Useful resources from this week: Good things foundation – this does seem to have a lot to it but I am doubtful that it is useful to me at this point. CILIP – library and information association – again, not directly useful at this point! […]

Covid-19
One of the conversations that has been recurring for me is the “but why am I so tired” one. I’ve had it with students, and other staff, with family and with friends. The thing everyone forgets is that we’re six weeks into having a new […]
Week one: Blended Learning Essentials – embedding practice
I found that the student perspective was interesting, in light of our current situation. The quizes seem to be popular, and the ability to revisit material when they need to. Being able to deliver the same course in a number of locations at the same […]
Week five: Blended Learning –
This is a little more of a practical week, and starting off with the digital skills students need. I have been more than a little surprised at the lack of these skills in some of my students, I admit. The document above is quite a […]
Waistcoat
Next project! I plan to make a waistcoat for the husband. Now, he is a robust lad from Northern Ireland, so I had to seek some advice on adjusting. I’d got the hang of the full bust adjustment so now it is time for the […]
Week two: INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation
This session covers the standards of simulation programs compared to the INACSL’s standards. I was not familiar with these before and must find out if they are considered the ones I should be using in the UK. The lectures themselves tend to be quite difficult […]
Week one: Essentials in Clinical Simulations in Health
Part of the problems for me in this course is that it is based in the US. The education systems are different enough to make it harder to map this across to my experience. A study by Jennifer Hayden et al., completed a randomised trial […]
Week four: Blended Learning course
This is a different course but I thought I might as well use this journal for both, and perhaps for ongoing notes. This course discussed an instructional design called DADDIE – this supposedly alerts them to think about specific aspects of implementation – accessibility, inclusivity […]
Week three: Virtual Learning Environments
This is all about Virtual Learning Environments, digital tools and Open Educational Resources. I noticed that I am automatically doing some of the online things they are teaching without understanding the underpinning reasons – for example, I had directed people to forums for questions, so […]
Week two: Technologies
I’ve now completed week two – a little belatedly due to taking a week’s annual leave and spending much of that sewing and gardening. I was particularly interested in the pedagogy underpinning the technologies. I am good with technology and pick it up swiftly but […]
