enhanced learning strategy and to delegate tasks across the team.

Key principles
Purpose of TEL on the
programme
Things to consider:
How does Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) integrate with
timetabled classroom sessions to provide a designed blended
approach?
How does the use of technology support the programme learning
outcomes and future prospects of students?
Is the rationale and expectations of staff and students clear for all
elements of TEL being used across the programme (Moodle,
audio/video, classroom interaction, assessment, etc.)
How do different routes through the programme (e.g. MMU oncampus, distance, at partner institution) utilise TEL?
Is there anything you’d like to highlight as particularly good,
interesting or creative practice?
Moodle
Things to consider:
Do all units use the same basic structure for their Moodle areas,
and have key content items such as handbooks in the same place?
How is this structure designed and supported? How is information
about the use of Moodle and expectations on its use
communicated to students?
What is the programme policy on using electronic submission,
marking and feedback for assignments?
Other technologies
Things to consider:
What is the programme policy on recording face-to-face sessions,
providing podcasts, linking to e-resources?
Is there a standard approach (eg use of a standard template for
handouts or slides, or particular colour schemes if appropriate)?
If any classroom interaction technologies are being utilised, how is
this communicated to students so they know what they require?
What support needs to be in place for both staff and students to
make best use of technology-enhanced learning?
Is someone responsible for co-ordinating staff support and liaising
with the Faculty Technology Enhanced Learning Adviser? Who?
Support
How are student support issues identified and addressed, and by
whom?
Scope of annual review of
Technology-enhanced learning.
For example, you might decide to consider:
Was there any good practice which could be documented in the
Course Improvement Plan or signalled to the CELT Good Practice
Exchange? Or LRT Pedagogical or Technological Case studies
Did any particular use of technology give rise to unusual or
sustained problems for students or staff?
Are there any issues which need to be followed up with IT Services
such as software, hardware or infrastructure requests or
problems?
Are there any issues which need to be followed up with the
Library, such as access to electronic resources?
Are there any issues which need to be followed up with the TEL
Adviser for the faculty, such as introduction of new technology,
staff development or advice on the use of Moodle or other core
MMU TEL tools?
Are there any issues with student enrolment or access which need
to followed up with Faculty Student and Academic Services
(Programmes Office).
Is any further staff development needed? If so, who will organise
this?
Actions resulting from annual review of TEL would normally be
recorded in the Course Improvement Plan as part of the
Continuous Monitoring and Improvement process.
Integrating other enhancement activities
Opportunities for observation and enhancing teaching practice with this plan:


Peer review of TEL resources such as Moodle areas, podcasts, online workbooks, etc.
Observation of online course delivery
Opportunities for student partnership development with this plan:



Review of student satisfaction data and comments relating to TEL
Discussion with course representatives about the use of TEL on the course
Encouraging and supporting students to produce TEL resources which might be used on the
programme
