Recently, I popped into the Department of English and History to discuss the upcoming academic year (Yes! we really do start that early!) and as a result of a brief conversation about what the department needs from Learning Technology, we came up with a great idea for me to be based in the department for portions of time through the two upcoming busy marking weeks.<\/p>\n

Turnitin, Grade Mark, Grade Centre and Learning Edge can become a little overwhelming when all those submissions land. \u00a0So the best way to support academics\u00a0was for me (as the Learning Technology Development Officer for English & History) to be stationed in the department during certain times.<\/p>\n

Quite often a problem or question can be solved so easily by simply saying – “could you just take a look at this?” \u00a0Usually at the end of a phone or email it seems like it’s a game of 20 questions just to get to the beginning so that you’re both at the some point. \u00a0Being able to quickly pop into a tutor’s office or to quickly bring it up on a PC together cuts out so much description time!<\/p>\n

I also had the chance to meet some colleagues who I’ve never had the pleasure to meet before. \u00a0We worked through lots of interesting ideas and Learning Edge ‘wish lists’, tackled some little (and some bigger!) problems that staff had had and all in a very timely manner and no hot ear from being on the phone for 20 minutes!<\/p>\n

I had the company of Sheila Lewis in the admin department and the staff made me feel very welcome while I was there. I was even treated to a home-made custard cream! \u00a0(Thanks Andy!)<\/p>\n

As a result I now know the department even better than before! \u00a0They know the\u00a0areas I can help them with and hopefully the marking regime was a little easy. \u00a0In addition, I’ve committed myself to a game of ‘Marrying Mr Darcy’ one lunchtime at the end of June!<\/p>\n

If you have a particular interest in having a member of LTD stationed in your department at key times during the year, speak to your departmental LTDO (listed below) and find out if they can be on location for you to help ease any technology woes!<\/p>\n
