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The JISC link to BOYD policies is duplicated and I would suggest out of date as it has not been updated since GDPR 2018.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

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!

Not yet relevant to our learners at HMP Coldingley.

pdfs are fairly universal, but they are not necessarily accessible. Unless some effort is made to ensure that everything that can be done to make them accessible is done, they aren't great and it is quite difficult to retro fit accessability to a badly constructed pdf.
For example making text into an image, forgetting to include heading styles
The idea of stating the method required being bad, was a bit ambiguous. You can't test somebodies knowledge of using the iterative method if you don't tell them to use the iterative method of solving the equation. What tool they use to carry out the iterative method is an entirely different thing. Stating the method - maybe re -write as stating the tool to use.

This module was useful, however, my learners always use their own devices weather in campus or remotely.

Interesting

Short and quick to understand

.

This gave some good examples on the video. I had to look into areas further to answer the questions properly as I kept getting one wrong, but this shows where I need to learn. Good topic

Provides an understanding of the value and use of personal devices in learning and interacting is a good induction activity and an important part of learning for life and work. Sharing and loaning equipment can support learners who don’t want to or can’t or don’t wish to use their own devices.

Really good ideas around utilising softwear that learner's can access on their own devices, making learning more comfortable and accessable

Some great tips on accessibility.

I enjoyed working through this, being able to go back and read up and get it right, making it stick in my mind.

This module has reminded me of the need to ask learners which devices they are using during online lessons before the session stars to enable tutors to have the necessary help to hand if they run into a problem. This will save us time in our already short 2 hour sessions

Enjoyed the video, gave me some confidence in learners using their own devices

👍

Helpful

simple and to the point - good info on PDF rather than Word documents was interesting

Whilst it is important for learners to be able to bring their own devices, you are reliant on their skills to use it. A teacher can not be expected to be an expert in all.

Informative

A good session that enabled me to reflect on the benefits of why a learner my bring their own device to a learning session. I do feel that some sentences could be more concise.

Interesting snapshot of how I could lean on the learners to use their own devices. Need to look into software that I could use for this such as Kahoot, where I can make it an interactive environment.

Good start module

Good content and lots of information on how to BYOD. It is very inclusive of all learners.

I watched a video and then I answered a question in regards to students own devices

Good.

Good Course

very good 5 stars

great

a helpful insight into BYOD

This was very interesting.

Nicely presented and simply explained.

Good references to support in remote accessibility.

Useful and informative, although the way to indicate the completion of the module was not obvious or intuitive. However, this was a useful introduction to the topic and the mechanism of the training itself.
