Performance and Multimedia: Towards an Undergraduate and Postgraduate Pedagogy
- Ajaykumar (Theatre and Performance)
Students studied the increasing possibilities of multimedia for performance. They were aided by web-based tutorials which were created for this purpose. One postgraduate student produced an online interactive version of Instant Hamlet, which allows users to view different characters' perceptions of the storyline. Another produced a CD ROM which lets users 'grow' a flower virtually by caring for it over a period of time.
Exploring the Use of an Intranet to Support Teaching and Learning
- Barbara Allebone (Educational Studies)
Current approaches to the use of the intranet with education students were examined and case studies produced. The results were used to develop and adapt distance/flexible learning support materials for mathematics subject knowledge required for primary education students and those following employment based routes.
Implementation and Evaluation of a Virtual Learning Environment within the Department of Historical and Cultural Studies
- Craig Spence (Historical and Cultural Studies)
This project involved the design, construction and evaluation of a virtual learning environment (VLE) to contain learning and teaching support materials for undergraduate history courses. The VLE has provided an online resource which holds information such as course outlines, course schedules, links to online exam papers, course tutor contact details etc.
Language Resources Online
- Jane Baker (Language Resource Centre)
The objective was to develop flexible learning resources to support students studying modern languages across the College. Suitable audio and video materials were selected and then converted into digital format to become web accessible. Staff developed skills to use the learning technology and to create further flexible learning resources.
Goldsmiths Online Language Development (GOLD)
- Karen Nicholls (English Language Unit)
To encourage students to use self-study to improve their English language writing and listening skills, learning materials were adapted for the web and made interactive so that students can choose the subject area they want to concentrate on. Classroom lectures were filmed and video clips made so that students can practise listening. They could test their comprehension by means of submitting their answers to questions which are stored in a database.
Introducing E-Prime as a Learning Resource for Teaching Research Methods in Psychology
- Edmund Keogh (Psychology)
The experimental generation package, E-Prime, was introduced into first and second-year courses in BSc Psychology. To achieve this, laboratory classes were converted to incorporate practical sessions using the software. Website resources were developed to support staff/student learning related to the software package and an online survey was drawn up to assess whether or not the introduction met its initial objectives.
