CDEL works with the sports team to broadcast another live YouTube webinar

The CELT's Digitally enhanced Learning team is pleased to report on the success of the second live YouTube webinar for prospective students wishing to study sport at the University of Wales, Newport.

The Webinar was run by Andy Thomas (Programme Leader for BSc (Hon) Sports Coaching) and Charlotte Wathan (Programme Leader, BSc. (Hons) Sports Studies) and enabled prospective students to watch on any internet enabled device and pose questions via a dedicated Facebook page, Twitter hashtag and email address.  Questions which came in during the live broadcast were answered on air, and those which came after transmission were answered via the medium on which they were posed.

Both webinars thus far have been a huge success, with significantly more prospective students watching and interacting online than normally attend face to face open days.

You can watch a recording of the webinar below, or click here for more information.

CDEL gets invited back to Lincoln University

Last summer, the  head of the CELT's Digitally Enhanced Learning team was invited to Lincoln university to deliver a keynote on Open Educational Resources (OER). 

The talk so well received that last week, CDEL were invited back to Lincoln to deliver the same presentation to a different faculty within the same university.

Rather than just deliver the same talk though, the team decided to update it for 2013, reflecting developments and research undertaken within the University of Wales, Newport.

As was the case last year, staff at Lincoln University and the Higher Education Academy were in attendance and both groups praised the talk, both in terms of its content and delivery:
“@HEA_Sociology: Excellent presentation @unilincoln by @Pauls_elearning on constructing OERs. His website is well worth a look https://t.co/E2GlAbeI” 
“@suewatling: Watching @Pauls_elearning present on using free online tools for t&l fabulous stuff #oldsmooc #diymultimedia”
The presentation used can be viewed below:

 

We'd like to thank the staff of Lincoln University for inviting us back & making us feel so welcome. :)
