Student-staff co-created novel how-to-learn resource by https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7 Please provide your comments on the questions below en-us 2022-06-13 18:43:19 UTC 2022-06-15 13:03:41 UTC hello@padlet.com The 'Methods' task is interesting and useful. What's particularly good about it is that you learn about strategies even without having heard about them before, and then get to check your understanding in the subsequent pages. calexan4 https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221928481 2022-06-15 12:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221928481 Evaluation design https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221928748 The pre- and post- test design with 1 hour workshops is not really meaningful - it's only about students' hypothetical perceptions but not practical use of learning strategies. Maybe a longitudinal study seeing how workshops impact students' learning over time or a comparative study between 1st and 4th year students' learning strategies would give some more realistic insights]]> 2022-06-15 12:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221928748 I couldn't understand the priority task, as I think that the priority should be personal while here you are checking for correctness. calexan4 https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221929046 2022-06-15 12:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221929046 Learning how to learn https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221929626 It makes sense to include some course content on learning how to learn for this course at the beginning of most 1st year courses]]> 2022-06-15 12:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221929626 I liked that it showed students they have other options besides the traditional study methods they're used to. https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221929938 2022-06-15 12:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221929938 Wording the cards well to encourage careful reading fionamcneill https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221930018 Some of the definitions on the cards used the name of the method in the first sentence, so it was easy to quickly sort them into the correct category without reading or thinking about the definition.]]> 2022-06-15 12:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221930018 It would be useful for personal tutors (while this role still exists!) to use the activities with their tutees as part of their second meeting before the exams. calexan4 https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221930235 2022-06-15 12:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221930235 Prioritising task for assignments https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221931215 Prioritising learning strategies for different scenarios seems particularly useful for suggesting to students how they might prepare for upcoming course assignments]]> 2022-06-15 12:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221931215 Very useful and well put together. I wonder if the students were given an introduction on learning methods or if they had only to infer what the learning methods were by matching the squares https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221931537 2022-06-15 12:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221931537 Modelling ideas within the exercises catherine_bovill https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221932988 I really liked that you revisited each of the concepts several times with definitions, examples etc, which seemed to be modelling the idea of revisiting topics over time to embed learning.]]> 2022-06-15 12:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221932988 It would be interesting to get students to choose a couple of strategies to try over a semester, and then have another workshop with them in which they reflect on their experience. This would also be a good opportunity to conduct another questionnaire on the impact. calexan4 https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221933190 2022-06-15 12:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221933190 Grouping by similar learning strategies https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221934251 Students who learn in similar ways might want to get together to learn in groups. Particularly relevant to group work projects.]]> 2022-06-15 12:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221934251 I would be curious to know how students engage with some of these methods. Would it be good to first ask them to come up with some points before introducing them to the definitions so they can engage with them on a deeper level? alisoncullinane https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221934458 2022-06-15 12:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221934458 Help lecturers think about integrating these techniques into courses fionamcneill https://padlet.com/btopad/ylr5v763p2qknjv7/wish/2221935026 Some of these methods - e.g., the little and often revision and student-created questions would be good (better?) as something that's incorporated into teaching.  I can imagine not that many students get round to doing this themselves, but would if it was part of their course.

These could even be incentivised - e.g., I was talking to someone who had creating questions as part of assessment, and the best questions then became part of later assessment.
