| Brief Details: | This blended-delivery workshop will be of interest to teachers with an interest in, but little experience of, online materials development, and who are happy to share their materials with the sector. The workshop will involve the introduction of the new online version of the LOC (Learning Object Creator), an authoring tool for the creation of online learning material, which is designed to be easy to use and includes in-built pedagogical guidance for the creation of effective materials. |
| Information: | Please note; for the purpose of this workshop only, your booking details (including e-mail addresses) may be shared between ourselves and the facilitators of this workshop, the University of Southampton. Participants will get a chance to discover the pedagogical background to the tool and begin to plan their own activity through a series of pre-workshop tasks; and then at the face-to-face workshop will use the tool in the creation of their own material, ending the day by sharing and peer-reviewing their outputs. The workshop will mix hands-on activity with discussion and presentation. A post-workshop task involves the creation of some learning material and the submission of it to the Subject Centre. Participants can then have unlimited access to the tool, to start using it in their own institutions, and will also have the opportunity to join our online community of developers. The Learning Object Creator (LOC) Tool is a simple authoring tool for teachers, which has been specifically designed to enable teachers to create their own e-learning materials without the need for technical support or training. It has been developed by the LLAS Subject Centre, in collaboration with the University of Southampton eLanguages group, according to a tried and tested effective pedagogical design developed over 4 years. It is available free of charge to colleagues in UK Higher Education Institutions to use for educational purposes, and can be used for any subject area (not just languages!). After a successful phase of testing and development, LLAS has begun to deliver the LOC tool through workshops which aim to encourage good practice in the design of online learning material, and to build a community of LOC users who can share their outputs through the LLAS website:http://www.llas.ac.uk/resources/2770 NOTE: We will close registrations two weeks before the date of the f2f event, and that completion of the pre-workshop tasks is compulsory for attendance on the day. Learning outcomes: Minimum requirements: (any prior knowledge/understanding required) Places are limited to two per learning provider in the first instance.,/b> |
