Focus:<\/strong> The use of digital and social media promoting inclusivity and interaction to enhance and transform learning
\nDate:<\/strong> 9th September 2014<\/p>\n

Many thanks to the TEL team at the University of Sussex who hosted the event<\/strong><\/p>\n

at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS), University of Sussex<\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong> MELSIG recognises the enormous potential of digital media as an enabler for inclusive practice and wider educational change. This event asked us to consider how digital media can be used positively to address disadvantage in teaching and learning, and in disciplinary practice and explored some of the challenges and opportunities facing individuals (students, teachers and practitioners) in making good use of interactive digital media. We discussed questions like \u2018how effective are digital tools at supporting inclusive learning?\u2019, \u2018what challenges do they create?\u2019, \u2018how important is it to be aware of our digital footprint?\u2019 and \u2018what guidance\/measures should be offered or put in place to help teachers and students manage and protect their professional identity online?<\/p>\n

The focus of this event relates to the range of ongoing MELSIG interests<\/a> and provides an excellent networking opportunity.<\/p>\n

Moving a small university into a new age of eLearning. Our aspirations for lecture recording<\/strong>
\nRoger Holden, eLearning & Web Development Manager, University of Chichester – <\/em><\/em>The University of Chichester is a small institution of around 5,000 students. Our size means we can move quite quickly when necessary and we have recently been given the go-ahead to roll out Panopto lecture recording campus-wide. We believe this will have profound implications as it opens up new methods of learning and teaching and has the potential to greatly enhanced the student experience. From flipped classrooms to blended learning, from improving the attention of students and, in particular, from increasing inclusion for those with special requirements, in employment and for speakers of other languages. But is it a one-way street? Will students side-step lectures? Will teaching staff object? Will students see the value? All these issues we will be examined along the way, but for Chichester the year 14\/15 will be “The Year of Panopto”. Presentation paper
