Student 2007
11Students - students role
- Absolutely fundamental, because we are the ones
who will be using the resources. So our input is
vital. Integral to the whole programme - I think it is pretty much the most important
thing! Having students involved in the RLO design
is the best the CETL has done - Really important - there is a big difference
between what a teacher thinks will work and what
a student thinks will work
12Tutors - students role
- they are truly created for their target
audience and students feel motivated to use them - As a tutor you tend to write an RLO based upon
what you want, which it is not always what
students want .. - Very positive. They ask you WHY and make you
think
13Students Empowerment
Being part of something that is design to help
us. The CETL really want us to contribute rather
than just saying yes, we have students. But we
are actually taking part and getting
involved. When you give suggestions and people
listen to you Would like to help students
reusing the RLOs and developing them for their
own courses - that will be fantastic!
