I really enjoyed this bite sized module. It made me think about my own practice in relation to accessibility and how I decide what teaching strategy to use.

Good for learners when collecting data or researching information whilst out on trips or working in the classroom.

Gives a general overview, useful enough.

A good set of resources suggested at the end. I re discovered menti-meter.

The current policy at Gen2 is that the use of personal devices is not permitted but it was interesting to read about how learners with learning difficulties or those that speak another language may benefit from using their own devices.

Anything that helps learning has to be a bonus.

The module gives you the information to think about using different tech to help learners

great resources, will use in future practice.

Useful module and applicable to my current area of delivery

Reasonably straight forward once you understand the format of the module.

Straightforward and accessible.

I have some very real problems with the content of this module. PDFs are most definitely not good accessibility practice. Not unless you specify that they must be created in a certain way, checked and certified as accessible especially for people who are blind or partially sighted who use assistive technology. Some of the resources similarly exclude some disabled people. For example, Wakelet is a lovely smooth visual interface but as it includes no option to upload audio it rather excludes those of us who create and use audio (yes I know you can upload videos but that is not the same thing). Some of the resources recommended are so deeply embedded in the American education system in tone and content that I wonder how helpful they can be for UK providers.
The JISC link to BOYD policies is duplicated and I would suggest out of date as it has not been updated since GDPR 2018.

Understanding the importance of Students personal Technology, they feel comfortable having there own devices with their own work platforms.

Thought-provoking, but also makes you feel that you are on the right track.

easy to follow and quick to complete

how does Google docs accessibility compare with office 365 on phones?

This sentence is unlcear:
Based on the needs and preferences learners may have, which of the following statements are more helpful and which are less helpful for learning in how learning is designed to make the best use of BYOD.

Good module. Make you think how the world has changed in that teaching and learning can happen in the comfort of your own home or on the go. Thank you!

very interesting very informative and practical

Consider access to WIFI and other IT

This module clearly explains the benefits of BYOD to all the learners especially the learners with certain disabilities or learning difficulties.

A very useful focus on the impact of delivery for learners who bring their own devices and implications for users of assistive technology. It is often overlooked when considering learners who prefer to work on their own devices.

Very good and informative module on the value of learners using personal devices to aid learning. It's certainly an area I would like to develop further in my lessons.

Great course useful information

Limited detail on accessibility issues that may be encountered and the problems that may be encountered when learners use their own devices.

Useful reminder of the benefits of BYOD for students

BYOD is the future for FE and its a great tool for teaching and learning

good information - found the extra information about apple phone accessibility and pintrest useful

Really useful links at the bottom for suggestions of other collaborative ways of working with own devices and collating content to share

easy to follow, good introduction

Some good advice on here. I also use get the learners to use their phones to complete quizzes or to find data relating to a subject.

Useful further links on device features in extra reading materials.

I lack knowledge of how to work across devices and the functionality of different devices so this was an introduction.

Concise overview of what BYOD is and its benefits.

Good module as an introduction to the brought your own devices

Very informative thank you - the poster is particularly helpful both for me and students.

I find the design of your webpages absolutely infuriating. There is no obvious 'end point' or visible sign of progress. Ironically, the webpages look great to look at but that's not reflected in its ease of use.
Content is fine.

Lack of instruction on how to finish

Learnt new elements

good module

Really nice introductory module. Made me think about interaction and using programs such as zeetings.

Better understanding of the way students can use own devices to contribute to the group tasks.

Really enjoyed, picked up a few things on the way

I'm not really sure about the answers to some of the questions - like safeguarding and privacy etc when using BYODs - could do with some more info. There seems a lot to think about here!

Interested. Need to reflect how to use with students.

This module made me think about accessibility and how learners can use their own devices in class.

I'm an advocate of BOYD, as long as you have sorted access for those who do not have or wish to bring their own device.

I use the students mobiles to complete quizzes, my first task normally is to convince the students that there mobiles can do so much more than just social media, the next stage is to get them to hook up to eduroam so they are not wasting their data on learning. I am aware that some students don't have up-to-date phones or are embarrassed by how old their technology is, so I use a quiz that crosses over to other platforms so they can use class laptops, computers and tablets. As a teacher I use my mobile to find what words mean or how to spell them in front of my students to encourage them to try. Speaking to google needs to be taught and of course they start with the funny or inappropriate but if one of them goes away with this new skill then its an achievement. QR codes are not used enough and I am going to think about how I can use them more within my classroom to encourage the students.

A great introduction for digital technology

Much better resources at the end, but still need to have this content in the body of the teaching, rather than as an extra which can be ignored.

Some good advice and ideas in the case study but I'd dispute making files available as PDF as a solution - html, googledocs, Word online etc provide better experiences on small devices..

Simple bite sized video and task. Good selection of resources for further reading.

interesting but not for my situation

A good introduction to the module.

Clear information and easy to understand

BYOD has may benefits and reflects the real world.

straight forward with good reflective activity for own delivery

The course made me realise how much I need a refresher in the subject matter

Some useful information to help support learners when they are using their own ICT systems.

It is really good that learners have their own devices and I can see the benefit of it. I have my own laptop and use it a lot however working in a prison we do not have or the learners access to their own personal devices in the education department. Devices are not allowed for residents in prison,

Thought provoking content, which allows you to establish the pro's and con's of BYOD. This is something I encourage my learners to do, but on reflection for ease of access on campus, some learners may prefer technology we provide for easier access to systems.

Finding ways to easily share resources and make them accessible is constantly evolving

A good learning and useful module

An interesting introduction to a wide range of technology that can be used to improve the learner experience.

Highly effective. Easy to access and makes some very valid points regarding accessibility. Recommended Module.

Good idea of making them bring in their own devices so that accessibility issues are resolved.

BYOD - This was good to refresh on the types of devices apprentices may use to engage and access resources during their apprenticeship. Discussing expectations with employers prior to enrolling apprentice is useful to ensure they will have access to technological devices. Whilst most apprentices will have personal devices the apprenticeship rules are that they do all of their study during work hours. Explaining to employer why we might allow personal mobile devices for delivery is important as they are often banned from using them in the workplace or there could be restrictions in certain workplace settings due to GDPR, confidentiality and corportate sensitve data e.g. using video or taking photographs.

Gave me a chance to be reflective of my own practices and how I can make them more accessible

This is a very basic module for those who may not have any teaching or conceptional understanding of BYOD.

Great way to raise awareness around learners using different types of hardware and software

Good module. Thank You.

Great video with a lot of useful resources that I didn't know about.

Informative and clear information to support learners with their own devices in classroom and how they can be used to access on line learning.

Good

Easy and straightforward

Made me think about what devices my students have access to.

Interesting, if a little short. I have to submit fifteen words to complete, so this last bit is nonsense!

This module makes you think about use of technology and device availability. In practice I am aware of the need to not only consider accessibility but also inclusivity, as we cannot take for granted that all students have appropriate devices available to them, or want to bring them into the classroom. When planning for learning, we need to take a step back at the beginning of an academic year and identify what access students have to IT and the Internet, both in college and at home and avoid the use of technology becoming a divisive issue. We need to level-up availability and ensure we have the connectivity to ensure the technology enhances teaching and learning rather than being used for the sake of it or to 'tick a box'.

Quick and easy to use and some great areas to think about.

I enjoyed learning about BYOD! Thanks.

Not sure about this one. I didn't learn anything I didn't know already. However the module would be useful for someone who is 'new' to the use of technology in lessons.

A useful module to remind me about the value of BYOD.

Allows the participant to investigate and explore the application of BYOT in the context of their own lessons or activities to maximise learner engagement and enjoyment of lesson content.

Very useful and informative.

I am sorry I have to do these modules but I work in a prison with almost no technology

Good short session - looked at the resources for further exploration and development

The narration of the video is too fast on this video. The content however is good.

Had to replay this one as didn't quite understand it at first.

It is important for us as teachers to realise that Phones have a range of functionality that is useful for learning such as internet access, communications and apps and not just for games. It is up to us to help the students use their devices for their learning

I like how quick the modules are and the videos are short and concise to get the most out of a short period of time in the day.

Covers all bases and the extra resources are really helpful. Makes you think what a learner would need access to if they brought their own technology into College!
