Educational technologies: coordinating and running

This session is about continuity and sustainability. Developing educational technologies takes time and thought, so you want to make sure they do not depend on your personal involvement in them. Drawing on UCL case studies, this session will outline and discuss approaches to coordinating academic and professional services colleagues to produce outputs which can be readily understood by your successor if, say, you go on leave, or yourself down the line when you're preparing for a new intake of students. We will discuss some principles and practices towards this. Bring your laptop or tablet (if you have one) with an example of your work. In small groups we will engage in a peer dialogue activity in order to give and receive feedback on this aspect of your work.

This is a recommended session for CMALT candidates relating to Core Area 4 (Communication and Working With Others).
