One of the key barriers for institutions is the lack of staff awareness with regard to accessibility, which is compounded by a resource-scarce environment: lack of time and money. This chapter describes the development and planned deployment of a module in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) at Queen Margaret University College (QMUC), Edinburgh.Item From pioneers to partnerships : the changing voices of staff developers(Swets and Zeitlinger, 2003-01-01) Littlejohn, A.; Peacock, Susi; Seale, JaneThe aims of the book are to use the topic of institutional implementation to present a review of the impact of learning technology on tertiary education over the past few years; and to highlight and discuss key changes and developments that are shaping present and future activities and consider the implications for individual enthusiasts who work in the field of learning technology. The book outlines the context in which individual enthusiasts have operated and institutional implementation has occurred over the last ten years.;Four key themes are highlighted throughout the book: the individual enthusiast and their role in institutional implementation; the institutional enthusiast and their role in local and global e-learning initiatives; finding the evidence to justify enthusiasm and underpin implementation; and reinventing the individual enthusiast.Item Developing e-learning provision for healthcare professionals' continuing professional development(IDEA, 2006-05-15) Peacock, Susi; Dunlop, G.; O'Donoghue, JohnThis book enumerates the difficulties in implementing technology within the educational curriculum in the context of institutional policy and procedures--Provided by publisherItem Effective use of VLEs in supporting staff to implement E-Learning(2005) Peacock, SusiItem Engaging staff and students in the development and deployment of a departmental website : a review(Australasian and New Zealand Association for Medical Education, 2004-11) Peacock, Susi; Adamson, S.; McKenzie, Jane; Williams, K.Introduction: This paper discusses the development, deployment and evaluation of a website for an academic department, built around a customised webtemplate. We draw upon a two-year, co-ordinated initiative between the Dietetics, Nutrition and Biological Sciences Department and the Centre for Academic Practice at Queen Margaret University College. Initially we provide a brief overview of the issues involved in using web-based technologies from the student and staff perspective. We then describe the process of setting up the site and present the results of the evaluation. Results and Conclusions: We address the emergent issues raised by the project. For staff these include ease of use and the provision of a variety of support mechanisms. These are critical for long-term engagement and sustainability since they reduce the risk of distancing staff from their materials and encourage ownership of the website. Students use the website for preparation for lectures, as signposts for further research and reflection. Key barriers relate to access, systems stability and commitment of support departments. To address such concerns an institutional approach is proposed to provide long-term support.Item Roundtables: learning through collaboration(Scottish Further Education Unit (SFEU), 2002) Oliver, M.; Kemp, Catriona; Peacock, SusiItem Flashlight online : an evaluation toolkit(ASSOCIATION FOR LEARNING TECHNOLOGY, 2002-10) Kemp, Catriona; Peacock, SusiFlashlight Online is part of the American Association for Higher Education, Teaching Learning and Technology Group's (TLTG) Flashlight Program (http://www.tltgroup.org/programs/ flashlight.html). The core of Flashlight Online is the Current Student Inventory (CSI); a bank of approximately 500 ready-made questions that can be used to create an online survey. The questions are designed to help institutions obtain relevant information about common issues relating to learning technologies and their use. Academics, staff developers and learning technologists can select questions, creating surveys which can be edited using Dreamweaver. Surveys can include the author's own questions as well as ones taken from the question bank. In addition, it is possible to change the font size and colour and tailor the background of the survey form.Item Tutors' attitudes to implementing ePortfolios.
