Upcoming workshops – January 2021

CTIL are in the process of developing a new suite of workshops for the start of Semester 2; these are being developed in light of feedback we have had via Digital Champions, the Student pulse survey and other channels.

Unless otherwise noted,  all sessions will be in named Collaborate  rooms in the eLearning Resources for Staff Organisation. 

Making your module template work for you

A short (30 minute) session looking at the structure of the module templates, and why students find it useful to have the content structured. The module template is a framework – not a straitjacket, allowing you to do what you do best, design the learning journey. 
  • Monday January 11th 10:00-10:30 and 14:00-14:30
  • Monday January 18th 10:00-10:30 and 14:00-14:30

No booking required.  

Blend your Module again

In Blend your Module, we’ll be looking at the ways you can structure your module resources to support and engage your students.
You’ll have looked at the “Blend your Module” resources, and the session will cover the practicalities of getting your ideas into reality. We won’t be covering the technical “how to” – but we can point you to appropriate resources, when you have decided on the learning journey you’ll be creating.
Come alone, or come with a colleague you’ll be teaching with.
Sessions are 2 hours long. 
  • Tuesday January 12th 14:00-16:00
  • Thursday January 21st 14:00-16:00
  • Monday January 25th 14:30 – 16:30

Induction activities

An overview of induction activities that have been used in Education and Social Work very effectively, as well as ideas for other activities that have worked for others. This session explores how to support students by building in technical and online learning orientation activities that works as a student induction. The advantage of deploying a few key tools is that an online induction event can be created without technical or technological expertise that does not take long to implement and be easily reused for subsequent cohorts.  This session will be hands on, and active! Come and find out ways to get your students engaged from the start! 

Date: Wednesday, 13 January – 10:05 – 11:15
