Lightning presentations


Designed to stimulate debate, discussion and dialogue – find out more about the six lightning presentations below.

6. Video feedback – say it with some feeling!


The use of video feedback for Social Work students has been a positive addition to how we convey students’ academic progress on the course. In response to distrust in the marking process, we are trying to be more transparent.


5. Exploring the potential of Mahara for developing key skills for university


This lightning presentation will discuss the potential of Mahara in developing Level 4 academic skills and supporting the transition to higher education.


4. Talis Resource Lists: an academic perspective


Reading lists have long been an integral part of learning and teaching at the University. However the traditional reading list can appear detached from the rest of the module, giving the student few clues as to how the resources relate to the teaching or assessment of the module.


3. The pedagogic benefit of using webinar delivery within hybrid module design


Rob Whitehouse (Education Technology Lead, Senior Lecturer in eBusiness & Management) and Jade Price (current 3rd year BA Business & Management student) will offer a brief overview of one of the ‘hybrid designed’ Business & Management modules.


2. Audio feedback: why it works


In the Photography subject area we regularly use audio feedback and this seems to have increased student satisfaction with feedback, especially in relation to detailed and helpful comments. We’ll share our insights on that.


1. Moodle marking feedback options


This presentation will address the way in which Moodle is used to give feedback on assessment within the subject community of Sport and Exercise Sciences.
