RSCtv - A Byte of Lunch

lunctime online webinars

The 2012 schedule of lunchtime online webinar presentations is available now. Starting in February, we will be chatting with staff from Scottish FE & HE institutions, talking about thier innovative projects that have been compiled through our Case Studies initiative. Webinars will last for 30 - 45 minutes.

The online presentation technology is called Blackboard Collaborate, browser based software, which combines video/audio, text chat, slides and screen sharing capabilities to produce a media rich environment. The software enables delegates to interact with the presenters and provides opportunitites to ask questions and give feedback to the presenter in real time. To particiapte you need nothing more than a network enabled PC or Mac running an up-to-date browser.

"This was a great way of training without having to leave your desk."

"Enjoyed it not just for the content but for the way it was delivered."

Future RSCtv Live Broadcasts

Case studies about how learning technologies are being used around the institutions in Scotland are a great way of sharing the knowledge and experience that's gained with others in the sector. Join in our online sessions to find out how intitiatives have progressed and ways in which your organisation can benefit from others working in FE & HE in Scotland.

30th May: Case Study: InfosmART: Research Skills for Art and Design Students - Glasgow School of Art Library.
There was a real need for information skills training within the student body and GSA Library staff rose to the challenge by producing InfosmART. Through the use of these easy-to-use and engaging interactive courses, readers learn how to develop and improve their individual research and information handling skills. Sign up to this RSCtv to hear how Duncan Chappell and the team from GSA have moved InfosmART from being a little idea to a multi-award winning tool that is now freely available to all FE and HE institutions!

20th June: e-Safety for vulnerable learners: What do you need to know to keep your learners (and yourself) safe?
We all have an obligation to safeguard the welfare of learners, especially when using technology in learning and teaching. There are however a variety of legal issues to consider within the e-safety context, including cyberbullying, harassment, defamation and data protection. It is important therefore for staff to consider the management of these risks in order to both safeguard vulnerable learners (and staff), whilst at the same time encouraging and promoting independence. This can be difficult and often takes place with no definitive solutions.
JISC Legal will be delivering an online session based on your questions, your concerns and your issues in relation to e-Safety and e-Responsibility.
