Checking out digital engineering lab in @labster & @FeedbackFruits integration into Teams @Bett_show, but most excited by the screens with Giraffe heads...

The photo certainly makes it look like we enjoyed it 😉. I think someone mentioned in last year over 200,000 submissions on Gradescope at UoL (and that’s before going into current big assessment period... ).
#ICYMI | @Dunc76 from @UniversityLeeds shared his positive experience of Gradescope: “We were quite pleasantly surprised by the way that the rubrics work, the way we can have multiple markers, the user-friendliness of it. It worked.” Watch Now: bit.ly/3o9jRh4

Closing slide from @TansyJtweets Keynote for #SEC2021 a list of things to improve in online teaching. I agree. engagement, social presence, interactive breakout groups are by far the hardest to deliver well in my own experience but very important. Technology meets pedagogy.

Right, I know what @BEonthetoilet thinks it shouldn’t be, but what about the rest. @TalentLeeds because you can get the Leeds EPS perspective
How do you refer to learning and teaching that takes place with learner and teacher in the same physical place, such as a lecture in a traditional lecture theatre or seminar in a classroom?

Pretty chuffed. Managed to deliver my first online lecture yesterday incorporating a Top Hat quiz. Great Success!

I've been chatting to some colleagues about student engagement in the blended classroom. There are some understandable worries about participation in online engagements. So I thought I would throw together this thread with some thoughts, advice, and tips. [thread]

I have to say this out loud. Making a screencast in PowerPoint is now a magical thing. You can annotate, capture camera & audio. You can edit as you need & it’s easy! The edit bit in our house is handy as we’ve barking, toast alarms, singing & host of audio gold to navigate.

Someone has once again burnt toast in our house and set fire alarm off. This time as I started talking to 50+ people at today’s @TalentLeeds session 😂 #burnttoast2
