As the first signs of spring begin to appear, here’s our February newsletter.
Following on from our successful summer event last year, the Technology Enhanced Learning Community of Practice (TEL CoP) are inviting you to save the date for this year’s hybrid summer event.
The community continues to be open to all and we encourage you to invite colleagues to join the community on MS Teams and attend the event.
More information and registration links will follow next month.
If you do your marking in Turnitin Feedback Studio, we need to make you aware that this does not work with the QMplus marking workflow feature. This means that grades and feedback may be visible to students before you intend them to be.
For further information about this issue and what we recommend that you do, please read our full article Turnitin does not support the QMplus marking workflow feature.
Continuing the subject of Turnitin and marking, we have recently discovered an issue when staff attempt to mark the same piece of student work in QMplus AND Turnitin Feedback Studio. In this case, grades from Turnitin can overwrite grades entered in QMplus and cause some confusion.
For further details please read our full Two grades don’t make a right article.
Sadly we have to announce that we will no longer be offering recording booths as one of our services.
The booth in the iQ East building at Mile End is being decommissioned and the space released for office use.
The Whitechapel booth, in the Garrod Building basement, has been handed over to the Digital Education Studio within the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. For enquiries regarding this facility, please contact digitaleducationstudio@qmul.ac.uk.
We will continue to offer workshops on creating videos and podcasts for teaching and learning. These will be advertised via our newsletter and website.
You can read more about this decision in our Closure of our video booths article.
We have a number of staff development sessions running in March, some of these are particularly aimed at helping staff prepare for the next exam season in May.
In this month’s “Let’s Meet…” article we talk to Anis Faqiehah, a student at QMUL who has been employed by the TELT to work on updating some of our many video guides. She tells us a bit about why she loves studying at QMUL and what she is enjoying about working with the team.
Read the whole story in our Let’s meet…Anis Faqiehah article.
