Several of the participants of Establishing a Teaching Persona, which ran for the first time last month, had the opportunity to discuss technology and teaching with one of my colleagues, Lisa Baker. Lisa is an educational technologist at City and has produced a handout to introduce you to the key technologies that you might come across whilst teaching at City: Moodle, our virtual learning environment, which is used for many things, from providing information about each module or submitting assessments to online activities; Mediaspace, our system for recording lectures or creating videos for your teaching; Poll Everywhere, a system which can be used to gather responses online from your students in class; and last but no means least, the ‘pod’ or PC set up in each classroom. If you want to learn more about the educational technologies supported at City, the Ed Tech team are running a series of workshops this term which you might want to sign up to.
