SAMPLE QUOTES - ICHAMPS
@podcastedtech
iTunes | Stitcher | TuneIn
Studying: Synthesising silver nano particles, and molecular machines
iChamps: ‘Our role is as digital innovation and literacy champions, those are not terms you often come across as a student.’
‘Fiona taught us all of the digital literacy skills, documenting what we have been doing on Pathbrite, keeping up a professional image and a
consistent one.’
‘Our first project was called Lab Dog. It was about creating a more engaging platform for the students to learn from.’
On winning over staff: ’One of our longest meetings was an hour and a half. If they’ve used similar apps before hand and it has gone wrong they
are less likely to want to jump in.’
‘Rather than just talking to people about the technology, it’s ten times better to show people first hand.’
‘If you put in a bit of effort it can really pay off - especially for the students.’
‘There’s been other students at conferences that we’ve been to. There was a student panel at the JISC conference. Although they do similar things,
it’s still quite different.’
‘We are treated equally with the staff that we work with. We get a lot of respect from them and they encourage our ideas.’
‘Fiona as a mentor is just amazing because she does embrace every idea that we have.’
‘Our digital skills that we’ve learnt have already been so applicable even before we’ve gone on to an actual job.’
‘Our Pathbrite portfolios give a direct representation of all the work that we’ve done.’
‘We’ve talked to people at conferences; we’ve got more comfortable doing it - that’s something that we’ve learnt without meaning to.’
‘In terms of chemistry we’ve just started our projects so going to be quite busy; we get to go abroad or in industry.’
‘We want to roll out digital badges for everyone at Uni.’ We are looking at how to evidence all these great things so they can show their employer.’
SAMPLE QUOTES - STEPHAN CASPAR
@podcastedtech
iTunes | Stitcher | TuneIn
If you have an idea and you want to create some resource around that
then I’ve got a team who will help you.
The BBC and HE have been very similar. Change happens very slowly.
In FE it’s much more agile.
FE is always being squeezed; there is a resourcefulness that people
have when that starts to happen.
In many ways I’ve found the most innovative teachers have been the
ones in FE.
The people that I’ve met who are real go-getters in HE have come from
an FE background.
You learn to travel at speed and then when you arrive in HE…it’s a little
bit slower.
Many people phone me up and say Stephan I want a video. We have a
conversation about pedagogy and I send them away with a group
flipchart activity.
It’s very important to give teaching and learning the same status that
research has.
I really want people to not just consume content, but create content as
well.
I want students to be reflective practitioners
In the end what I’m trying to do is get away from twelve lectures and an
exam
Blended learning - it takes some time. You reap the benefits in the
future but you have to get really stuck in. That’s sometimes a hard sell,
but students from FE have an expectation. They want to be co-
creators. That’s the driver for change as well.
On H5P ‘It’s a bit of open source kit from Norway. I’ve seen it used in
really sophisticated ways’
I’m trying to find innovative practices in HE…there are really great
pools of it, but it’s more consistent in FE.
In HE the same drivers aren’t quite there so it’s really about the heads
of subjects being passionate about it.
Lots of people are using SLACK
Podcasting for academics: Go into the lab or take us on the field trip.
Lesson capture is the number 1 thing students ask for but unfortunately
the number of play backs isn't great. We are competing against so
much.’
I don’t see it is as any different to me making a video for the BBC. It’s
about viewing figures and conversations which come out of it.
Measurement: It’s going to be really hard with the Teaching Excellence
Framework
I often say to lecturers when they say well where shall i put my content
- well poll your students and find out where they are. Snapchat?
Facebook?
