071 Title: Therapeutic Moment
Case-based progressions ??? medical counselling students on placement, work-based learning for each other. Capture affective dimension of interaction with clients. Notice transient emotions and describe or role play in the podcast. The benefits include promoting reflective practice and sensitivity.
Some questions: My reading of this is that medical students, whilst on placement, notice significant moments (i.e. transient emotions (is that a technical term?)) in their interactions with their patients. On return to college they set up and record role plays to re-enact these. The recordings then become the subject of further discussion amongst their peers. A digital storytelling technique is being used by students at Leeds University that serves a similar purpose.
072 Title: Recap and Remember
Made by tutors for students, these recordings of key points are recorded soon after a lecture, lasting about 5 minutes. The main benefits include the opportunity to review key points as a revision aid.
Some questions: This 'review' or 'revision' approach complements the preview or prevision approaches that have been mentioned so far. The benefit here would seem to be that the lecturer could reflect upon questions raised by students in the lecture perhaps?
073 Title: Peer Orientation
Made by students for next year's students, they give programme advice at the start of term. The main benefits include reflection by the student producers on their experience and new students hear ideas from their peer mentors, not just tutors.
Some questions: I think this is something that audio can usefully do that is meaningfully hard to achieve in any other way. Presumably the recordings are submitted as part of a module evaluation exercise perhaps?
074 Title: Harvard or Bust (Referencing)
Produced by Learning Resources teams for students, the podcast gives instructions on how to reference a book. Student follows instructions with the book in front of them.
Some questions: Is this a video podcast? I think there are various information literacy opportunities with podcasting. Notoriously info lit skill development is difficult due to timing. Having such media learning objects means that students can access them as they need them or in response to timely tutor feedback.
075 Title: Peer Critique
Students and teachers critique work. This would be appealing to auditory learners.
Some questions: There are many approaches to audio feedback. In this idea I sense that students and teachers are working together in critiquing work and the conversation is recorded? Would they be reviewing another student's work or would it be the student involved in the conversation?
076 Title: Eastenders and Me
Media assignment in the form of a serial podcast, which can be completed as and when, to contribute towards a final assessment mark and the information translates into a form and is submitted by email.
Some questions: What form does the assignment take? By 'media assignment' do you mean an assignment for Media students studying soaps? Or is this idea more about creating a media serial around any discipline, e.g. an ongoing dramatisation to support Problem Based Learning? Perhaps we have 2 ideas here!
077 Title: 3Rs (Read, Research, Relate)
Research skills podcast made by the lecturer for Work-based Learners.
Some questions: Is this a series of tutorials relating to research methods? Can you fill this out further?
078 Title: Fame
Drama students use video to produce an emotional scene. Tutor can give audio feedback and students can listen anywhere.
Some questions: Presumably the drama students could produce/submit any kind of scene for tutor feedback? Is there any reason why this benefits from being done asynchronously and why the tutor's feedback is given using audio in preference to other techniques?
079 Title: Ask the Experts
A demonstration podcast or vodcast showing expert practioners. For example, student nurses can watch how a task is carried out before they do it themselves. The benefits to this approach include building learner confidence and providing mobile access to the resources.
Some questions:
080 Title: Looking Sharp
How are you at interviews? Learners practice their interview skills with 2 or 3 students asking questions while another responds. Students can listen and see where improvements can be made.
Some questions: So, just to be clear, this is about students recording their responses to typical interview questions that are posed by other students? The recordings are presumably for the personal use of the interviewee who reflects on their performance? Or do you see a way that the 'casting' of the responses might be beneficial?
153 Title: Narcissus and Echo
Made by students for themselves and each other, students reflect on their own progress throughout the year and then listen back at the end to see the changes in their development. The recordings are made regularly and could be particularly useful to those that have a speaking element as part of their course.
Some questions: Several people have noted the value of audio as a reflective medium.
154 Title: [no title yet]
Students record a review of resources used in independent study sessions. This could be extended to include group discussions on resources.
Some questions: Audio is a good medium for reviewing resources especially in the first year at university when students are developing their awareness of materials and how to evaluate them.
