Securing Lecturers’ Involvement in the Evaluation of Learning Technology Phil Barker, Helen Jackson, Andrew Wallace, Steve Rothberg, Fiona Lamb, Gwen Marples. EASEIT-Eng

Talk Overview About EASEIT-Eng Why involvement is essential Steps taken to secure involvement Key points

About EASEIT-Eng TLTP-3 funded project Evaluative and Advisory Support to Encourage Innovative Teaching – Engineering From the mission statement...enable an academic tutor to make an informed choice from a range of evaluated computer based materials...

Why we Need to Involve Lecturers Lecturers value the opinion of other lecturers. Engineers value the opinion of other engineers. Believe that evaluations have to be evaluations of learning technology in use in “live” courses

How Much Involvement? Time for them to explain to us what they are doing. Effort in getting students to return questionnaires. Intrusion into their teaching. The risk of publicising failure.

Steps Taken to Secure Involvement

Developing the Procedure Project instigated by engineering lecturers and learning technologists working together. Lecturers’ input: –project team do the work not the evaluation hosts –methodology is thorough and efficient –outputs are concise

Usage Survey Aimed to show level of uptake of learning technology across UK HE Engineering departments Meant we were in contact with every relevant department at an early stage Identified software to evaluate and keen users.

Publicising the Benefits of Involvement Through newsletters, talks, papers etc... Benefits are: –recognition –networking opportunities –support –confidence (external validation)

How We Identified Hosts Networking / “usual suspects” Baseline survey respondents Returns from newsletters Letter to Heads of Department via departmental computing officer via learning technology / staff development units

Some numbers Where we can trace a “first contact” –7 were personal contacts –7 from usage survey –14 came from Dept. Comp. Officer –3 from s to JISC mail lists –4 referred by a colleague with whom we had contact

Securing Involvement On the whole, we did this by not phone - allowed “cooling off” Clear information about what is involved % of promising contacts came through with evaluations. Be persistent. Employ admin. help

Being engineers talking to engineers helped “I think we can help you here and in so doing help ourselves” £150 Securing Involvement

Summary Lecturers and learning technologists working together from the start. Remember the support staff will know who they support. If you value something, be prepared to pay for it.
