Project Title: Educational Egaming to Improve Student Engagement and Promote Inter-disciplinary Learning
Project Leader(s): Jamie Pringle, Luke Bracegirdle and Jackie Potter
This e-game will tap into current undergraduate so-called ‘Y’ generation interests in virtual gaming, providing a novel and complementary learning method. A multi-disciplinary approach for site investigations will be employed to deepen student’s understanding of real-world problems and their solutions. The immersive virtual egame will ensure student engagement, enhance subject knowledge and apply skills to a new situation. Project deliverables will have the e-game freely available on the internet for registered users, ability for the programmers to alter for other interested academics to utilise, disseminate results at appropriate conferences and publication of both educational and academic action research articles.
Project Title: Development, Application and Evaluation of Web 2.0 Technology to Enhance the Student Experience - Keele Student Bites
Project Leader(s): Russell Crawford, Andrew Morris, William Stockton and Steve Clipstone
This project will produce a series of student-generated video-based guided study resources dedicated to addressing issues impacting on student motivation in higher education. Students from Keele will help us design, create, shoot, edit and evaluate these novel resources, called Keele Student Bites, as part of an existing open-access Web 2.0 resource (Keele Basic Bites). These motivational resources will focus upon relevant issues of seeking help, keeping up with workloads, time management, organisation skills, homesickness and a host of other issues that impact on student learning, and in this way enhance the university experience for all students.
