0900 Housekeeping Outline the objectives Start the subject People drift in Greet late arrivals and recap for them

Standard classes

Set time clearly e.g. 0845 for 0850 start Disrupt the ‘here again’ feeling Echo pre-gathered expectations

Exhaustion/Distraction

11/04/2014


Plan for it – proportionately• Expectations (pre-course)• Sanctions (contract stage)• Extension activities (they use the time)• Fresh air!

Minimising the inevitable

Used for:◦ Office work◦ Over-running course items◦ Medication – and food◦ Personal phone/media

Food break snags

“It’s a 4 day course but only 12hours in the classroom – a waste of time!”

Three main sorts:1. Outcomes/objectives v. content2. Content v. audience3. Rights/permissions

Content incompatibility

1. 90% learning design framework pre-contract

2. 10% management (more coffee!)

Time problems


11/04/2014

Back to


Your own reputation for real deadlines Structured outsourcing Concise but sufficient briefings

◦ Avoid ‘catch-all’ sets of online documents Tutor notes – looseleaf/multi-pdfs New hands to hubs, not highway Housekeeping sections early

◦ Assures people something is happening◦ Fills time as other material appears◦ Forces you to think through iconography

Consistent file naming system Clear permissions immediately

11/04/2014

Time beaters


Accreditation◦ Can take years, not days

Assessment structure◦ Activities will need redoing

Permissions◦ Drop material if necessary

11/04/2014

Time non-negotiables


Beware for:◦ multiple sites◦ re-used materials◦ overseas use◦ flipped classrooms ◦ ePub3, etc

If in doubt – ASK - and get answer in writing

Rights problems

New(ish) deliveryFlipped coursesePub3

11/04/2014


Use for: Heavy/lengthy use of online resources Reading Problem-solving in teams Case work analysis “Motivated” learners Accommodating lives and differences (Carefully) for re-engaging staff

Flipped classrooms - good

11/04/2014


Rethink when: Skills or resources are missing Staff cannot balance/support teams with

personality issues Assessment scheme is not in tune Course learning outcomes become

misaligned with programme learning outcomes

Flipped classrooms - bad

11/04/2014


Resources available? Time available? Sanctions available/necessary?

Flipped classrooms

Icing nozzles or course design◦ A place for each but not the same
