On the box
By Jessica Gramp, on 6 October 2015
- Biology on the Box – https://biologyonthebox.wordpress.com
- English on the Box – https://englishonthebox.wordpress.com
The first example above (Biology on the Box) was run with tutors amending the tags on the 50 posts to fit with their teaching. Subsequently, these are better tagged than the posts in the English on the Box, where students led the entire process, including tagging. For ‘English on the Box’, 4 students contributed 35 posts and half of these were radio programmes. These students explained that they found it difficult to tag the posts with accurate keywords that were relevant to their modules, therefore it is important to involve the module tutors in this process.
- Students who participated improved their written communication skills and developed their digital footprint, which will help them to demonstrate their skills to future employers.
- Students used knowledge obtained from these media clips within their exam answers, so it had a positive impact on their learning.
- Academic staff could easily incorporate rich media into their modules.
- We need students to volunteer to become bloggers and approach their tutors to incorporate their blog posts into their Moodle courses – E-Learning Environments can help with the technicalities.
- We need tutors to volunteer to promote this to their student; incorporate the ‘viewing lists’ into their Moodle courses and help with tagging.
