SCOF continues to take off

A paper about SCOF has been accepted for Ed-Media 2012 (World Conference on Educational Media and Technology) and will be presented at the conference in Denver, Colorado at 10 a.m. on Wednesday 27th June.

The tool will also be demonstrated at the annual Cass Showcase on the 22nd May, where the theme this year is ‘Efficient and Effective Feedback’.

A pilot of the tool is also about to start in the School of Informatics. This has so far highlighted numerous improvements to the tool; some of which have been added as a result.

Last Friday (19th October), City hosted a free event intended to highlight the possibilities of Augmented Reality (AR) as an aid for learning.

It is a red-letter day for all of you mathematically-minded SCOF-watchers! In response to a request from the Mathematics department, a new version of SCOF now features support for mathematical equations. These equations can be entered using the LaTeX mathematical typesetting language, or through clicking buttons on a graphical editor. This update should make SCOF much more More >

Last week I was at the annual conference for the Association for Learning Technology (ALT-C) and, while I’ll write a more detailed summary of the event (including my two presentations) soon, there was a keynote by Natasa Milic-Frayling from Microsoft Research, Cambridge that showed a very interesting Open Source add-on to Excel that is worth having its More >

Augmented Reality (AR) refers to overlaying artificial information over the real world, such as in a Heads-Up Display for fighter pilots (and some high-end cars) or a surgeon using a surgical procedure guide projected onto glasses/goggles. It is distinct from Virtual Reality in that it allows interaction with the real-world, rather than being totally immersed in a computer More >

I’ve just finished giving my presentation at Ed-media 2012 in Denver, Colorado. Despite the time of day, the extreme heat, and the wildfires raging nearby, there was a reasonably good turnout and at least one person wants to evaluate the tool further. So not a bad result! I will be adding a post to summarise More >

I’m currently at a conference and have seen something that might interest staff in SEMS. Autodesk have been creating some extremely slick and engaging videos on Sustainable Engineering topics. These include videos, slides and other resources which can be freely used for education. The resources are available at sustainabilityworkshop.autodesk.com and are well worth a More >

A tool for assessing free-form diagrams and a project getting UGs involved in real research were my highlights of HEA STEM 2012. I attended Day 1 of the HEA STEM Conference 2012 at Imperial College, on 12th April. I’d signed up because as a STEM newbie I thought it would be a useful way to More >

Continuous Engagement

A few months ago I co-hosted a workshop on strategies used here at City to encourage staff to engage with learning technology. It was quite successful and produced a list of strategies employed across the university which were all added to a filterable database that it is intended to expand with more materials such as More >
