2.2 LERSIG Workshop: Changing Learning Environments – What’s going on?
LERSIG - ALT’s Learning Environment Review Special Interest Group - will
be holding their next one-day workshop at the University of Bradford on
Wednesday 4th May 2011. Entitled “Changing Learning Environments –
What’s going on?” the aim of the workshop is to establish current trends
and issues surrounding institutional learning environments. There will
be mini-keynotes representing interesting developments in learning
environments:
* Changing VLEs – a current example of an institutional move to Moodle 2.0;
* Change Management Processes – an example of managed and supported change;
* An alternative model? – an example of a different approach to
curriculum engagement - Dynamic Learning Maps.
This will be followed by a brief review of the developments in FE and HE
in relation to learning environments and an opportunity for participants
to share recent developments and current issues. Participants will be
able to discuss the themes and issues arising from the keynotes with
colleagues at the event or via Elluminate and to frame questions for a
panel discussion.

2.3 Lecture capture - doing it well and at scale - a one day ALT event
on 16 June in London
Many organisations are turning to recording lectures and other kinds of
teaching session, and publishing these internally or externally so that
students and others can access the recordings at their leisure. “Lecture
Capture” is the awkward name for the family of technologies that support
the making of such recordings. The aim of this ALT event is to help
participants get to grips with the human, organisational, pedagogic,
quality and technical challenges of doing lecture capture well and at
scale. A small group has been working as the “conference committee” for
the event, including Eoin McDonnell, QMUL; Graham McElearney, Sheffield
University; Julie Voce, Imperial College London and Clive Young, UCL,
and we intend that the day will cover most of the following:
* Case studies of successful implementation including from the Institute
of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy;
* Lecture recording in the sciences;
* AV issues when working at scale and solutions;
* Encouraging adoption (What are the barriers?);
* Pedagogic and learning design issues;
* Supporting teachers and students in their use of lecture capture;
* Institutional policies and obstacles;
* Lecture capture myths and misconceptions and how to tackle these;
* IPR/Copyright issues.

2.4 Jointly with the E-Learning Network, ALT will be running a free
lunchtime webinar: 'Getting started with mobile learning' with Lilian
Soon and Garin Hess
11 April at 1300 UK BST
The term 'mobile learning' or 'mlearning' has been around for at least
five years but only now is the true potential being realised. Many
mobile phones are now powerful mini-computers that allow us to browse
the web, enjoy video, audio, games and interactivity. Just look around
you the next time you’re on the train - most people will be deeply
focused on their mobile phone, tablet PC or laptop. Imagine if they paid
that much attention to leaning material! The trouble is the world of
mobile learning can seem a little overwhelming. There are different
devices, different platforms and different technologies to consider. In
this webinar two experts will demystify mlearning and provide some
practical tips on how you can get started.

3.1 Five Key Questions
I have no hesitation in highlight this interesting document published on
16 March by Stephen Downes. The document's introduction reads: "In its
2010 'Speech from the Throne', the Government of Ontario, Canada
announced its intention to create an Ontario Online Institute (OOI) to
support online learning in the province as part of the Open Ontario
Plan. I was asked to provide some initial recommendations for that
initiative, in the form of responses to five questions."

4.4 How to produce media rich learning materials 8 April 2011
Video is now more popular than ever - we consume it on our televisions,
computers, mobile phones and tablet PCs; we use it for entertainment,
knowledge and increasingly for learning. Audio can be published as
podcasts, added to PowerPoint presentations or used as narration in
elearning courseware. Screencasts provide an ideal way to deliver
just-in-time IT systems training. All of these media can have a real
impact and be quick to produce - but only if you know what you’re doing!
This highly-practical event will show you how. Book via eLN website at
