This blog post shares students views' on mobile learning from a survey carried out at the University of Liverpool. One of the most interesting aspects of this post is the summary of student views in response to the question; 'How would you expect to use mobile devices at University?'

Thomas thank you for sharing. I wonder whether digital natives and "others" would have different opinion? Also I can not guess on how much of a difference would UG students have to part time PG students. Do you have any idea on that or maybe a good resource to look at?

Queen Mary carried out a useful survey on their students' experience of their Moodle VLE in 2012/13. This report is very detailed and thorough. It covers many similar issues to those we have faced at City University and many of the learning points and recommendations are relevant to us.

This blog post by an educational technologist at the University of Liverpool discusses VLE minimum standards. The author includes a very useful comparison of specific criteria used by 20 different UK universities.

The Spring 2014 issue of this bi-annual e-learning journal published by the Learning and Teaching Institute at the University of Hertfordshire contains useful research on the educational use of blogs and wikis and the use of quizzes for formative assessment.

This paper published by The Open University looks at how social presence can be used to engage students with online learning. It outlines the benefits and problems of online communication for learning and then looks at the pros and cons of different online communication tools.

This web article shares the results of a study exploring which types of interaction are most predictive of students' sense of community in online graduate courses at a US university. Interactions between learners which emerged as contributing the most to sense of community, in decreasing order of contribution, were (a) introductions, (b) collaborative group projects, (c) contributing personal experiences, (d) entire class online discussions, and (e) exchanging resources.

This web resource created by University College Dublin offers guidance on designing or redesigning modules in ways that encourage students to engage in the curriculum and develop deep learning, critical thinking and research skills.

Thomas, thank you for your information. Very useful in identifying this if we need it. btw, why did you post the same comment twice :)

This web and pdf resource from University College Dublin, offers helpful guidance on structuring your modules and considering what the best sequence for when and how students might access resources including the blend of content, activities and resources.

Thomas, blended learning is something i am focused onto in this phase of my Project development. Thank you for sharing this source.

The purpose of this report is to examine the latest issues and trends in course evaluation. In-depth interviews have been conducted with 10 senior academics and student representatives to draw out a general sense of how universities are currently approaching the 'process' of student surveys, and what improvements need to be made to gain more effective student feedback on courses and lecturer

If you are City University London staff then here is a cookbook how to get hardware needed for your Project. I plan to use my Ed Tech and I know who he is :) How about you?

Brilliant book on different aspects of building online communities A bit expensive but worth adding to university library. Individual chapters can be bought and downloaded

I have had Twitter account for some time but this is my first encounter with its potential application in Research.

Seemingly considerable resources to support use of multimedia in education. 

A good report based on change experiences from various universities
