How can we successfully "chunk" the learning without it looking like 'more tasks' for the learners and discourage them? Any thoughts?

We need to emphasise with them that master's level involves more encounters with authentic materials and practice - publications, data, discussions about what the evidence means, proposing ways of generating better data, predicting the outcome of an intervention, arguing about the right way to proceed. This is all that chunking comes down to, really. Where do we set these expectations, and make it clear that the chunks ARE the learning? I think this is a good topic for pre-sessional communication to the students; induction; the week 1 welcome video; and the first group tutorial in week 1. ]]> 2020-07-10 11:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651710213 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651713625 If your 'chunks' are clearly scheduled/timetabled, then students know exactly what they should be doing when, which can make this seem much less overwhelming!]]> 2020-07-10 11:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651713625 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651715762 Explicit time-tabling of space to do the "tasks" may help them see them as part of the learning process, not extra work.  ]]> 2020-07-10 11:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651715762 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651722656 Tips for clinical teaching?]]> 2020-07-10 12:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651722656 fouziak312 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651725047 HI all, One of my lecture is very knowledge heavy. Apart from Q&A to break the chunks of presentations, how else can I make this synchronous session interactive. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the module, I can't send pre-reading material. Any suggestions will be good. Many thanks.]]> 2020-07-10 12:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651725047 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651730336  http://www.todd-finley.com/2017/10/15/brain-blast-make-lectures-interactive/#:~:text=Brain%20Blast%3A%20How%20to%20Make%20Lectures%20Interactive.%20BEFORE,answer%20the%20questions%20in%20your%20presentation.%20ACTIVATE%20SCHEMA ]]> 2020-07-10 12:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651730336 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651732559 Fouzia - does it have to be a lecture? could you instead protect some time for students to engage in guided independent study so that they can cover these concepts at their own pace? students could use peerwise to generate 1-3 multiple choice questions as an output of their independent study to demonstrate their understanding and to assess their peers]]> 2020-07-10 12:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651732559 l_ramakrishnan https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651733005 Hi Fouzia, Good question. Like student outcomes, there is a concept called 'in-comes', what knowledge the students come to the course with? You can use the first 5 minutes of the class, to find out what the student incomes are, (they can unmute and shout-out the concepts). You can even get 1 or 2 to elaborate bit more, then as you churn out chunky bits, take a pause, relate your chunks to 1 or 2 Student in-comes and pose the question back to the student(s), 'Now, how does this new piece of information, relate to what you initially said' etc...]]> 2020-07-10 12:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651733005 l_ramakrishnan https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651734611 If it is really independent study, it need not be time-tabled, it should ideally be done in Student's own time. If you mean facilitated group study with clear expected outcomes, that can be part of your session.]]> 2020-07-10 12:30:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651734611 l_ramakrishnan https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651736040 Hi anonymous, by clinical teaching, do you mean how to replace training happening in hospital settings or mock-clinic type activities?]]> 2020-07-10 12:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651736040 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651736170 i disagree - i think timetabling independent study is incredibly helpful to the student, and furthermore, making it explicit to students what this independent study is 'for' and why it is scheduled can make them much more engaged and value it as integral to the learning. if this isn't emphasised, students will quickly drop this.]]> 2020-07-10 12:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651736170 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651736500 hi Latha - i mean both]]> 2020-07-10 12:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651736500 l_ramakrishnan https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651742487 @Anonymous 2, yes, I agree that providing protected time can often help especially in the programmes offering part-time study options to busy students with full-time job and other commitments. If the study materials are only provided in the session (as Fouzia mentions), it becomes a synchronous 'Just-in-time learning'. This is of course different from the model of providing study materials well in advance and getting them to learn in their own time asynchronously.]]> 2020-07-10 12:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651742487 fouziak312 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651745764 HI all, thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, how the nature of the module sits within the course, we have no time for independent study. Our modules are very small (2 weeks) with ICA preparation etc. I was thinking the lecturer could do a 10mins presentation on foundation of the lecture, and then a 10min on Q&A.]]> 2020-07-10 12:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651745764 fouziak312 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651746695 Followed by some case studies, and another discussion session to engage with the students. Unfortunately, group work wont work, but I've asked him to use mentimeter at the end to do a "knowledge check". I also have to be mindful that he is an external lecturer and they're only paid for their session. ]]> 2020-07-10 12:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651746695 fouziak312 https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651746736 What do you all think?]]> 2020-07-10 12:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651746736 l_ramakrishnan https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651747066  @ Anonymous 1: Regarding clinical/lab teaching, unfortunately there isn't a straight forward answer or perfect replacement. However, the following alternatives are suggested. Using 1) digital artefacts like pics/videos, if that will help achieve the learning outcome 2) simulations 3) synchronous remote participation like live online demonstration, 4) asynchronous participation by a nominated member from a group (by turns, due to limited numbers allowed in labs/clinics) and collective learning etc. ]]> 2020-07-10 12:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ajones918/yzc4rykq4dekefer/wish/651747066
