring access to the facility has become a time-sensitive process. Students need to pass the induction before any project work can be undertaken and delays can therefore have a negative impact upon workshop access.
In this session we will look at an online learning approach, developed within NOW, as an alternative to face-to-face delivery of the workshop induction to large student cohorts. By offering blended video content alongside competency based elements available within NOW and a greater ability to track and assess student progress, we will discuss qualitative and quantitative data that highlights increased levels of student engagement with both workshop staff and the practical facilities.
Success for all: The value of pre-submission checklists in NOW
Newton Lecture Theatre 7
Stuart Jolly, Senior Lecturer, School of Science and Technology
Esther Akanya, Education Developer, Centre of Academic Development and Quality
Do your students lose unnecessary marks because of careless mistakes in their work?
This session will demonstrate a conditional checklist in NOW, which can be used as a last-minute self-check for students at the point of submission to help avoid mistakes which might reduce coursework marks. The checklist-which prompts students to address basic requirements such as referencing and formatting will be considered in the context of other formative and assessment literacy support for students leading up to the point of submission. A facilitated discussion will guide participants to reflect on ways in which such support can potentially contribute towards reducing attainment gaps on their course.
3:40 - 4:30pm
Discuss your needs and ideas and try technologies out in the Newton Forum Level 1 area
The final session provides a chance to speak to session presenters and try out some of the tools and techniques they have been using. Members of the Elearning Development team will be on-hand with ideas and advice and to discuss needs and opportunities in your area of practice.
