My thoughtsHow can I accommodate more learning

styles?How can I make my teaching/learning more

inclusive?What can I do in the class and out of the

class?

Let’s focus on something more visual and oral

How can I do that?

Screen capture software

Screen capture softwareRecords the screen of your computer as if

you had a video pointing at it.Includes your voice.Can add real video to screen capture.Can add callouts, subtitles, arrows etc

ExampleHow it works

Massive response to ideaVideos received enthusiasticallyCreated website for the videosCurrently 350,000 visitors a yearIn surveys the number one reason for their

popularity is the fact they are ‘Visual and oralPeople can work aloneIt is self pacedFlexible

My journey begins..This has value everywhere

How can we make feedback more inclusive?

How can we make assessment more inclusive?

What about other areas?

Feedback

The idea startsFirst example just correcting grammar.Providing general

feedback to the whole classProviding feedback on vocabularyProviding feedback on grammarBegan to realise it could be applied to all

subjects and contextsFeedback on blogsLong essays on MA programme
