Evaluation feedback to Curriculum team

July saw an event which aimed to showcase what the curriculum teams have achieved to date and I was able to feedback to the teams the results of initial baselining. The video below is my presentation to the teams

This event also provided an opportunity for the teams to think about how they will use the different technologies in their delivery, which in turn ensures that I can evaluate as per my plan

Learner interviews

My attempts to interview the learners were not very successful. Unfortunately, by the time I was ready to interview them, they were no longer attending classes at the college, so my plan to hold a focus group with them and to use the voting buttons came to nothing. Although I did manage to speak to a couple of them, they were reluctant to be videoed. I used a voice recorder to record our conversations, but the quality was very poor and the only voice that stands out is mine! Fortunately, this was not crucial to the evaluation.

I am going to plan my interviews and focus groups further in advance for the coming academic year and make sure that the tutors are aware of these dates, so this does not happen again.
