Elearning summer school, Dublin Institute of Technology, Frances Boylen.
Delayed trains and errant taxi drivers caused us to miss the start of this talk. The Summer School offered to staff at DIT sounded (and from the videos looked) like an excellent week-long event at which staff could try out and discuss a wide range of approaches and technologies. It really is run like a week long conference, with one or two keynote sessions and even a dinner. Around 50 attendees from institutions in the region participate, many returning year on year. The activities are workshop based including everything from the centrally supported tools like clickers, web 2 tools (eg prezi) to social networking tools (YouTube and facebook).
We ran an elearning summer school at Bristol University successfully when I worked there. When I have suggested it I'm subsequent institutions, there were concerns about potential levels of attendance. I do think it would have to be very high standard to engage staff at that time of year. At Newcastle, we already run sessions as part of the Teaching and Learning week events. It would beinteresting to talk with other members of (NELE) To talk about how we could combine resources for something like this.
