Embedding technology into staff development
Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education
University of the Arts London (DIAL project)
– collaborative reading, writing and reflection activities on individual blogs
–produce a short video summary of their project outcomes
Challenging but/therefore useful
Raised confidence and competence in technologies for reflective practice
Increased participants’ willingness to use technology in their teaching practice
Need to consider: support needs; open practice; familiarisation with communicating online; assessment strategy; inclusion; f2f contact
