Feedback from participants

The programme is built around a facilitated online community, e-assessment, mobile learning and action research. The reflections below describe how that mix felt in practice for the people taking part.

“Working in an online community meant my own classroom became the place I tested ideas, rather than somewhere I simply read about them.”

Student reflection

“The action research strand gave structure to questions I had been carrying around for years. Each cycle sharpened the next.”

Student reflection

“Mobile learning and e-assessment fitted around a full teaching week, so progress never depended on being in one room at one time.”
