Cascading Event @ USP Open Day 2009

Above is a slideshow of activities at the USP Open Day 2009.

What is this booth about? preview to our Open Day display

Louise and I are gearing up for the annual USP Open Day which is to be held tomorrow, Friday 25th September beginning at 8am. We are expecting about 18,000 people to come through on the day mostly from high schools, certain tertiary institutions and members of the general public.
The EDULINK-SideCAP project is allocated a booth which we are going to showcase the course that was repurposed from OERs - Essay Writing with Readings.
Also, we thought we'd promote OERs in general so we have produced this short clip from extranormal which we will also showcase on the day. Check this out!

Presentation @ VC's Learning & Teaching Forum

This morning, Louise and I presented on Re-purposing course materials for enhanced student learning support – Lessons from EDULINK and this was very well received by the USP community that were present. A cascading event informing the university community about the project.

Today, a presentation was made to LLF11 students in C11 lab (11am-12pm) on the repurposed course.

Presentation to LLP13 & LLF11 students

Today, two sessions (9-10am & 1-2pm) on the Essay Writing with Readings module were conducted for LLP13 and LLF11 students (both preliminary and foundation level courses) at the C11 Lab. There were about 15 students that attended both these sessions.

Presentation to HY205 students

This morning at 9am, Louise and I made a presentation to HY205 (Pacific History: Contact and Response) students on the repurposed course - Essay Writing with Readings. This session was initially to be held on Monday 31st August at the 014-025 room however due to technical problems encountered, it was then moved C11 Lab. Louise took the students through the module and highlighted the key features and the additional support through the Student Learning Support (SLS) email that they could use whilst using the module. We have emphasised the importance of feedback and we certainly look forward to this. HY205 is one of two courses that are being used for the pilot phase and the C11 Lab has been booked for 2 days per week till the end of Semester 2 for students to be able to use the module effectively with consideration of the applications required to use it.
