Research Methods - Tulip subsite

I've been working with Allegra Cattani and a research student called Halina Kalaga in producing a Research Methods site. The aim is to have a central resource for students to get advice upon research and to be able to discuss and give feedback about the resource to Halina or Allegra.

Tandem Exchange Online is a language exchange scheme developed by Jackie and Flea Palmer which allows two students with different native languages to communicate together as a pair.

Collaborative Working Spaces - Engineering Using SharePoint

The working spaces were created by Rebecca Vickerstaff (formerly Allen) Faculty of Technology Learning Technologist. The brief was to see what could be done to support final year engineering students in working collaboratively on project work. To support this and keep it within the supported University system 9 sub sites were set up in SharePoint.



How this was done:
Nine sub sites were set up, nine groups were then created to give the student group contribute access to the area.

Each site had a discussion board, document uploading area, picture library, task list, calendar, links and announcement area. To assist the students in using an unfamiliar system some help resources and embedded them into the site for them.



To finish the project, links to the areas were included from their portal home page using the summary links web part. An announcement giving the students instructions was also included.

CD for Direct Entrants - Computing

This CD was created by Rebecca Vickerstaff (formerly Allen) Faculty of Technology Learning Technologist as a resource for direct entrants to stage 3 to help them with their final stage projects. It contains a number of files that support the direct entrant students in their final project and auto runs.

The CD was created using Dreamweaver 8 and Fireworks.

Public Engagement Coastal Engineering Website

This website was created by Rebecca Vickerstaff (formerly Allen) Faculty of Technology Learning Technologist to target A Level students and to highlight the work within Coastal Engineering and to gain future students and research interest. The site itself was created in Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Dreamweaver and benefits from the use of templates, library items and breadcrumbs to make navigation easier. The site has now been handed over to the relevant academics who will be populating it fully in due course.

IT Induction online session

SSB Specialist IT Team (Pauline Framingham, Liz Thomson, Faculty Learning Technologists Rob Giles and Jackie Palmer) produced this online IT induction session to introduce new students to the University of Plymouth's computing system. It is available as an online resource on the web at www.ssb.plymouth.ac.uk/itinduction
It includes an introduction to the University of Plymouth desktop, software and student portal including demonstrations.

Mentorship update 2008

Produced by Stephen Hodge & Samantha Barrington (HSW web developer)

Whilst HSW students are on placement they work alongside Mentors approved by the Strategic Health Authority to make sure the students aren't doing anything outrageously wrong etc. The idea behind the Mentorship Update is an annual update for Mentors in the field to ensure they are kept update with what the students are being taught and likewise.

This project is sent out to mentors as an Interactive CD however hopefully this will be the last year of it in a CD format. Since it should really be in an online format... I've written enough I'll let the pictures and the resource do the talking:







Online resource, UOP Login needed.

This has been my first project as a LT so would appreciate any feedback.
