Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:41:59 GMT http://dspace.jorum.ac.uk:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/15993 Learning to Teach Inclusively OER Videos in Digital Media University of Wolverhampton At the University of Wolverhampton under the Open Educational Resources Programme, jointly supported by JISC and the HEA, we are developing a multi-media open access module for HE staff - Learning to Teach Inclusively. As part of the project we are sharing series of video clips. Reflexivity in academic practice, requires us to be conscious of our own positions, beliefs and assumptions. In the classroom, reflexivity is about being aware of the influence of our own identities on our practice and on student learning. It is being mindful that our materials, resources, anecdotes, etc. not only relate to the subject, but that they are also sensitive to the diversity of the students. Being sensitive to the diversity of the students in the group requires flexibility and adaptability in the immediate learning situation but it also requires us to anticipate and prepare for a range of diverse requirements at the planning stage. There are two sets of video clips I this collection. The first set is taken from a classroom session that illustrates reflexive, responsive, sensitive and anticipatory practice. The second set of clips are taken from a post session discussion between the students, the teacher and support workers in this session on the issues of working with culturally and linguistically diverse groups. The classroom session was from a module in Video and Film Production designed to raise students’ awareness of accessibility issues experienced by blind TV, film and video audiences. The activities have been crafted in a way that enables all students to engage and participate fully. The task set is to create an audio description of a section of film for blind audiences. Students are required to listen to the opening of a film without seeing it, and to describe in writing what they hear. This simulates for sighted students what a blind audience might experience. They are then shown the film and, with the benefit of vision, they are then asked to revise their written descriptions in groups. Finally, selected groups read their audio descriptions aloud in time with the action as the film is playing. This task requires heightened observation and listening. It is particularly challenging for one of the groups. One of the four students in this group is Deaf and two others are international students whose first language is not English. The teacher anticipates that the Deaf student (Jack) will need a reasonable adjustment (a transcript of the dialogue from the film) in order to participate fully in the exercise. She also liaises with the note taker and British Sign Language interpreter in advance of the session so they can think about how they can best facilitate Jack during this activity. Clips 01 to 04 from the classroom session set the scene for this activity and show the first stages of students working independently and as a whole group. How effective and inclusive are the adjustments for Jack? In the second stage of the activity small groups of students are creating an audio description for the first 5 minutes of the movie. During this stage the teacher facilitates the groups but she notices that some members of one of the groups seem a little quiet and withdrawn (see clip 05 from the classroom session). How effective is the teacher’s intervention? What would you do here to encourage greater interaction between students? What do you notice about her body language? The remaining clips from this session (07 & 08) show the ways in which the teacher facilitates the co construction of meaning within a small group (note here her physical position and her use of questions to encourage thinking rather than leading or telling). The final clip shows the culmination of the activity in a plenary where students share their scripts for open discussion and critique. The students appear at ease with each other and comfortable with articulating their ideas publically, giving and receiving feedback. In the second set of clips the teacher, support staff and students reflect on this task and the issues it raised for them in their respective roles. Issues covered in this discussion include benefits and challenges of working in culturally and linguistically diverse groups, Deaf awareness, teacher development, understanding different cultural norms, coordinating and interaction between diverse groups.

This resource aims to provide an overview of the wood engraving process using the large number of objects related to Pre-Raphaelite illustration in the Birmingham collection. These items include preliminary drawings, woodblocks, printed proofs and the final illustrations. The collection offers a unique insight into the various stages of the wood engraving process and the relationship between the artists and the wood engravers who translated their designs into carved woodblocks. Although the collection is rich in objects relating to several of the Pre-Raphaelites this resource examines the work of two artists whose careers as illustrators are particularly well documented by the collection: Ford Madox Brown (1821-1892) and Frederick Sandys (1828-1904). Each stage of the wood engraving process will be outlined using visual sources from the collection.

Volunteering in schools for Visual Arts students has the additional impetus of developing their practice, honing their skills through dissemination and creating contacts for future clients within the community arts and educational sectors. Working outwith the traditional undergraduate classroom structure, as well as literally outwith the university, students will both need and benefit from designated forms of support. The awesomeadventures wiki will act as an ongoing resource to support the students' project development, encourage their reflection on the role the visual plays within society and engage them with their responsibility as image-makers. Community Arts Projects have a long history of incorporating the visual alongside the performative. The rise-and-fall-and-rise of media (arts) studies in schools is reflected in the call for creativity to be integrated across curriculums. Visual Criticism and Pedagogical Theory are increasingly engaging with the potential of emerging technologies. Lens-based equipment manufacturers are using the web to further their corporate identity and increase demand through publically accessible ‘educational’ sites. All are rich sources for research, development and reflection for students in their volunteering as well as their consideration of future employment and outlets for visual practice.

They search for answers and collect images within the final groups demarcated within the morning session. Around 48 hours later the cohort re-assembles at Marchmont, and individual groups edit their collective visual findings into a slide show. Late afternoon the cohort convenes within the (small) Lecture Theatre where the answers are revealed, discussions take place and groups come clean on how many correct answers thy achieved. Each group (there are 6-8 groups of 7-9 students each) then steps to the front, introduces themselves and presents their slideshow ending with their portraits of each other to further the introductions. Programme Staff – Academic, Technical and Support are invited, along with upper year cohorts, to a reception in the gallery space next to the Lecture Theatre (where images can continue to be projected, re-edited, played with).

Students need to engage with the history of the media, be critically aware of the socio-political impact of the visual and take responsibility for their own production. Traditionally the introductions to visual histories have had seminar presentations and essays as their assessment tasks. To widen the students’ world-view and create more tangible links with practice the presentations and essays were underpinned with a Reading Diary: Reading Diary: The photographic image has long been integrated within contemporary culture and has become integral to an understanding of contemporary society as well as playing a crucial role in reading history. Over the trimester find and copy into your diary a minimum of 5 examples from fiction (novels, magazines) where the photograph(s) plays an active role in the narrative. Research and record an article/chapter of critical/historical writing that you feel addresses the foremost issues drawn from the excerpts/examples. The Reading Diary is introduced in week 1, supported with examples on webCT, re-viewed in the weekly seminars and act as research towards their essay: Essay: The photographic image is both persuasive and suggestive in myriad ways. It can often be found playing an integral part in contemporary society as well as culture from evidence in a trial, to creation/perpetuation of stereotypes, to the dissemination of social narratives. Drawing from your Reading Diary, as well as your presentation, choose a photographic genre, trace its history and discuss its impact upon our engagement with/understanding of contemporary society. Concurrent with this the students are developing their practice-based research methodology through creative workbooks within a parallel module.

The students individually present their proposal, using technology(ies) of choice, to their peer group. The Feedback for this component had 2 parts: the first was a FlipVideo file of their performance, the second was an MP3 file from me giving feedforward on their performance as well as their proposal. The intention was to post the MP4 file to the student along with the audio feedforward. Posting the MP4 files proved undoable within WebCt. Students easily accessed the audio feedforward but very few sought to download, from me, a copy of their video file. Later on in the trimester the students take part in an assessed 1 week editorial brief that is in-part delivered/submitted professionally through the web in digital form. I took the opportunity to again give audio feedback for its timeliness and appropriateness of form as well as reinforcing the use of variable technologies for the students.
