041 Title: Brian may do this!
Videos of performances, e.g. guitar playing. Close ups showing fingering with audio made by music students for other students used as a self-assessment tool. By videoing several performances they can monitor their progress and compare techniques and to help them improve. The video pieces could be turned into an educational podcast.
Some questions: So, students record their own performance and reflect on their progress? I suppose this could be applied to various 'performances' - eg lab procedures, clinical procedures, etc? It would be good to hear more about this if this is something you are actually doing.
042 Title: U-Move!
Podcast describing different stages of enrolment, i.e. "Where do I go next?", "Where is my timetable?"
Made by Marketing for new and returning students and displayed on plasma screens throughout enrolment days. Reduces stress for staff through the provision of better signposting.
Some questions: Is this a rolling programme of video clips or is there a way of students selecting different clips? Is there any way a similar thing might work with mobile devices (iPods/MP3 players, PDAs, etc).
043 Title: Collaborative Problem Solving
Recording a role play for Business courses using blended delivery. Made by students for students. Students prepare an exercise for each other on certain scenarios using audio. Students come up with real work issues from their previous or present work experiences.
Some questions: It would be good to hear more about this. What level are the students working at? How did Business students take to making the podcasts?
044 Title: Working with podcasts
Guide for using podcasts made by teachers or learning technologists for students and teachers. A step by step guide.
Some questions: How are these guides delivered? Is this approach useful for delivering guides on other technologies or other things altogether?
045 Title: [no title yet]
Students in groups are given an article and asked to create a podcast that critically analyses it. The approach allows students to support each other in developing critical analysis skills whilst developing an awareness of literature. All students are expected to contribute to the literature review pool.
Some questions:
046 Title: That Was Me that Was
Students record regular self-reviews on course progress which they submit to an audio PDP portfolio. Students submit each podcast and are not allowed to listen until the end of the module.
Some questions: I'm not sure about the last sentence. How about "They are encouraged to review their audio PDP collection periodically." Or is there a particular reason why they shouldn't listen until the end of the module?
047 Title: 2nd year students create podcasts about being a fresher. Finished podcasts are available from the University's website and played during Open Days.
Some questions: Is this something you're doing? What motivates the 2nd year students to do this? Is this something the Students Union might organise? Is this something that any module might do as a way of engaging 'next year's cohort'?
048 Title: Go out and find podcasts
Students are asked to find podcasts created by professional organisations relevant to their subject area.
Some questions: I presume having found podcasts they are then invited to review or evaluate these? Or perhaps podcasts found by students could be added to a module podcast feed?
049 Title: Summer Breaks
Podcasts produced by students on placement or reporting on progress in developing an assignment.
Some questions: This relates to ideas for digital storytelling in which media can be gathered and assembled later into a reflective story of their experience. I think audio is a good medium to support reflection like this as talking and reflection can both be quite exploratory activities.
050 Title: Peer motivation
Students are tasked with producing motivational video podcasts - their words of wisdom - in order to complete a set of tasks. [can't read the rest]
Some questions: Audio is a good medium for encouraging motivation because of the voice. Is video important to this idea? What was the rest of this idea?
144 Title: Vice Chancellor's message
A communication tool for the Vice Chancellor and senior management replacing the traditional letter or email.
Some questions: Presumably staff and students will listen to this at their PC rather than subscribing to a VC podcast feed? This isn't an educational podcast.
145 Title: Li-Pod
Library Audio Tour produced by the student inductions team.
Some questions: How do students access this tour? Is it available as a serialised podcast or as a collection of media files that students use on a PDA? Or in another way perhaps? Do these recordings replace or supplement other methods?
