The subject was relevant to my practice and laid out some useful anecdotes/practices. The exercise for sorting the adaptations was poorly explained and confusing to complete. User interface isn't very friendly either, adds to the headache.

The suggested order of planning is great!
"Presentation software is given in class that presents teaching content: An original presentation is created.
The presentation software is reformatted by saving it as a series of images that illustrates teaching: Images in the presentation are used to illustrate module administration resources using PowerPoint.
Some of the images are chosen and added to a text or word processer document, with descriptive text added to develop the argument that increases depth of learning: Adding text to a series of chosen images taken from the presentation allows learners to explore in better detail what was previously presented. Suitable for leaners that like to reflect and consider using Word.
The descriptive text is narrated into an audio file to be listened to that reinforces learning: The text is taken and turned into a scripted conversation by the tutor as an audio file using Audacity and is shared with learners via the class WhatsApp group or through the VLE. It is enjoyed by leaners who like to learn by listening and replaying the teacher’s voice.
The narration sound file is added to other previous sound files to add to a class podcast that provides a thread of learning content across the programme: Sound files set up as a class podcast provide a sound wall of progressive learning for each leaner to follow at times convenient to them. This approach is appreciated by those that like to reflect on learning and can use the VLE to publish podcasts or post them to a Padlet wall. Files can be created using generic smartphone apps or using Audacity or Google podcasts.
A pin board is created based on the resources. Learners add comments, questions, analysis, adaptations of the learning etc. in readiness for a class discussion that accommodates sophisticated flipped learning: During and after the class discussion, individual views and thoughts are added to a Padlet wall, after the original presentation is converted into a PDF, it is also added to the wall. The wall is kept to provide ‘learning footsteps’ that start considerations by the next class to study the topic."

I like the courses provided here. But I struggle with the language used in the activities sometimes (I do have dyslexia). An example here was the use of the word "software" in this activity...the presentation file rather than the software would be clearer in my mind. The activity also presents as though you are taking the presentation apart, so I struggled to know where to place the 'presentation was placed in front of the learners in class' idea (not exact wording).

The old adage of don't re-invent the wheel! Unless the content is new to you, then you will have done it before and have resources that may or may not have worked well. In either case it can always be adapted for new learners.

I agree that the learning activity is challenging and I liked the opportunity it gives us to think about the adapting process step by step. I thought the simple transformation of existing materials really helped with rethinking pedagogical practice. The key message encouraging message is that we do not have to start from scratch!

I do not feel the instructions are very clear. Therefore, i felt confused and got the questions incorrect.

convoluted process description that made the task difficult to process. Instructions could have been more explicit.

Was an interesting start

I don't think the activity was very well explained

Good advice in order to not reinvent the hweel

Interesting

Excellent

I enjoyed this part of the module and I feel it is important that as teachers that we learn how to adapt and edit what we already have, rather than 'reinventing the wheel'

Helpful tips to save time and not have to reinvent the wheel.

Really like the idea of the students helping to adapt and edit existing resources by setting as a task.

there is a gliche, as had the texts in right order but still said I hadnt, and so had to repeat at least 6 times, when I gave up

This was a really useful badge to complete, as this is something that I will need to start doing in the near future. I have had to create curriculum at speed which has been pedagogically sound but lacks the interactive nature that I want it too. Once I have caught up with the curriculum I will revisit to enhance the way it is delivered.

This has given me some ideas on how we can use existing resources to encourage independent learning.

Enjoyed this module - interesting with great resources.

Good module looks at adapting and editing existing learning materials

I like the idea of taking apart resources and making them more multisensory (adding sound narrative) and having more learner input into the resource. I didn't like the activity, but maybe because I was incorrect. The stages seemed flexible for there to be such a right/wrong order.

Creative way of utilizing existing materials

Test was not as clear as it could have been, all down to interpretation

It would be really handy if theses modules highlighted exactly which of the professional standards they contribute towards.

This module has made me reflect on my own static practice

I didn't really understand the instructions for the activity. Sorry if just me. Liked the video

A useful resource to start the thinking process of adapting and editing current material to make sessions more engaging with content already created

Not great

Useful!

This module has given me the incentive to review some of my PowerPoint presentations to see if I can make them more interactive and interesting for my Pre/Entry, Entry-level students.
In particular, I intend to look at the 'Typeform' website as I want to see how I can incorporate online quizzes into my presentations.
Some of the suggestions are not appropriate for my students who do not have the technical 'know-how', resources, or access to a VLE platform, however, I can look at incorporating quizzes, sound files, video links etc. into my presentations. It would also be a good idea to create an audio file of any future presentation so that those students who have visual impairments or dyslexia can access the information.

Good

a good module

Recycle and reuse resources - sound could be added

Thank you. This all makes good sense. I am still struggling with knowing which digital tools are the right tools, and how they all fit together!

useful idea on rearrangement

This was information again supporting the CPD we have had at college. It is important to adapt materials to keep up with current trends.

Not really that relevant. Common sense and previous knowledge

Interesting

The unit shows that regime should be strict with order but where reflection is present this order should be fluid

Not particularly useful - as a tutor you would not necessarily adapt all your materials in the order that is suggested

Good inforven mation gi

Good ideas however practical in a variety of settings
