Two techniques to help teachers make the most of technology

By Jez on October 16, 2009

Someone recently asked me a very interesting question: what two techniques would you use to enable academic staff to make the most of new technology for teaching?

A number of thoughts ran through my mind at this point:

Ooh, interesting question… Hmm, that depends… That sounds like a blog post in the making… What! Only two?!

But I like the idea [...]

Reader poll: how do you follow blogs?

By Jez on October 2, 2009

I have several reasons for writing this post. Chief among them is curiosity: I like pulling the universe to bits and poking it to see what happens, and I’m genuinely interested in finding out how readers of this blog actually keep up to date with the blogosphere. Second, I’ve spent a lot of time in [...]

Teaching with social media: engaging the audience

By Jez on April 1, 2009

Do you like having an audience? I know I do: that’s at least part of the reason I’m writing this blog post.

The social web has greatly lowered the barrier to entry for those of us who want an online presence, and given us the greatest possible chance of reaching an appreciative audience through, for example, [...]

Introduction to SLC 2.0: Part II

By Jez on September 10, 2008

In hindsight, my previous post on the subject of SLC 2.0 seems rather vague. It’s definitely a worthwhile description of the motivation behind the project (or at least my motivation) but it doesn’t really describe what we’re actually doing. I’ll seek to remedy that a little with this, part II of my introduction to SLC [...]

Introduction to SLC 2.0: Part I

By Jez on September 3, 2008

I’ve recently become involved in a new project, under the University of Sheffield’s SeeChange initiative, going by the name of “Student Learning Community 2.0”. What’s this all about? Well, it’s to do with using social networking and other Web 2.0 ideas to support student learning at the university, but that sounds more fuzzily defined to me every time I read it. I’ll be using the rest of this post to clarify what the purpose looks like from my perspective at the very outset of the project.
