SESSION OUTLINE:

Group work is not always a student favourite and is sometimes perceived as unfair. This session will think about some of the issues involved in group work and how you can use WebPA to help you overcome some of these problems.

This session will look at using the WebPA system as integrated into Blackboard and we’ll also consider some experiences of Swansea lecturers using feedback from previous users (staff and students) to enhance your use.

FAQs

Where is the SALT Training Room (aka Green Room)?

The training room is on the top floor of Building 32 on the campus plan. We're opposite the Singleton Campus library - click here for instructions. Why the 'Green Room'? Come and See!

Are you offering these sessions at the Bay Campus or St. David's Park Campus?

Not at this time and videoconferencing isn't feasible due to the interactive nature of these workshops. However if you'd really like to explore some of the applications that we're covering, we'll liaise with Colleges who have staff on the other Campuses to make alternate arrangements.

I am unable to climb stairs...how else can I participate?

Unfortunately there is no lift access to the training room. Please do let us know if you have any access considerations well in advance of the session and we will strive to make alternative arrangements with you.

What should I bring to the event?

Please bring some lunch. Other refreshments will be provided.

A mobile device, preferably laptop/IPad/Tablet to enable full participation and gain the most benefit from the session. You'll find this rather dull without something ...

How does this session contribute to my Continuing Professional Development (CPD)?

Each session has been mapped against the most applicable dimensions of the UKPSF. If you're working towards Fellowship, your attendance, reflection and possible application of what you've learnt will contribute to you meeting A5 of the UKPSF. If you're already a Fellow, then it will assist you in demonstrating good standing. Don't forget to write up a reflection on the session afterwards!
