CMM - Induction by Usic https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn This is a space to reflect on our induction process for students en-us 2022-04-08 13:03:47 UTC 2022-04-28 09:58:46 UTC hello@padlet.com Challenge https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136405664 Induction for students in 5 days - making sure we cover all that is relevant in 5 days - difficult!]]> 2022-04-08 14:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136405664 Improvement https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136407715 Suggest longer days for Induction week; colleagues working different times to extend the working day - asking for additional support over the 5 days which would include Academic Staff?!]]> 2022-04-08 14:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136407715 Challenge khtomlinson https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136416517 Students remembering everything they are told in induction week - it's a lot of information for students to take in. How do we ensure that students who miss the sessions get the information. Is all the information needed at the start of the year or can we break it down? Is there enough information on what expectations there are from a module perspective (i.e completing formative assessments, no. hours self study, etc)]]> 2022-04-08 14:18:07 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136416517 Improvement khtomlinson https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136422074 Can we make sessions more interactive or with work (i.e. quizzes) students do outside of the session to help them remember everything? (I've not seen all sessions so this may already be done in some)]]> 2022-04-08 14:21:24 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136422074 Working Well khtomlinson https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136425137 Timetable given in advance to staff and kept same for each semester so staff know to keep their timeslot free.

Lots of information included and consultation on what is needed. The programme has been adapted to include suggestions from all teams]]> 2022-04-08 14:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136425137 Challenge usictech https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136530042 I think that trying to avoid information overload is important.   What is the most essential information for students when they first arrive and what information can be drip-fed, reinforced or explained in more detail over a longer period?  What different forms of communication can we use?  We know that just telling students things or asking them to read a document does not necessarily mean they have understood the information or will be able to retain the key points. In what ways can we check that students have understood the messages we are trying to communicate?]]> 2022-04-08 15:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2136530042 Format kayleigh_thomas1 https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2139413372 Does everything need to be presented either online or F2F? What other teaching methodology can we use to enhance the 'independent learning' element?]]> 2022-04-11 15:59:18 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2139413372 Comprehension kayleigh_thomas1 https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2139416880 How do we make sure that students have fully understood what they have been told? And measure the effectiveness of both the content, and the schedule of delivery?]]> 2022-04-11 16:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2139416880 Topics & Information https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2140603086 Lots of information on important topics. Good mix "serious stuff" and extra curricular activities]]> 2022-04-12 10:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2140603086 Challenges https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2140607362 Engaging students in the online sessions- Disengaged students less likely to take in information

Balancing delivery of information so as to not overload]]> 2022-04-12 10:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2140607362 Return to F2F Sessions https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2140608619 May mean splitting presentations into smaller groups but will increase student engagement and give better opportunity for students to get to know staff and their peers]]> 2022-04-12 10:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2140608619 Virtual Reception https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2150139500 Induction can include a tour of Virtual Reception
Review the VR Page: 
  • Links on the vertical menu need to match the icons on the welcome page. 
  • Create a 'map' with links from the welcome page
  • Include a timeline (Padlet) with information for each month/ Or a calendar with hot spots for them to keep track of deadlines 
  • Key email addresses link- rename? 

Create links to VR from Module pages

Andira]]> 2022-04-20 11:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2150143030 Themes usictech https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2150275695 Are there any particular themes that it would be useful to thread through different sessions? For example, to reinforce the importance of attendance we usually talk about this topic both in sessions run by SET and by the Academic Team. Are there any other topics or main points that we can reinforce in this way?]]> 2022-04-20 13:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2150275695 Social Interaction usictech https://padlet.com/usictech/k1q70oqgn4pl1pmn/wish/2151894279 We should provide some opportunuties for students to get to know some of their teachers in an informal way and create (more?) activities where they need to work/spend time together. Induction sessions should be planned to require student input - more like a discussion than a presentation.

F2F students can have a library visit with a challenge/ game to do, Online students can have some challenges to complete which can help them to understand what information they can find from the library resources.
