Schedule of events:

11.00 – 11.05 – Welcome

11.05 – 11.25 – Can you hear us?

Roshni Bhagotra (Digital Learning Coordinator, CCW)

In this short presentation we will explore and present sonic approaches to teaching and learning interactions through the format of educational podcasts and audio broadcast methodologies in education. Co-presenters will include students and recent alumni who are currently involved in a community-oriented project to develop and disseminate educational podcasting practice.

11.25 – 11.45 – Collaborative staff–student podcasting

Christie Johnson (LCC Head of Academic Support)

In 2022, the CCW and LCC Academic Support departments launched a collaborative staff–student podcasting project for exploring arts and design students’ beliefs around resilience and other learning development-related topics. This presentation will discuss the motivation for and design of the project, key outcomes so far, and future directions.

11.45 – 12.05 – Teach Inspire Create Podcast

Matt Moseley (Chief Examiner for Art & Design, UAL Awarding Body)

An insight into the development and publishing of UAL Awarding Body’s creatively focused Teach Inspire Create Podcast. This presentation will give an overview of the ethos and purpose of the podcast, the guests we have heard from, the audiences we have talked to, and our future aims.

12. 05 – 12.25 – Spatial Radio

Diana Ibanez Lopez (Course Leader – MA Cities, CSM) interviewed by Chris Rowell (Senior Digital Learning Coordinator, Digital Education)

http://www.spatialradio.live was established in 2021 within the Spatial Practices Programme at Central Saint Martins. We are a learning environment for skills across sound, production, performance, conversation and debate, audio technology, public interaction and spatial design for the broadcast space.

12.25 – 1.15 – BREAK

1.15 – 1.35 – Video primers and briefs

Richard Whitby (Lecturer in Creative Research, CCW)

I’ve been using short videos as accessible introductions to a brief with trailers for lectures and set readings. I will speak about why and how I did this, and reflect on how successful this has been so far.

1.35 – 1.55 – ‘Findings from the 2022 UAL Online Media production experience survey for staff

Anita Delaney (Open Media Coordinator, UAL Online)

Towards the end of 2022 the UAL Online team ran a survey on UAL Staff’s experience and understanding of media-based teaching and learning materials such as pre-recorded video and audio. This presentation looks at some of the key findings of the survey. This includes what we can tell about what staff perceive as the advantages and disadvantages of this type of material and what support may be needed for staff who want to engage more with this type of media content.

1.55 – 2.15 – Flipped Classroom Approach: Lifelong Learning Online Course Case Study

Ania Udalowska (Senior Digital Learning Coordinator, CCW)

I run short online lifelong learning courses to staff, students and the public. Following the flipped classroom approach and other pedagogical models I designed the course to include elements of self-directed learning (pre-recorded lectures, discussion boards and reflective journal entries) as well as weekly live sessions on Microsoft Teams focused on discussion and collaboration. This presentation will be a virtual tour around the course held on Blackboard.

2.15 – 2.35 – ‘MA Strategic Fashion Marketing Online: Using Video as Prerecorded Lessons and in Formative Feedback

Hannah Kane (Lecturer in Fashion Marketing, LCF)

The MA in Strategic Fashion Marketing Online is a new course for 2022/2023 and has been designed around a flipped learning model. Students from around the world are supplied with prerecorded lectures which are disseminated in live online seminars. Feedback on work is provided via Panopto, which is now also being used for the on campus course on some units. This case study will focus on the Marketing Communications unit.

2.35 – 2.40 – BREAK

2.40 – 3.00 – Tutor perceptions and experiences of asynchronous video in creative teaching and learning.

Mark Robinson (Learning Technologist, LCF)

I plan to present an overview of a recent small-scale case study of tutors’ pre-recorded video teaching elements. This will briefly include the context as part of my broader research, some findings and conclusions, and a relationship to the scholarly literature. Most literature focuses on STEM, whereas this study considers a range of creative and analytical subjects at UAL.

3.00 – 3.20 – Video for technical teaching and learning at Central Saint Martins

Nina O’Reilly (Specialist Technician Digital Projects, CSM) & Ray Barker (Technical Coordinator Photography, Film & Video, CSM)

This case study will look at the CSM technical team’s use of video for teaching and learning. Ray Barker will give some background to the development of technical videos, including how we came understand the need for video in technical teaching, how we approached it, and what we learned from the process. Nina O’Reilly will speak about the application and integration of our video content with digital learning tools such as Moodle and H5P.

3.20 – 3.40 – ‘So, you recorded your Teams presentation, what next?’ Developing a mixed delivery approach for a professional development project about language.

Damian Fitzpatrick (English Language Development Tutor & Liaison at LCF) & Romain Potier (Digital Officer – Academic Practice)

The Language Centre has recently set up a project based around the question, ‘What do we mean when we talk about language?’ in order to raise awareness around how language operates at the university. The initial idea was to simply host a series of talks (via Teams) but it was soon clear that staff across the university wanted to engage more with these talks – either through discussing or finding out more about the topics themselves or by collaborating and sharing their own experiences and contexts. For this to happen, we realised that some form of space would be needed to allow these kinds of things to take place. Therefore, this talk discusses how this project moved from being solely a synchronous form of delivery into one that also incorporates asynchronous aspects in order to allow colleagues to better participate in the project.

3.40 – 4.00 – Video Pedagogies: A Panopto Pilot

Natasha Bonnelame (Programme Director: Digital Learning, LCF) & Andy Lee (Learning and Teaching Innovation Lead, LCF)

Learn more about the Panopto pilot which will launch with two taught Master’s courses and a School Creative Director to explore the impact of enhanced engagement with video pedagogies.

Interacting with student’s work in a pointed and directed way potentially changes our approach to assessment, tutorials, and the production of video content.

From the student to the tutor, the course leader to the creative director, the Panopto pilot explores how we might design more inclusive and compassionate interactions across the College, University and externally.

4.00 – 4.05 – Close
