Evaluation of the sessions

What I like from the sessions:

1. Student-student interaction and teacher-student interaction rather than just directly explains the concepts to students/learners.

2. Able to learn new technologies (for example, wiki, blogs, and so on).

3. More understanding on the SOLO taxonomy and 80:20 principle.

4. Importance of obtaining feedback from the sessions that you taught therefore we will have more knowledge on how to plan the session more effectively.

5. Lecturers (Jane, Kate, Nuddy) explain the concepts very clear, and they gave us good guidance and advises on the assessment.

6. Food and drinks available for all of the sessions.

Suggestions from the session:

1. Probably best to explain further on how to create a blog/wiki in the earlier sessions as a lot of people in the class still have trouble of creating an e-portfolio for their assessment in session.

2. Due to the space limitation it is very difficult for the class to carry out group discussion in NQ106, and large number of students in the classroom which leads to higher level of distraction and noise. It is probably better if we have the session in a bigger classroom (for example, A302).

3. It is probably better to upload the session handouts/powerpoints to eMIT the day after the session therefore we will have more idea on how to prepare our e-portfolio based on the session handouts/powerpoints.

What would I use in my teaching:

1. Include some fun activites for my teaching sessions instead of direct explaniation.

2. Ask the student to leave if he/she is too noisy.

3. Have more confidence when I am teaching.

4. Ask the feedback from students at the end of each library session that I teach. Therefore I'll have more idea on how to plan and teach the sessions effectively.

5. Building relations with the learners by knowing their names (for example, ask them to have name tags in the class).

6. Ask the early finishers to help the late comers, and ask the young learners to work with the elderly learners (which the elderly learners can learn from the young learners).
