What were your key questions / reflections after attending the online webinar on Strategies for Supporting Reading?
My key ones were:
1. ironies of text - Does anyone encourage learners to annotate videos using tools like Panopto or even captions on YouTube? Dina mentioned that she would be starting to do this. I'd love to collate some key examples of this practice to share with everyone.
2. Blowing things up to A3, making mind maps etc
I have heard academics say that ‘reading’ is the point at HE level and activities like this (drawing concept maps and pictorial representations) are too ‘low level’. Thoughts? Academics with this mindset, will, unfortunately, not be equipping learners with independent reading and comprehension skills. How do you counter this mindset?
