About this course
Aim
This is a short (45 minutes) session.
The aim of this seminar is to discuss some alternatives to using chalkboards and whiteboards in your face to face teaching.
There will be an overview of why using alternatives to chalk and whiteboards might offer new learning opportunities, including capturing your presentations and enhancing interactions with students. The primary aim is to demonstrate a range of technologies including presentational software / hardware (including tablet symposiums and interactive pens), as well and new technologies including response systems and Twitter.
Approach
The following principles underpin how we design and develop our face to face staff development workshops and seminars:
- Use a range of different styles
- Adopt an informal approach
- Focus on the participants' needs
- Act as a showcase for the effective use of appropriate technologies
- Contextualise how the workshop fits into our wider staff development programme
- Our role is to facilitate not to lecture
- Showcase case studies and uses from the University of Bath
