Blended learning & developing an online presence to support inclusivity
The contemporary practice of capturing lectures and workshops both live and through pre-recordings has been the next main focus of Technology Enhanced Learning development within the Department of Applied Human Sciences. Staff have piloted a blended learning approach with the adoption of webinars, online lectures, recording of seminars, action research and extensive formative assessments to support the student learning experience.

Can you hear the students? The use of 1 minute papers to enable agile module delivery and facilitate student success
Some of the barriers to evaluating student feedback are the time needed to collect and analyse feedback data and achieving a meaningful response rate. One-minute papers which are often used to encourage students to think and comment briefly upon their own learning have the potential to fill this gap, allowing tutors to obtain feedback in a concise, functional format.
This workshop will promote the utilisation of Minute papers as practical instruments that provide manageable amounts of immediate feedback.

Impact of audio video feedback on student success
The combined use of video, wireless enabled devices and synchronised audio feedback in conjunction with more traditional strategies has been employed for a number of years now within Sports Science programmes at York St John, resulting in a high quality, innovative feedback package that has enhanced the student experience on the modules. This session evaluated data associated with the project, in terms of the student engagement with the process and their evaluation of the role this assessment and feedback strategy has played in their development as reflective practitioners.
