This is the fifth in a series of seven case studies developed as part of the mobile innovation project. These cutting edge teaching approaches may not be suitable for everyone, and some proved difficult in their implementation, but the project provided the opportunity for staff to try out new ways of delivering learning. This case…
This is part of a regular series of articles exploring some of the terms used in e-learning (view other articles in the series). We’ll do our best to break down the jargon and explain what things are from a basic perspective. An ‘Infographic’ is a method of presenting information in an engaging, visual way. They…

The mobile innovation project was developed to encourage academic staff to try harnessing student-owned mobile devices for learning purposes. Staff submitted an idea for a teaching innovation using mobile technology and agreed to share their experience with other colleagues. These approaches have been captured in a series of seven case studies which will be highlighted…
This case study looks at how incorporating multimedia, and in particular YouTube clips, into lectures and pre-lab activity has improved student learning and academic performance. The tutor felt that the most recent research and up-to-date developments relating to her subject could be easily sourced and were more accessible to her students via YouTube. In order…
We’d like to thank all the participants in the mobile innovations project who have provided us with case studies on their experiences and shared their practice across the university, through conference presentations, posters and faculty events. If you missed these events, you can check out some scenarios for mobile learning, and see some of the resources on the blog. As is…
Here are presentation resources from some recent mobile innovation events: Creating a portable wireless network for a class, with Andy Stratton, 12th and 18th July 2012 View presentation This project demonstrates the potential of a Raspberry Pi (a simple computer designed to encourage people to programme) to set up a portable class-based wireless network, which could…
With Andy Stratton Thursday 12th July, 12 noon till 1 pm, and Stoddart 7410, City Campus Wednesday 18th July, 12 noon till 1 pm, in Main Building DOO1, Collegiate Crescent This project will use a Raspberry Pi (a simple computer designed to encourage people to programme) to set up a portable class-based wireless network, which…
Stuart Hepplestone facilitated a number of sessions during the Assessment Week (30 April – 3 May 2012). These development sessions examined good practice for integrating assessment and feedback in the curriculum through the use of technology: Using e-learning technologies to facilitate effective feedback practices [presentation] Participants worked in small groups to identify the appropriate use…
With John Lee and Kieran Macdonald Thursday 7th June 2012, 12 noon till 1 pm Main Building D001, Collegiate Campus This session will cover two examples of mobile innovation: Supporting Communication and Collaboration for the WWW Mobile Generation (Education where-ever, what-ever and when-ever they want?) Undergraduate and postgraduate students in Design Technology Education are…
