Thought this would be of interest to the list - please do enter next year's
awards!
The Jorum learning and teaching competition (previously known as the
Learning Object Competition) was again held in conjunction with the
Association for Learning Technology (ALT) this year. This is the first time
Jorum has hosted the competition, sponsored by Intrallect and previously run
by Intrallect.
The panel of judges were looking for exciting, innovative learning and teaching
resources that were created under a Creative Commons licence.
The shortlist of commended resources was presented in the main lecture
theatre during ALT’s September conference and the top three entrants were
awarded their prizes at the conference’s Gala Dinner.
First prize was awarded to ‘Making Group-work work’, developed by
LearnHigher, a collaboration between the Universities of Brunel, Bradford and
Leeds which involves 10 video episodes showing five students on the journey
of a group project. This multimedia resource helps students and tutors
overcome the challenges of group work and episodes are accompanied by
audio clips and discussion points to help learners explore listening and
interpersonal skills, oral presentations and group work.

All resources entered into the competition will be available through JorumOpen,
when released in January 2010. This new service will allow free access to
learning and teaching resources using Creative Commons (CC) licences, for all
to benefit worldwide.
