Encouraging staff engagement January 14, 2010
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackbackAs staff are still familiarising themselves with tools within our VLE “NOW” – as it has only been live for just over a year, the learning object repository is probably a bit down their list of tools which they would consider using within learning and teaching, so at the moment we are thinking about ways we can encourage staff engagement.
In February we will be having a Buzz Lunch (exchange of information, think buzz marketing - word of mouth marketing ), where there will be presentations from two of our pilots and an early adopter. There will be an opportunity for those attending to discuss and ask questions, and all staff within the University will be invited.
Learning Object Repository training has been embedded within our training schedule, which already includes training on other tools within the VLE, such as, discussions and assessment. We also have a test course and test repository so that we can easily demo the tool to colleagues and this also enables staff to have hands on experience of the LOR withing training sessions.We are also designing a leaflet which will be a poster on one side and will have information about the LOR on the other side, and we are getting a pen designed that promotes the LOR, these we can give out at training and dissemination events. We also want to capture some case studies of staff using the LOR.
Finally, we want to get early adopter colleagues, who are already using the LOR and are part of the project, involved in the roll-out of the LOR within their Schools and Services, as staff appear to be far more receptive to this integrated approach.
