Welcome<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this issue, we scare up some nightmarish news, terrifying tips, drag the lake for resources, and share what we have been doing last summer, all to help improve your Digital Teaching, Learning, and Assessment practice. Why not try out this Halloween quiz with your students<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dracula\u2019s Feedback Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want your blood!<\/s> I mean, we are keen to hear your feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After last month\u2019s feedback question, it was fantastic to see 33% of people are already embracing the use of ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we were wondering why 32% of you are not using ChatGPT and not planning to. What are the barriers for you to adopt this new technology and how can we help you overcome them? We really would like to find out why so please tell us by emailing Digital<\/a> Learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime why not read our useful blog post<\/a> and watch our video on Getting Started with ChatGPT<\/a> to get up to speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month\u2019s supernatural survey focuses on the diabolical digital tools you are using with your students. Select the image below to take part in this month\u2019s survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nightmarish<\/strong> News<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"AI<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The College is committed to providing support and guidance for staff and students to help them embrace the use of AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is essential that you are familiar with our Assessment<\/a>, FE plagiarism<\/a> and HE Miscoduct<\/a> policies to help you to prepare for delivering assessments. Available to you and your learners on our Student Helpdesk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To support students, we have created An Introduction to Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/em> LearnZone page. You can find pages for FE<\/a>, HE<\/a>, plus some additional AI Guidance<\/a> on our helpdesk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please contact Dan Vaughan<\/a> with any concerns regarding AI misconduct or guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto Enrol Closed for FE LearnZone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"FE<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Students can no longer auto-enrol onto FE LearnZone course pages.
If your students did not access your pages before October, you will now need to manually enrol them onto your LearnZone Pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out how in our blog post<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terrifying Tips & Rotten Resources<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Forms Best Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In our most recent blog post<\/a> we go through the best practice for setting up Microsoft Forms, no matter whether you work in curriculum or business support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By utilising a Teams site and Excel spreadsheets, make sure you are creating and managing Forms the correct way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out more in our blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LearnZone Lightbulb<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"FE<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Feedback from students shows that sometimes LearnZone pages can become too long, making the current topic resources difficult to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make sure your students can easily find the topic you are currently on, ensure it loads first when students arrive on the page by using the Highlight Lightbulb feature.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The Highlight Lightbulb can be found at the top of the page under the topic title, next to the delete, hide and move topic buttons. By selecting it, it will add a \u2018Current\u2019 bar across the top of the page, and add a dot with the word \u2018Current\u2019 next to the topic in the list of topics to the left of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now instead of loading the Introduction page, it will take them straight to the highlighted topic so they should never struggle to find your resources again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shortcut Tip of the Month<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Microsoft Word, if you press Ctrl + Enter<\/strong> it will create a new page, why not give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Know What\u2019s Happened Last Summer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

These past months we have been very busy squirreling away on projects which we hope to launch very soon. Topics including AI, Teams, and other teaching tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep an eye out on the blog for when all will be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VR in education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you or your team are interested in how VR could be beneficial to teaching and learning, or know of an app you want to try with your groups, don\u2019t hesitate to get in contact<\/a>. We can investigate the app and set up a practice session with teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
