About this workshop
• Opportunity to engage with the ‘Teaching Approaches Menu’ and associated resources to assist academic staff in effective use of these approaches and the technologies that support them
• By the end, delegates will:• understand how and why SHU has
taken a pedagogy-first approach to TEL
• have an awareness of the variety of teaching approaches in use at SHU
• consider refining the resources for their own contexts and frameworks
• 4 faculties; 700+ courses• 34,000+ students; 2,100+ academic staff
• Blackboard Learn and Blackboard Collaborate are key institutional tools• Many other online and physical technologies available
Sheffield Hallam University and TEL
Context
• Teaching often uses safe, familiar methods
• SHU has the technology, and Minimum Expectations for e-learning, but usage can be low
• Desire to transform student experience through: More active and engaging learning More varied teaching approaches Better integration of technology
• National Changing the Learning Landscape (CLL) initiative provides an opportunity for change
• Our project is aim to: raise awareness of the role that technology can play in enabling innovative and
engaging approaches to teaching
• Our objective is to: develop a resource that will assist colleagues in identifying different teaching
approaches and the technologies that can support and facilitate these strategies
About the project
Project approach
• SHU-based – covers practice at SHU
• Grassroots – all academics invited to take part
• Constant refinement – updated from feedback
• Project steering group drawn from across SHU, including: Students’ Union Academics Central and faculty TEL support staff
• Survey Workshops Draft ‘menu’ and materials/case studies
• Follow-up staff and student workshops to generate further information and refinements
Project development
1. Key resources: The ‘Menu’ Worksheet to develop action plan Workshop activities
2. Additional resources: Case studies ‘Top Trumps’
3. Share your feedback with the room
Activity 1 (15 mins):A look at the resources
On your table is a description of a typical teaching issue:
1. As a group, discuss the issue and use the resources on the table to select a teaching approach to address it
2. Identify some technologies that could support the selected approach in addressing the issue
3. Share your ideas with the room
Activity 2 (35 mins):Scenarios
• Workshops: Open to all Tailored for specific groups
• Training faculty TEL staff • ‘Restructuring’ TEL activity
• Promotion through: Blogs Mail-outs Targeting influencers Presentations to course/subject teams SHU-wide and faculty conferences
Internal dissemination
Lessons learned
• Senior support vital to get the ‘non-innovators’ involved
• Local focus helps people see value in project
• Avoid jargon to help get, and keep, people engaged
Next steps
• Expand current ‘Menu’
• Support faculty staff in running workshops
• Workshop on PGCert
• Workshops for other institutions
• Follow-on project – ‘APPETITE’
