The Collaboratory – Digital Classroom
The Collaboratory is a creative learning space supporting active, collaborative teaching activities through group work using tables with digital displays and interactivity.
We are looking for staff (and students) who would like to test out and develop learning and teaching scenarios using this space.
If you are interested, please contact Rob Weale RWeale@dmu.ac.uk
ELT Induction for new staff in HLS
Rob Weale has put together an online resource to support academic staff who are new to DMU in familiarising themselves with the use of technology for enhancing teaching, learning and assessment (aka. Enhancing Learning through Technology – ELT) at DMU.
http://celt.our-archive.dmu.ac.uk/elt-induction-hls
The resource is built around a checklist which includes general information about the use of technologies for teaching, learning & assessment, and directed guidance on how to use specific functions in Blackboard.

It also includes links to a schedule of face-to-face ELT induction sessions for new HLS staff.

Those who are involved in the induction process for new staff, may want to include the link to this resource (http://celt.our-archive.dmu.ac.uk/elt-induction-hls) as part of the staff induction materials (if relevant).
