Please find the 1st round of feedback from the workshop below. 14/9/2016.

Speaking of repurposing, I have written up lots of stuff on a blog http://thedigitaldoctorate.com - folks are welcome to repurpose and reuse. Acknowledgement would be nice but not essential!

# data[].attributes.body
List of tools we use:
Adobe Connect, Captivate
Twitter and social media
VLE
Collaborative blogs, forums

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the idea of re-purposing stuff and using curated playlists to augment.

Great workshop. Very informative and practical examples.
Definitely a need for new ways of delivering training and information at our HEI

I have seen examples of academics using padlet noticeboards on their Blackboard module pages instead on the discussion board. I think this might work on a PGR student course I have created on Bb.

# data[].attributes.body
We're just starting to look at the range of options to deliver more online training for staff engaged in research. Whilst the academics are using a range of online tools, we need to learn about them and start to work out which may be useful. So far, we're using the standard Office options in our VLE

What
Dictaphone which: records in .mp3 (or .wma) format; has USB cable transfer to computers using a Drag and Drop approach; which is automatically recognised by Windows 10 when it is plugged in - so no specialised  software is needed. Such as the Olympus WS-852 Dictaphone (Argos - approx. £50). I have used an Olympus DS-40.

Lapel (clip on microphone) with a Dictaphone using the Dictation setting on the Dictaphone. This will reduce background noises (e.g. computer fan noise, the 'ssssss' sound in speech, the sound of breathing). Such as the Speedlink SL-8691-SBK-01 Spes Clip-On Microphone - Black (Amazon - approx £7)

How
To record a voiceover for presentations (powerpoint or videoed ) or a video of a computer software screencast demonstration.
Why
Having good sound quality is crucial if the presentation needs to be listened to for any length of time. Built in computer and camcorder microphones and cheap computer headsets don't generally give good audio recordings.

What's the point? How do researchers blend learning? Take a look at this feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
What - Twitter

How - To link to materials and discussions on researcher development. Not for live discussions. It is embedded into the VLE.

Why -
Strategically - to help build a research community spirit and also to support research capacity building.

Practically - To enable flexible learning: signposting useful learning materials outside of the University (e.g. Vitae materials); signpost useful Blogs (e.g. LSE publications) to raise awareness of 'what is happening in the research world' as food for thought; and signpost advice which I believe is relevant to my research community.

If you wish to add a powerpoint or other document
Drag and Drop the PowerPoint or document onto the sand, and the organiser will be asked to accept the change.

If you wish to add comments:
Double left click on the sand notice board, type your name at the top of a note, then add your thoughts in black and upload images, videos, or documents into your note.

Here's a video to show you how Padlet works.

# data[].attributes.body
What - Poll Everywhere (https://www.polleverywhere.com/)

How - To enable students to initially give anonymous responses to: how they were feeling; about their confidence; and advice for others.

Why - To recognise that new PGRs share common concerns and challenges. To enable new PGRs to anonymously discuss sensitive topics without revealing their answer to a question. To enable new PGRs to consider their options as a group.

For PGR responses see the following links:
They felt like : http://bit.ly/2bWzxCo
Confident about: http://bit.ly/2cw90sm
Concerned about: http://bit.ly/2cENJwM
Advice for others: http://bit.ly/2ccbb38

Restrictions of the free service
Each poll accepts a maximum number of responses. Think of this as the maximum audience size. How many responses depends on which plan you're on.

For example, the maximum number of votes each poll can receive on the Free plan is 25. This means...

25 people can reply once, or

2 people could respond 10 times if you've turned on "multiple responses", or

One person could respond 25 times.

( A free licence for education allows 40 replies)
