Historical project up to date as of 2003. Materials designed to support professional development in embedding learning technologies. Materials available from this site have been produced by institutions participating in EFFECTS and the ELT award, in the spirit of building a shared understanding of practice. You are welcome to re-use these materials in workshops or ELT programmes. Materials available from other sites have been used successfully in the context of ELT and EFFECTs programmes. Most are publicly available for use, but please check before downloading.
See the ELT in Action page for ongoing arrangements to share and collaboratively develop materials for embedding learning technologies.
Materials are organised into general resources to support staff development with learning technologies, and materials relating to the specialist ELT Learning Outcomes.
Includes guides/manuals including a links to videos and how to use turnitin with Moodle.
YSJ says it is fine to use their material - please give acknowledgement.
This case study examines how ePortfolios, used in conjunction with blogs, can encourage students to become more critically reflective learners. The benefits and challenges of using ePortfolios are discussed, along with strategies for providing sufficient technical and pedagogical support, to enable teachers and students to confidently use the technology as a collaborative learning tool.
This video describes how an academic member of staff here at Aston has exploited the features of GradeMark (Turnitin), to provide rich and timely feedback directly onto student submitted scripts. Dr Stuart Wallis describes how he uses the "drag and drop" feedback functionality of GradeMark electronic submission and feedback tool. This exemplifies the positive benefits of using electronic feedback methods; for busy staff, and their students requiring developmental feedback soon after an assessment.
