Have you ever wondered what your students want from their Learning Edge (Edge Hill University’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) (aka Blackboard)), and how you may be able to provide it for them?
This session is framed against a summary of student views informed by the 2011-12 Annual Student eLearning Survey, with session attendees activity encouraged to discuss and evaluate both their current use and potential future use, of technology in their teaching practice, against course evaluation rubrics. Throughout, you will also be provided with some firm examples on how you can realise some of the student wishes in Learning Edge.
With a more comprehensive ‘Tips and Tricks’ handout available to take away, along with full copies of the course evaluation rubric (current and future practice) handouts to take away, it is hope that you will have a solid foundation to not only better reflect on your current use of technology, but also on how you may be able to enhance your practice in the future.
Session Learning Outcomes include;
An outline of what EHU Students want from their VLE
An understanding and knowledge of how Learning Edge can fulfill some of the student wishes
A review and discussion of how to evaluate your current online provision
A discussion of how the use of technology could enhance your practice
Practical support (Handouts) for the future application of the online course evaluation process
Here we have the slides for the session, and the 'script' is available in the notes section of the slides. The handouts are available in PDF format to print, and Publisher format if you want to edit them.
In May 2013 one of my online dissertation cohorts at Edge Hill achieved outstanding
results - 57% of students (n=47) obtained a First in the module.
This presentation will focus on my (the tutor’s) experience, outlining the approach
taken and the rationale – as well as reflecting on the experience since. The main tool
was a series of discussion boards (2,573 posts with over half the cohort engaging),
combined with web conferencing and student tracking. Colleagues have suggested one
of the main reasons for the success was my implicit belief that the technology would
benefit the student experience; perhaps my faith made it work?
I’ve taken this approach with other cohorts, and although the success has not been
replicated, anecdotal evidence (personal tutorials with parallel cohorts) indicates that
the open feedback given on discussion boards has had a significant impact on
outcomes. Also – the discussions have been used, retrospectively, by two students that
intercalated in 2013 – their grades being First / Iii.
A useful first slide to pre-load into your Collaborate session rooms, guiding participants to prepare. The slide instructs participants to 1. Test their speakers and microphone settings and 2. Set their internet connection.

We investigated the physical demands of netball match-play and different training activities. 13 Eight collegiate netball players participated in the study. Heart rate (HR), rating of perceived 14 exertion (RPE), and accelerometer player load (PL) data were collected in four matches and 15 fifteen training sessions. Training sessions were classified as skills, game-based, traditional 16 conditioning, or repeated high intensity effort training. Accelerometer data was collected in 17 three planes, and was normalized to match-play/training time (PL/min, forward/min, 18 sideward/min and vertical/min). Centres had a higher PL/min than all other positions (Effect 19 size; ES = 0.67-0.91), including higher accelerations in the forward (ES = 0.82-0.92), sideward 20 (ES = 0.61-0.93) and vertical (ES = 0.74-0.93) planes. No significant differences (p > 0.05) 21 were found between positions for RPE and peak HR. Skills training had a similar PL to match-22 play. However, the mean HR of skills training was significantly lower than match-play and all 23 other modes of training (ES = 0.77-0.88). Peak HR for skills training (186 ± 10 beats.min-1) 24 and traditional conditioning (196 ± 8 beats.min-1) were similar to match-play (193 ± 9 25 beats.min-1). There were no meaningful differences in RPE between match-play and all modes 26 of training. The centre position produces greater physical demands during match-play. The 27 movement demands of netball match-play are best replicated by skills training, while 28 traditional conditioning best replicates the HR demands of match-play. Other training modes 29 may require modification in order to meet the physical demands of match-play. 30

The aim of this study was to evaluate the carriage of a portable gas analyser during prolonged treadmill exercise at a variety
of speeds. Ten male participants completed six trials at different speeds (4, 8 and 12 km h21) for 40 min whilst wearing the
analyser (P) or where the analyser was externally supported (L). Throughout each trial, respiratory gases, heart rate (HR),
perceptions of effort and energy expenditure (EE) were measured. Significantly higher EE occurred during P12 ( p ¼ 0.01)
than during L12 (855.3 ^ 104.3; CI ¼ 780.7–930.0 and 801.5 ^ 82.2 kcal; CI ¼ 742.7–860.3 kcal, respectively), but not
at the other speeds; despite this, perceptions of effort and HR responses were unaffected. This additional EE is likely caused
by alterations to posture which increase oxygen demand. The use of such systems is unlikely to affect low-intensity tasks,
but researchers should use caution when interpreting data, particularly when exercise duration exceeds 30 min and
laboratory-based analysers should be used where possible.
This is an article written by Sophie Sibley, a former student from South Wilts Grammar School in Salisbury, who attended a talk on Biofuels and Sustainability given by David Read at Bishop Wordsworth's School in Salisbury. The article will provide valuable supplementary reading material for students studying A-level chemistry who want to learn more about the topic.
