The whole idea, the premise behind the thing is that professionals, educators, learning technologists are all very busy people. The lack of time that these people have is on the up and up, the more we get digital noise and more emails and so on. The lack of time for training is a genuine issue. So is the, I suppose, in terms of training for technology and has learning tools, maybe just sorting out what is relevant to one person for their activities and otherwise. And this, I suppose, you know, trying to sort out all of these different tools, all of these different activities amongst all of that time and lack of training can lead to a lack of confidence in those people and generally kind of a poor uptake in the adoption of new tools and pedagogical approaches. So we came up with this idea called technology enhanced learning for you or tell you and the whole idea behind the thing is the premise of it is micro learning. Micro learning, small nuggets of information, usually in a media-rich way to kind of educate those people on the go in an effective way. So what we've done so far in a very quick glimpse is, we've created a cloud-based virtual learning environment, essentially a learning management system that's built on a WordPress install and the whole premise are the ideology behind this project as well as open source. So it's built on open source, the courses themselves are open source and so on. To date we have 100 courses designed and developed with 120 planned by the end of the project, the end of the project being December and that open source ideology is there all the time. Everything is Creative Commons licensed so it's attribution non-commercial and all of those courses then are sort of directed to people through these different categorisations on the site. So you have them based on activities. Now we kind of started off with this very large scope document looking at all of these different technology enhanced learning tools, all of the activities that people would be carrying out on a daily basis but whether they'd be learning technologists or lecturing staff. And we came up with the ontology where we could categorise these different activities and tools into these key sections. So they're assessment activities, peer learning activities, student-centred activities or student-centred learning activities and teacher-led activities. Each course has kind of a few key features. So they're very short because the whole idea behind the thing is a micro-learning approach, a pedagogical approach. They're media-rich so each has an animation to go with it and a number of training resources as well. And there on the right-hand side you can kind of see the common structure across all of these courses. The why should I use it? Why is it relevant to me kind of thing? How can I use it? Where can I find the app and how do I get started and just put it into context with the people? Again, coming back to the whole point that people are busy and time hungry and these courses give them something to get started. As I said, each of the courses has an animated feature so each has kind of a why should I use it animation. So that stuff is available on YouTube and is reusable as well by learning technologists and educators. On that point we have also a reusable slide deck so Rotternet is just being a kind of a passive thing and a course. Learning technologists and academics alike can use slides that are basically sort of the key points of each of these courses and they can use them and recustomise them for their own use in a classroom or otherwise. There are many ways to access the courses so again getting back to that sort of ontology, the types of activities and the interest areas you see on the right hand side, there's different interest areas that people can pick up on Rotternet started going in and just going by tool alone. One of the real key benefits we see from the project to date is in use cases. Rotternet is just focusing strictly on the learning content we've heard from people on the ground, we've heard from those lecturers on the ground that are using these different tools and new tools and they sort of inform the development of new resources as well as new courses. So use cases we see as being a really key offering of the Tell You project. People say how they're using it, how they're using it in the context and then we link them back into the courses. So as the resource develops, you can get at it by interest area, by tool or by on the ground practitioner experiences. So I'm going to hand you over to Diane who's going to talk to you about the impact of the project. Thanks, Diane. So just very briefly, was to look at this particular project and how we'd actually evaluate it. So we wanted to look particularly from an evaluation perspective to different cohorts of stakeholders who are actually targeted for this resource. So our academics and also as well those education technologies that do support academics and have a clear vision of how to embed education technology at a department faculty perspective. So we use Carpatric's evaluation model and really what we're trying to gather was four different levels was what was people's reaction to tell you? What did they learn? What was a change, any change in behaviour as a result of interacting with this particular resource? And again, what would they perceive again because we're still early days? The long term impact, what would they perceive that to be? So we used a few different methods there. We have an ongoing online questionnaire which the data is still being captured and analyzed. We ran two key focus groups with academics and other with education and tech focus. And also we also have the underpinning of Google Analytics to track the behaviour of what's going on in the site exactly. So in terms of the academic feedback from a reaction point of view, extremely positive where they were said was very quick and easy to use. They very much considered the user case, the case studies, seeing other people's practice has been very beneficial. What are other people doing maybe in a discipline that's not my own that I could relate back to what my own practice could be? Can I go out and find a bit more about that? So the reaction was very positive and as well the Irish context about it, maybe someone's up the road who I may not have met before, that's something really handy to find out. Again, our questionnaires really going to tackle data from what did they learn, did they actually benefit from a change in learning from interactive tell you. So we're still tracking our evaluation data on that. In terms of change in behaviour, the academics found real potential there for collaboration networking. They really saw tell you as an opportunity to reach out and connect with people who they may not have known before and finding solutions to on-the-ground problems that may not have they may not know the answer to in their immediate networks because they might be the innovators in their own practice. So the use cases were particularly striking there because within the microcourses was deemed very positive from the academic staff and again in terms of the long term going forward they very much welcomed the opportunity to be able to contribute further into the resource and keep it going and also to be able to have opportunities to see how can be promoted very much so on the local level amongst other institutions maybe not in the immediate partner groups and to foster that engagement and propose sustainability. Very useful. Very positive were all their immediate reaction. Credibility was the key thing there from the ed techs. The fact that the resource was of high quality written by peers within the partner institutions cited from up to date academic references so it was very credible and they could really lean on it quite well and they would see it as something absolutely that's a credible resource I could reference that to a foi support immediately in terms of the perceived benefit to their work definitely having access to resources so they don't have to go and reinvent the wheel quick and easy access the point about being able to contextualise that taking information but just maybe pivot it a bit so that it's localised to their immediate needs and maybe the tools that are quickly available to them so having access to that was particularly important and again it was a bit about the ed techs thing we really have a lot of networks in Ireland for say all for example for communicating and networking about educational technology components there and would they see it as more interactive resource rather than community led which is different from the academic perspective as well so that was an interesting point again we're going to have a list of usability things we just captured on the go to enhance the quality and we didn't know there was a strand work on the quality enhancement as well on the product so I'm going to hand it over to Anna I'm the last class over very sorry ok so in terms of how the platform and resources impact nationally to start we are looking at the feedback that Diane mentioned from the focus groups and the value of these resources to ed techs and to lecturers from this feedback and from other informal discussions that with stakeholders at conferences and things like that the outputs have been repeatedly refined so Diane was showing a list of the kind of feedback and the usability changes that can be made so looking at kind of commonalities in the feedback and the kind of critical issues that need to be addressed at a very minimum so the I don't know if the chain or Diane who mentioned the online survey it was kind of recently distributed but it's already yielding valuable insight so it's been distributed to Irish educational institutes and to the ALT community who we've always found to be very very forthcoming with feedback and kind of information so it's largely positive feedback in terms of it's potential value which is encouraging with some recommendations as well which we'll be considering in addition analytics on the platform have highlighted the increasing use of the platform over the past three months in particular which coincides with accelerated dissemination activities where over 1,000 active users in the past three months which is very encouraging as well so these activities these dissemination activities include publications and presentations from the team at various conferences from EdTech in Ireland to ALT in the UK and an upcoming presentation in Malaysia at the fourth international conference on learning and teaching which our colleague Dara is going to be presenting at next week and the project results in general are also being promoted online through Twitter, email mailing lists to EdTech and academic colleagues and also to e-learning application and software development companies which was something it was kind of a nice feature some software companies retweeting excuse me the resource as well and we've webinar scheduled to continue over the coming months as well so these activities have also resulted in some organic impressions from news and social feeds coming from a few different sources so from academic EdTech colleagues just a couple of examples there and some retweets from application developers so this is an ongoing process that allows us to continue making improvements to the platform which is key to us well development of the courses animations and supplementary material so as Shane mentioned there's 100 at the moment of courses but we need to we're going to try and reach the 120 by the end of the year so we've a couple of months left there so just quickly with regards sustainability it's kind of less about things like the cost of maintaining the platform which is relatively inexpensive because it's through cloud hosting at the moment but it's more about maintaining quality control to continue to expand and to update the available outputs so the partnership intends to build on the open source ideology that Shane mentioned as well by first looking for people who share a passion for a peer based means of creating quality materials so this is quite key so this can be done by appealing to the kind of core target audience Diane mentioned the kind of ed techs, the learning technologists and also the academics sort of through the provision of reusable and customizable content and creating something that's genuinely useful for people so for example the slide the slide decks that Shane mentioned which are quite useful for ed techs so the material is created and gathered using a templated structure as well for the courses, use cases et cetera but there needs to be a quality control to maintain the standard of material available so through the dissemination activities planned for the last few months of the project we intend to build a community of users but also leaders who are invested in maintaining the platform and expanding the outputs very quickly there just the last few seconds so at a minimum with the approval of the forum the results and outputs will continue to be made available under an attribution on commercial creative commons license which Shane mentioned to ensure that the developed results would be of use to as many people and as many units as possible in terms of what's next we only have a couple of months left but we'll be looking at more intensive piloting remaining development as Shane mentioned of the courses and animations some ramped up dissemination as well and a tightening of the platform in terms of security as well so thank you very much the national forum for this opportunity and thank you everyone for your time and your attention
