On 20th January Lyn Greaves and Andy Turner presented a webinar as part of the JISC e-Learning Programmes strand. Slides, audio and a recording of the Blackboard Collaborate session can be found at http://elearningprogs.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2012/01/23/listen-or-watch-again-outputs-from-jisc-alle-session/

Participants at an HEA Discipline workshop held at the University of West London were delighted to have an exceptional presentation from 1^st year undergraduates on the BA Business Studies. Joanna, Ayman and Sunny, having literally just finished their first semester, wowed the audience with their digital literacy and presentation skills.

We have produced an A4 flyer summarising the work of the ALLE project.

Click on the image below to open this flyer as a PDF.

ALLE is an exciting 12 month JISC-funded Learning and Teaching Innovation project led by the University of West London (formerly TVU) with London Metropolitan University (London Met). This project is creating and evaluating a scaffolded digital learning literacy environment, which will enable learners to embark on an interactive learner journey, using reusable learning objects, supporting their learning and literacy acquisition.

New and existing interactive materials have been brought together in a cohesive and structured framework enclosed in a wraparound shell.  The final resource will be designed for repurpose and evaluation across a range of authentic contexts (e.g. workplace, community or placement).

If you would like to use the Journey as it is with your students feel free to use the link - see the ‘Project Output’ page. If you would like to customise the Journey or possibly create different materials to put in your own version please contact me at lyn.greaves@uwl.ac.uk to discuss how we can support you in this.
