    3. Overview of the Development of e-learning at Brunel Upgrade from Campus Edition to Vista (u-Link) The blended learning approach Minimum requirements determined by Senate Participation in HEA e-learning benchmarking initiative Brunel’s e-Learning Pathfinder ENTICE project

    4. Rationale of Brunel’s e-Learning Pathfinder ENTICE Project The project aimed to: Gather information relating to emergent broad e-learning practices Examine the relationship at module level between patterns of feature and tool usage of Vista (u-Link), and student evaluation data Use the evidence-base created to explore with Schools what they might aim to achieve in the blended learning situation, both in relation to process and outcomes Establish a process for the ongoing development and monitoring of e-learning strategies and action plans that use the local evidence base developed.

    5. Pathfinder outline

    6. Introduction to Appreciative Inquiry (AI) Pioneer: David Cooperrider. AI is a powerful approach to whole system change. AI leads from the positive deviant, rather than identifying what is wrong it looks at what is right.

    7. What makes Appreciative Inquiry different?

    8. Success Stories

    9. The 4-D Cycle of AI

    10. Our affirmative topic choice

    11. Educational considerations

    12. The Discovery Event To identify and appreciate the best of what is working well Understand their intentions for their choice of course design; all questions are positive (in accordance with AI) Dialogue of discovery, narrative-rich communication. A story of each person’s past, present and future aspirations

    13. The Develop Event Collectively (with others in the School team) discuss the Discovery event Share stories, quotes, emergent themes etc A time for people to explore their hopes and dreams for their courses; “what could be”

    14. Student Evaluation Personal Response System (PRS) Real time, active participation Large cohorts of students Data manipulation and analysis is accurate and significantly reduced

    15. Pre-Summit Event

    16. Summit Event Reflect on the findings gathered from the AI and to develop e-learning strategies and action plans required to make the School’s teaching practices more aligned with their vision and future objectives Important…..sustainability Highly interactive hands-on workshop.

    17. Our Findings so far…

    18. Project findings

    19. Spectrum of good practices (Social Sciences)

    20. Peer Advice (Social Sciences)

    22. Advanced online technologies “…..I would like to do podcasts with no (additional) costs or time involved...” “I would really like to conduct simulated games, for example students play in groups and own a retail store, everyone else in the class is a competitor, they need to manage accounts, marketing the supply, competing against each other.” “I would really like to conduct simulated games, for example students play in groups and own a retail store, everyone else in the class is a competitor, they need to manage accounts, marketing the supply, competing against each other.”

    23. Web 2.0

    25. Reflection Competing demands on time of staff Results of investigation received positively Evidence base of effective e-learning practice.

    26. Questions & Discussion phil.alberts@brunel.ac.uk http://www.brunel.ac.uk/life/study/computing/weblearn/enticepathfinderproject/
