Part of the responsibility for learning belongs to students, but as faculty, we can find new ways to motivate, inspire, and maybe even cajole students to learn. This workshop demonstrates and explains how instructors can make classroom learning, perhaps one of the most artificial learning settings, a more meaningful experience for students. The presenter uses theories of learning and motivation as a basis for creating strategies to increase student engagement in course content and class sessions. Shared by Dr. Phil Langton Last year I saw Dr. Todd Zakrajsek give the plenary lecture at a Subject Centre (Biosciences) conference - it was brilliant and I've used some ideas in my own teaching and they worked better than I could have imagined. He observes well, communicates the complex in a way that makes it accessible. He has developed or borrowed some great diversions to use in large lectures and workshops that really do work. I would recommend anyone who lectures to watch these workshops. More so if we contemplate redesigning curricula - we should not without a refresher of this sort - or else we risk pruning out important elements of teaching that works. 1.

Put simply the clip is selected for its challenge, what it does not say, what lines of inquiry it suggests, but NOT specifically for its content. As with most models of enquiry based learning the activity can be short - a single session brainstorming ideas - or a task over several weeks. Students might be asked to produce a report or presentation, or extended dossier. Students could be from any discipline, indeed it may an advantages to remove students from their discipline assumptions, the FOCUS here is on students working together to come to understand what they don't know, what they need to know in order to answer the question and to seek out information to create solutions. In this example the students were asked "when and where did the plane crash" This is in fact a clip of a geo-physics research aircraft. The plane is a Douglas C-47B-30-DK owned by Hunting Surveys and crashed on the 8 April 1967 South West of Hail (Saudi Arabia) I know this because I can identify the aircraft from its tail registration number and search the internet for a range of historical archives to answer the apparently unrelated question.

Though many of the terms will be unfamiliar to the lay viewer, it is fascinating to see the vast industrial machines producing the most delicate of lace and the teams of women finishing and mending by hand. From the design, pattern-making and punching to the final scenes of a well-to-do bride at her 'lace wedding' on a bleak, wet day in late 1920s Nottingham, this is a graphic reminder that this once great industry is as much a part of Nottingham's heritage as Robin Hood. (Laraine Porter) Intertitles: 1. A line of Jacquard Machines 2. This machine is 186 inches wide and makes 5 yds. of lace in one piece 3. Automatic Embroidery machine at work, making 20 yrds. of Embroidered Lace 4. Operative attending machine, picking up broken threads and re-threading 5.

The system uses an EEG machine and a technique called SSVEP. This allows a user to select commands by looking at one of 4 icons on a computer screen which are flashing at different speeds. The more the user concentrates their gaze on an icon the higher the brain signal reading for that command becomes. In turn the signal is fedback to the icons to provide some visual feedback to the user. The icons are mapped to musical parameters and commands relative to the composition. Through 'playing' the icons the system becomes an instrument. By ordering, timing, and sequencing how icons are played, the whole piece is controlled from the triggering of sounds and arrangement of sections, to individual parameters of synthesis and effects. As with performing with acoustic musical instruments there are some obvious mistakes, which add to the human element of performance. It's all played from memory and took a fair bit of practice. There's some odd interference from the desk over the beginning section which I might try and remove later on. Shared by j-loe. Demonstrates current Brain Computer Music Interface (BCMI) technology.

Produced by Lisa Thumann ©2012 Shared by Tim O'Riordan. A useful example of using Google+ Hangouts to run a video conference session. I ran a brief test with some colleagues which brought up some issues which appear to be general (i.e. not just us). I assumed that as it was 'my' hangout that I would have some control over what was seen and heard. Not the case it seems... 1. Although you can mute someone - they can unmute themselves. 2. It's impossible to block someone once the session has started. 3. You appear to have no control over what is seen by participants on the main screen. Although the audio is reasonable throughout, the video in this post loses it's main image halfway and continues in this way to the end.

The emphasis of the 'stimulus' learning design is to stimulate interest and student engagement. It is anticipated that the introduction of any teaching interaction with media in this way will reinforce or disrupt the expectations of learners in a deliberate fashion. The 'narrative' learning design encompasses activities which enable learners to develop a story or narrative using video clips in different ways, including sequences. Narratives provide an overarching structure with signposts providing direction. Learners might be producing a narrative with the clips or learning to understand how a narrative is constructed using the clips as examples.

Here a "countrywoman" demonstrates the old-fashioned way to bake a rabbit pie, padded out with bacon fat, with some top tips to nervous chefs ("use salt and pepper sufficiently, but carefully"). For those who despair at Delia Smith's 'How to Cheat at Cooking' (she, presumably, would have just defrosted a Fray Bentos), this is a pleasing reminder of traditional cookery values.

The quadrotors play this "couch guitar" by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame; plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor. A special microphone attached to the frame records the notes made by the "couch guitar". 
These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments.

 This video premiered at the TED2012 Conference in Long Beach, California on February 29, 2012. The engineers from Penn, Daniel Mellinger and Alex Kushleyev, have formed a company called KMel Robotics that will design and market these quadrotors.

Basically, you use it to defend yourself, without having the right to use if for unfair attacks". Pierre Bourdieu Pierre's Bourdieu's forty books and countless articles represent probably the most brilliant and fruitful renovation and application of social science in our era. The highly influential, at times controversial intellectual--a longtime Professor of Sociology at the College de France--passed away in January 2002. A "committed" thinker in the vein of Foucault, his work is concerned with elucidating the processes of symbolic violence and cultural domination in various areas of social life. His most well known book, Distinction (1979), addressed these themes in an effort to overcome the opposition of objectivist (Marxist) and subjectivist (Weberian) theories of class. In the late nineties he became something of a celebrity scholar, one of the world's most important academics actively associated with the anti-globalization movement. Bourdieu himself argued that scholars and writers could and should bring their specialized knowledge to bear on social and political issues. His powerful critiques of the neoliberal revolution were the natural outgrowth of a lifetime of research into economic, social and cultural class domination among peoples as disparate as Algerian peasants and French professors, and as expressed in everything from amateur photography to posture. Sociology is a Martial Art, a documentary about Bourdieu's life, became an unexpected hit in France just prior to his death. Filmed over three years, director Pierre Carles' camera follows Bourdieu as he lectures, attends political rallies, travels, meets with his students, staff, and research team in Paris, and includes Bourdieu having a conversation with Günter Grass. The film's very title stresses the degree of Bourdieu's political engagement. He took on the mantle of Emile Zola and Jean-Paul Sartre in French public life, slugging it out with politicians because he considered those lucky enough to have spent their lives studying the social world could not be indifferent to the struggle for justice.

It was visually staggering." (Peter Roberts, co-director, 'Launch') Shot in and around Swan Hunter's busy shipyards at Wallsend, North Tyneside, 'Launch' (1974) depicts the building and christening of two ships, the 'World Unicorn' and the 'London Lion'. As members of the Amber Collective and art graduates, Roberts and co-director Murray Martin were struck by the incredible imagery and sculptural quality of the shipyards and the surrounding industrial landscape, and decided to film them. They were given unlimited access to the ships and the yards, and arrived there with no greater ambition, at first, than simply to record what they saw. But having started work on a collective riverside project several years later, they found in the film's rushes an eloquent eulogy to a lost community and to Britain's industrial past. In this short film, the BFI's Poppy Simpson and Gemma Starkey took Peter Roberts back to a very different Wallsend and asked him to reminisce about his experiences of making 'Launch' almost 40 years ago.

Instead, utilizing a systematic model based on massive empirical research, they reveal the manner in which the news media are so subordinated to corporate and conservative interests that their function can only be described as that of "elite propaganda." http://www.mediaed.org Presented by Justin Lewis, University of Massachusetts.

"Climate change should finally teach us that we're not the paragon of humanity's potential," he says. ----- What does it mean to be human and alive? The thousands of different cultures and languages on Earth have compellingly different answers to that question. "We are a wildly imaginative and creative species," declares Wade Davis, and then proves it with his accounts and photographs of humanity plumbing the soul of culture, of psyche, and of landscape. The threat to cultures is often ideological, Davis notes, such as when Mao whispered in the ear of the Dalai Lama that "all religion is poison," set about destroying Tibetan culture. The genius of culture is the ability to survive in impossible conditions, Davis concludes. We cannot afford to lose any of that variety of skills, because we are not only impoverished without it, we are vulnerable without it. - The Long Now Foundation Edmund Wade Davis (born December 14, 1953) is a noted Canadian anthropologist, ethnobotanist, author and photographer whose work has focused on worldwide indigenous cultures, especially in North and South America and particularly involving the traditional uses and beliefs associated with psychoactive plants. Davis came to prominence with his 1985 best-selling book The Serpent and the Rainbow about the zombies of Haiti. Complete video at: http://goo.gl/UYhh Shared by Dr Nick Pearce.

Part of the module allows academics to explore areas of e-learning that interest them, and this excellent selection of video case studies offers a range of examples of practice. Staff can explore individual cases which they are encouraged to analyse in terms of why technology is being used, what are the benefits and potential issues. This reflection is then used to help inform their own planning of a technology-enhanced learning activity.
