Convenors: Jonathan Louw and Jane PritchardWith virtual and augmented realities (AR) increasingly mainstream (especially now!), we are exploring how they can help us enhance our teaching and research engagement capacities and enable a much larger cross section of the faculty to gain essential skills in AR. The two core parts of 'augmented visions of research' (AVR) in the Faculty of Technology, Design and the Environment are:
The WebVR Showcase: A series of six virtual ‘scenes’, each tailored to the research project being featured;
The ‘Zapworks’ Pilot: A suite of individual user accounts offering a broad group of staff and students a foundational experience of designing and publishing AR content.
A remote workshop designed to help you create an academic poster. A talk through each slide with accompanying transcript of the audio narration also provided so that you can return to it at any time; it also includes links to the posters that are discussed. Workshop content was designed by MA in Education students and adapted for online access.
The Panel will introduce and reflect on the rapid (agile) design and development processes leading to the Brookes Framework for Ensuring Digitally Enabled Programmes. This flexible and adaptable framework is designed for use by programme teams: adaptable to the nuance of the moment (new lock downs?) and disciplinary norms. In developing the Framework, Anne Marie Kilday and the Sustaining Teaching Online Working Group have taken into account national government policy (Office for Students) and recent staff and student surveys on the Semester Two online transition experience. The Framework will help teams plan for a mix of face to face, blended and distance learning at Brookes next year, and builds on good practice across the sector. The Panel will outline the key dimensions of the Framework, identify preparations needed over the summer of 2020, indicate where the "one stop shop" for relevant help and resources will be located, and take your questions. (A further launch webinar is also scheduled for 15 June, and will be accompanied by faculty level events to support implementation).
