11:30 - 12:30 Martina Doolan (University of Hertfordshire): Audio Supported Enhanced Learning

The ASEL project (www.aselproject.wordpress.com ) is funded by the JISC

under the Users and Innovation programme phase 2. ASEL is a 15-month

investigation which commenced January 2008 involving the Universities of

Bradford and Hertfordshire. It is examining the use of audio by tutors and

students using various technologies such as Ning, blogs and wikis, to

support, enhance and personalise the learner experience in terms of

self-reflection, assessment and collaborative learning.

 

1:30 - 2:30 100 ideas for Podcasting, facilitated by Andrew Middleton (this quickly became 200 ideas!)

100 Ideas for Educational Podcasting - the book!

 

The aim of this session was to generate 100 ideas for educational podcasts. These ideas will be published in a book by the end of the year targeted at the UK FE and HE community. It is expected that you will come with at least 2 great ideas of how podcasting is already being used and, once we have captured these, we will generate further ideas through creativity activities to reach our target of 100 transferable ideas! Later, a number of these scenarios will be developed further as implemented case studies. Together the scenarios and case studies will demonstrate the versatility and benefits of the medium to educators across the curriculum.

Workshop 2 - Practical Podcasting (it's easier than you think!)

• Alan Carr (acarr@midchesh.ac.uk) is an ILT trainer and educational podcasting practitioner at Mid-Cheshire College. He also hosts his own music podcast. Producing a podcast doesn't have to be difficult. Alan will do just that in front of your own eyes - maybe you will leave with a firm intention to have a go yourself. To encourage this, Alan will give you a FREE podcasting resource CD - full of tutorials, examples, software etc. It's easier than you think!

Workshop 3 - The student experience.

• Students from 3 universities will share their experiences of using podcasts in their studies. This is a forum to discuss the place of podcasts to enhance teaching and learning and will have the advantage of having the student perspective throughout the session.
