As part of #LDBOOTCAMPUK, we'll explore what we in the @OU_LD_Team call the 'student journey': how all the activities and experiences in a module fit together. Here's a great primer on getting started from our learning designer @KathR open.ac.uk/blogs/learning-de…

Great to share the stage with OU colleagues @SelenaKillick, @R3beccaF and @familyhistorysh on a webinar for @Independent_HE earlier. Some excellent points about breadth of library services from @SelenaKillick and online pedagogies such as teachback from @R3beccaF

Two articles of @OU_APD team @Julia_Sargent @DrBartRienties in one day! Both trying to get a better perspective of how our students are learning, and how we as professionals can help to best support them... tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

An important principle of our work is partnership with students, A key way we learn from them is through our award-winning #CurriculumDesign #StudentPanel: ow.ly/rSNW50A8PNC

Does the use of #LearningAnalitycs to improve #LearningDesign work? We believe it does and have been finding evidence of its impact. See one of our most recent publications (in English and Spanish) here: revistas.uned.es/index.php/r… #eLearning #LearningOnline

Although a growing number of students make use of social media, this doesn't always extend to use beyond friends and family. How do you ensure these students are not missing the content you share through these channels? #OnlineLearning #learningDesign
A group of 95 students told us about their social media habits in relation to study. 21 reserve social media for friends and family. Added to 23 who don't use social media at all, this leaves only 54% reachable through this channel.

This new normal does keep us all on our toes - meetings over the past couple of days in skype, teams, goto meetings, adobe connect. Is there a complete set we can get a badge for?!
