Aalborg and Ballerup: May 9th and 10th

Phil — Thu, 10 May 2012 13:02:14 +0000

(From Copenhagen Airport on way home) Here are the main slides used at my three workshops. As I explained, there was some common ground (the seven factors) but also different things at the different workshops, responding to matters arising from the respective participants. It was good working with you all. Aalborg 2012 (24)

Here are the main slides I used in my keynote, minus the links and pictures. You were a great audience, thanks. UWE (69). I enjoyed all of your sessions, thanks, particularly the one on feedback and feedforward, and on talking students online through the answers to past exam questions, illustrating how exactly to go about answering them where necessary. There’s excellent practice around at UWE.

Updated ‘ripples model’

Phil — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 10:50:55 +0000

I’ve updated the PowerPoint file which shows the development of the ‘ripples model’ of learning, with some new slides added. Now it should download more easily, directly as a PowerPoint file, without the hassle of zipped folders, as my website software no longer needs these. Ripples model seven factors (14397). This is written up as Chapter 2 of the 2nd (2010) edition of ‘Making Learning Happen’. If you would like to book me to go through this live at your institution, please email me.

Reflecting on your teaching

Phil — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:47:13 +0000

I keep playing with a checklist to use before and after a teaching element, and here’s the latest version. I’m now able to put up Word files directly, saving all the messing with zipped folders. Do let me know what you think of this, so I can improve it. I know it’s too long, but I thought it best for colleagues to edit it down. Reflective Checklist 2012 (393)
