Daniel Clark is the Head of Technology Enhanced Learning at the University of Kent and a PhD researcher at Lancaster University. In this talk, Daniel draws upon his professional experiences and applies a critical lens to the emergent rhetoric of EdTech in post-pandemic HE. Daniel discusses his recent paper; a critical discourse analysis of sector-orientated literature published in response to the pandemic. Daniel argues that whilst technology may have been the ‘saviour' of HE from the immediate challenges of the pandemic, the opportunistic dialogue that emerged has problematically imbued debate with notions of the pandemic as a catalyst for transformation, opening the door to unprecedented levels of investment into a pervasive and data-driven paradigm of EdTech. Daniel argues that the rhetoric of EdTech is mediatory of neoliberal, libertarian, and consumerist ideologies, and that the portrayal of technology as a wholly beneficial enterprise obscures issues of privacy, ethics, and structural inequality. Talking to Daniel, is Dr Janja Komljenovic, a Senior Lecturer at Lancaster University and the Director of CHERE@LU.

In this inaugural episode, we are hosting Dr Kyungmee Lee. Kyungmee is a scholar of technology-enhanced learning at Lancaster University, and she has recently written two pieces for The Conversation sharing her tips with academics about online teaching. In these unprecedented times of the pandemic, most universities around the world shut their campuses and buildings, and moved their teaching and learning online. However, this is not so easy to do, and designing a proper online course normally takes a year, as well as huge investments in the academic and support teams, as well as in the infrastructure. For a quality teaching and learning experience, it is not possible to simply move the content from a face-to-face environment onto an online space. But many academics were asked to do just that. Kyungmee shares her tips and views on how to cope with such challenges. Kyugnmee is also a co-Director of the Centre for Technology Enhanced Learning. Talking to her is Dr Janja Komljenovic from CHERE@LU.

In this episode, we focus on how to empower learners as researchers by making them specialists on a sub-topic within their discipline. This approach is simple but effective. Start by dividing aspects of the subject you are teaching into sub-topics or research areas. Each student is assigned one of these to pursue as a personal research project throughout the module, compiling a portfolio of their reflections and findings along the way. Their final portfolio submission demonstrate an application of the general content studied (common to all students) to their specific research area (unique to them). Tab Betts talks to Professor Lynne Murphy, who is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Sussex, and Dr. Paolo Oprandi, who is a Senior Learning Technologist at the University of Sussex. Lynne has recently published a book, entitled The Prodigal Tongue, which explores the love-hate relationship between British and American English (https://theprodigaltongue.com). Paolo has recently joined our team in Technology Enhanced Learning at the University of Sussex, after working as an E-learning Developer in IT Services.

This month we turned our focus to simulation delivery formats, and in particular a novel approach described recently. Sunga K, Sandefur B, Asirvatham U, et al. LIVE. DIE. REPEAT: a novel instructional method incorporating recursive objective-based gameplay in an emergency medicine simulation curriculum BMJ Simulation and Technology Enhanced Learning 2016;2:124-126. We were fortunate to be joined by 2 authors of the paper Kharmene Sunga (@Kharmene) is an emergency physician at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where she is also lead for simulation in the ER residency. Daniel Cabrera (@CabreraERDR) is also an emergency physician at Mayo, a social media enthusiast and @smaccteam speaker. Their paper, and original blog post, challenges our traditional approach to simulation delivery – often ether a scenario followed by long(ish) debrief, or ‘pause and discuss’ where the scenario is paused at intervals for discussion and then continues on. Using gamification principles, and a fair bit of movie watching – Kharmene and Daniel have devised a sim format that involves ‘recursive objective based gameplay’ – where participants attempt to reach higher stages in the ‘game’ but have to repeat the level if they die. Seen from an educational theory perspective – this is deliberate practice in action. It’s a fast paced and engaging format, and provides a chance to practice again after a short and directive debrief. Inspired by the idea of forgoing some of the long debrief after a scenario in favour of a chance for participants to practice, I’ve adapted the principle to our final year student sims, which have been similarly well received. Comments and other ideas for adaption welcome. vb

Seminar Date: March 29, 2016 Seminar Time: 1:00pm Location: Streamed Online from LIB 161B AbstractThe ability to communicate in real time (synchronous) through media such as text, audio, and video, can enhance the online learning experience by providing dynamic opportunities for social connection, collaborative problem solving, and collective reflection. However, issues related to synchronous communication include scheduling conflicts, technical support, and the perception that it is extra or busy work. In this session, we will share strategies to incorporate synchronous elements that enhance engagement and learning within online courses for instructors and students. Concrete examples of applying these synchronous strategies will be shared by an instructor.PresentersBernardo Ramirez MDAssociate Professor Department of Health Management and Informatics College of Health and Public Affairs University of Central Florida Bernardo Ramirez is an Associate Professor as well as the director of the Executive Health Services Administration and Global Health Initiatives programs for the Department of Health Management and Informatics at UCF.
