Embedding Wellbeing Approaches in EDS Programmes (HALS OTLA 21) by Claire https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21 A HALS/ETF project focusing on improving learner wellbeing through building confidence in the online space. en-us 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC 2023-03-28 19:25:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Project: What we aimed for? c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092190
  • Improving learners wellbeing through building confidence in the online space.
  • Investigating what effect does embedding wellbeing activities into Essential Digital Skills have on learner wellbeing (particularly women).

  • Fake news, misinformation and disinformation are having a real impact on community health and wellbeing in COVID times.
  • Our underpinning principles around Trauma Informed Practice put connectedness and empowerment at the heart of our delivery.
  • The new funded Essential Digital Skills programme was piloted and we built a co-design element into this course.
  • COVID19 has disproportionately affected women and particularly single parents
  • Tutors were in need of digital upskilling particularly in the areas of digital wellbeing to improve confidence

    • Learners were introduced to the project and complete a quiz on fake news.
    • Learners created short video diaries where they recorded how they feel misinformation is having an impact on their wellbeing.

    Stage 2:
    • Learners took part in 2 workshops around misinformation following principles of co-design.
    • A series of community messages based on their new knowledge and skills were produced by the learners in MS Word.

    Stage 3:
    • Learners shared wellbeing journeys by creating a second video diary outlining how confident they now felt that they can look after their own wellbeing online in relation to what is fake or what is misleading.
    • Wellbeing community messages were shared across the service.
    • Workshop template introduced to and embedded in classes across HALS.

    Learners reported feeling overwhelmed by the scale of misinformation online and worried about its effects on them and those close to them. 

    Learners had some idea of the motivations behind misinformation, and it was a cause for concern for many of them, particularly relating to health information. ]]>     2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092194     Case Studies c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092195 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092195 Video Diary 1: Case Study 1 c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092196

    Aims of the Workshop:

    To provide an understanding of what misinformation is.

    To learn about who creates misinformation, how it is shared and what motivations people have for doing this. 

    To consider how misinformation can affect our wellbeing and explore how we access and keep up to date with information in the online space. 

    To explore 'red flags' in our online experience that can help us identify misinformation. ]]>     2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092199     Misinformation Quiz c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092201 Whilst taking part in Misinformation Workshop 1, the learners completed a series of questions that explored their attitudes and feelings towards misinformation as they learned more about it. ]]> 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092201 Learner Feedback Post Workshop c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092203 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092203 c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092204 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092204 Workshop 2 c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092205 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092205 Aims of the Workshop c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092206 To support the learners to create personal messages and statements around the topic of misinformation. ]]> 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092206 c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092207 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092207 c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092208 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092208 Project Team c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092209 2021-07-02 16:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092209 Ecaterina Bright: Senior Tutor c_collins2 https://padlet.com/c_collins2/HALSEDS21/wish/1635092210 FSET; ATS; CTeach; MSc, PGCE

  • Learners created video diaries outlining the positive influence of the project on their wellbeing.

    • Learners created community message resources around misinformation:
      Shared via the TLC group, HALS Online (MS Teams), Staff meetings.

    • A Misinformation resource/workshop package prepared for rollout to embed in other courses across HALS and other forums.

    • Staff digitally upskilled and increased confidence in embedding digital wellbeing.

    • Trauma informed approach: Created an awareness to empower learners to make informed choices about their wellbeing in the online space.

  • Learners had some knowledge about misinformation but not a clear understanding of what it is.
  • Learners reported feeling overwhelmed by the scale of misinformation online and worried about its effects on them and those close to them. 
  • Learners had some idea of the motivations behind misinformation, and it was a cause for concern for many of them, particularly relating to health information. 
  • Breaking down the key aspects of misinformation, defining it, tools to spot it, was successful in helping the group to feel more confident about dealing and interacting with misinformation online. Evidenced by second learner video diaries.
  • Creating the personal messages and statements facilitated discussion around the issue and allowed learners to hear about lived experience from different perspectives.  
  • The group were unanimous that misinformation is harmful (Workshop 1), what that harm looks like and how it impacts differs from person to person as recorded in video diaries.
  • This supported the creation of resources that played a meaningful role in addressing the issue of misinformation and, more broadly, looking after their wellbeing online. 

    • We also valued feedback from EDS practitioner research peers:

    “What a critically important part of education – considering misinformation. This should be at the core of so many courses today”.

    “I like the idea of video diaries”.

    “[This curriculum is] potentially so empowering”.

    “Misinformation is having a real impact on community health and wellbeing”.

  • Allow exploration of learners’ own unconscious / confirmation bias. Are there outlets that they think ‘oh that must be false’ because they share views that don’t sit with their own.
  • ESOL Learners could produce more of their messages in languages other than English, widening the reach in a diverse community.
  • Learners could be have been shown how to record and edit their own videos improving their digital skills.
