Students Supporting Students and Wiki Learning- Episode 4

September 6, 2011 by Colin Gray in Student Support | Leave a comment

Welcome to episode 4 of the Edinburgh Napier Radio show!

This time around we’ve got a report for you from a recent SEDA event in London on Students Supporting Students. Then I talk to Christine Penman about her recent project involving wikis in language learning which won her an LTA award at the staff conference. Click the play or download button below to listen, or subscribe to the show in iTunes to have it delivered direct to your player.

As always, please do get in touch with feedback of any kind, especially on features or subjects you’d like covered in the future. Even better, if you’d like to record a feature yourself, from an upcoming conference, or on a recent project or paper of your own, then let me know – it would be great to hear from you.

To continue to make the show we really need feedback from you, the staff, to let us know how useful you find it. If ‘the show must go on’ please let us know!

This is the start of a regular series of radio style broadcasts which will be delivered to you here, or via our own podcast feed which you can subscribe to. The show is produced by Professional Development in association with the Teaching Fellows scheme and the School of Art and Creative Industries, and aims to bring you the latest news and research from the world of higher education on a bi-monthly basis.

Each episode will bring you features on learning and teaching approaches from across the sector, including such things as technology enhanced learning, student support, feedback and engagement. You’ll get your chance to ask questions on these subjects and more, learning from the experience of other staff members as well as the Academic Development team. You’ll also hear from regular and guest presenters as they attend conferences, participate in seminars and talk to leading educators around the country.

We really want your feedback on this and will be shaping the show over the coming months based on your needs so please drop us a line, either via our Edinburgh Napier email to Colin Gray or Elaine Mowat, or by leaving a comment in the area provided below.

In this episode:

  1. News, including the new ‘Be wise…’ site and a novel approach to student funding.
  2. A chat with Karen Strickland about the new LTA resource bank and how it can help you.
  3. A feature on novel, but easy ways to improve the support you offer your students,  saving you time while inproving the student experience.
