Presenters
Sally Pope – Resource Builder
Sally has had a long career at the University of Sydney, she has been responsible for e-Learning in the Faculty of Vet Science (now School of Vet Science) since the mid 2000s, and has seen the move from paper resources, through WebCT to Blackboard and now Canvas. To complement the LMS, her colleagues at Vet Science have developed tools to enable teaching staff to create their own learning resources. One such tool is Resource Builder, which enables staff to build case-based activities.
Tina Barclay - Electronic Registration of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (eOSCE)
Tina works in the Faculty of Health Sciences as their educational design and development manager. Tina will show and tell us about eOSCE an app that has helps unit coordinators provide more feedback on results. It is a good way to get specific, individualised and timely feedback to students. It is a new way that streamlines the marking, the feedback process and saves significant time.
Dorian Peters - Participatory design
Dorian works as a user experience, interface and interaction designer, with a special focus on learning and wellbeing. She advises the Sydney School of Education and Social Work on and coordinates projects relating to digital learning and is a member of the Faculty's Technology and Teaching Innovation Team. Dorian will give us an overview of participatory design and how she and her team use it to co-design with users.
Robert Leggo, Peter Steele, and Fiona Thurn - Lecture Pod Unlimited - Western Sydney University
The Blended Learning Team from the School of Humanities and Communication Arts (HCA) will demonstrate how they assist with the creation of ‘lecture pods’. Lecture pods are short form video materials that replace face-to-face lectures in fully online delivery, and are embedded in the university’s LMS, which is called vUWS. The presentation will be delivered largely in video format, showing the actual processes the team goes through and detail how the team works with academics to assist them in converting their teaching from live lectures to presenting to camera. The team will also showcase several tools created by Peter, that have made a great contribution to sustainable processes in the school for producing large volumes of lecture pod videos.
The HCA team and their academic colleagues in 2015 won the Western Sydney University Learning and Teaching Award for Excellence in Teaching.
