Helen Varley | Accessibility; more than just ramps and large print. Who needs to be aware of accessibility and what needs to be accessible? How does this impact the YSJ community?
We will discuss the importance of accessibility, some of the software available on campus, as well as how some students may access materials such as using screen readers which support students with note-taking, reading, planning and writing |
Exploring and practising using the technologies / developing content for 21/22 which signposts to support available.

|
Use techniques to enhance current engagement practices, work with a module colleague. Discuss how best to work with Mentimeter in online as well as f2f teaching and gather feedback from your students over time to enable you to judge the impact on their engagement and learning for your L&T Partnership. |
| ‘Talk about’/SGP:
Mixed-discipline practice: feedback to students |
Hosted by Katy Bloom & Caroline Elbra-Ramsay | What can different disciplines and subjects share about their approach to giving students feedback? How do they perceive it? What do they do with it?
We will discuss ways to help students understand their feedback more and approaches that encourage an expectation that they engage with their feedback for subsequent work. |
Consider using the interactive feedback sheets, tailored to our disciplines. What feedback dialogue can you develop with your students? Can this be captured through personal or academic tutorials? Reflect on how you might use evidence sources to monitor impact on student practices and outcomes, as well as on your own practice. |
