Reality check: Problems? What problems?

students’ task

• What problems do you have with your teachers?

teachers’ task

• What problems do you have with your students?

Warning! Avoid mentioning names, specific modules etc. that would point the finger at specific individuals! What we say should be shared in confidence!

digital storytelling

• Create mixed groups 50-50! • student uni > led by teacher • teacher uni > led by student • Leaders pick their group members Task (1h) a. share experiences b. look at the problems from the previous activity, now find

solutions together

c. if we were in charge... (students/teachers perspective)

d. share your ideas through creating a digital story

You could use: Camcorder, Storybird, Flickr (digital photographs), drawings, cartoons etc.

A problem shared is a problem halved!

Sir Michael Barber says... universities need to specialise!

• elite university

• mass university

• niche university

• local university

• lifelong university
