Challenge 1• Need to communicate to commencing undergraduate students in

NC2012• Need the communication to be attractive, engaging and consistent

across the University

Tools

• Created series of short videos/Powerpoints on – Structure of the new degrees– Majors in the new degrees

• Embedded these in Unistart website for new students

Ideas: good and bad …

• How to engage the listener?• Vokis? Too goofy, too hard to embed into Powerpoint

• Use contrasting voices to create a conversation – between a student and a student adviser

• How to make it look attractive, but still corporate?• Used explosions, arrows etc

• Used Prezzi - didn’t detract from the branding but made the page a bit more interesting

Lessons for the future• The technology is the easy part! Getting staff to use it effectively is

the challenge• There is a residual reluctance to record lectures online• Be creative – there is (nearly) always a solution – use alternative

formats where necessary…
