Return to Examples of technology-enhanced learning at AU

These are links to several of the presentations captured during the most recent Learning and Teaching Action Research Conference (June 17th 2011) using AberCast. It is important that the good practice and reflections contained within them are shared amongst lecturing staff across the University, which is why we decided to record them, so they are available to a wider group of people. In the future we will also be trialling videoconferencing these sessions with Bangor University and other Universities in Wales to share good practice beyond the institution and to enable Bangor PGCTHE participants to ask questions of Aberystwyth PGCTHE participants and vice - versa.

Please click on the presenter's names in the programme below to view the lecture capture. Note that some presentations were not recorded.
