Raising awareness, developing processes and working with members of staff
Since my last blog post time has been spent raising awareness about the project through attending a range of meetings and letting people know what the project is all about. Where they can find us and informing people about the project blog. We held a lunch and learn session in the Faculty of Humanities with the help of their Learning and Teaching Development Officer. Staff came along during their lunch hour to find out more about the project and how to get involved. In an effort to raise further awareness I have arranged to attend the three Faculties Learning and Teaching Committee meetings and offered drop in sessions at schools and offered to present at school meetings.
The project steering group convened and had a productive meeting. Actions were raised and have been taken forward by the appropriate members of the steering group. As project coordinator a full report was given on the progress of the project and any issues that were being faced.
The mapping process is moving forward an outline has been drawn up this is being converted into a document. We have now met with all the Schools in the University and have a good idea of the processes that take place in each. Part of the project is producing technology supported processes with existing technologies and technologies novel to Keele university, we have projects involving audio feedback, video feedback, the use of grademark through different devices, the use of a optical mark reader and the use of electronic voting technology in lectures.
Please contact m.j.street@phil.keele.ac.uk if you are interested in adopting technology in your assessment and feedback processes. This could be a simple change in working practice or the adoption of a technology not mentioned above.
