I was invited by Dan Williams teacher of teachers, to deliver a digital practice session, 7 December 2022 via webinar, to his cohort of teacher trainees. He asked for my input around teaching using digital tools and perhaps discussing my book a bit, which is on their reading list. I chose the topic and title; 'Online asynchronous learning design using H5P - A #DLTAbook talk. Digital practice for the University of Derby Post-14 teacher trainees'. I emphasised how asynchronous learning opportunities are increasingly important and the skills in creating eLearning activities are required in their online teaching toolkit - and how and where to find support. Introducing a few frameworks to help them integrate this into their practice, and to consider digital at the outset when creating digital and online activities and resources. Offering further advice and resources are in Chapter 2 ‘Creating eLearning activities and digital resources’ section and Chapter 3 ‘Designing online activities’ in #DTLAbook.
There were approx. 30 students, some in-classroom and some online. All in further education and teaching a range of subjects, but pre-service so not many vocational. It looked to be an enjoyable session and generated lots of questions at the end.
Me - "Enjoyed giving a talk and demo to @FurtherEdagogy's @UoDPost14ITE #teachertrainees today. On the topic of online #asynchronous #learningdesign using #H5P. Whilst exhibiting some #DLTAbook content. Thank you Dan."
Dan Williams - "Really appreciate your support, Daniel. The trainees had lots to reflect on and think about in relation to their practice. 👍"
