Earlier this year the first Sussex TEL Innovation Scheme<\/a> funded six projects enabling staff to develop or experiment with new tools, resources or teaching approaches with the potential to inform practice in their School or disciplinary area.<\/p>\n

Lucy Robinson and Chris Warne (History) received funding for DIY Digital: doing punk online<\/a> which involved students in the 3rd year Spring term module Post-Punk Britain. Here is the story so far…<\/p>\n

The idea<\/b><\/p>\n

Lucy and Chris\u2019s idea was for the students to use open access resources to build an online seminar on a chosen theme that connects with subcultures or post-punk Britain. The resulting resources will then be shared with students on related courses here and at other institutions.<\/p>\n

People and tools<\/b><\/p>\n

A group of MA students who had taken the module last year were recruited as mentors to support the undergraduate groups. The mentors and tutors then worked with the TEL team to identify tools and platforms that would work for the project and learn how to use them.<\/p>\n

Padlet<\/a> was chosen as a tool for collecting resources because as Lucy says, \u2018Padlet was easy to use, pretty much anything could be added to it, it could be edited by multiple users at once, and had various privacy settings.\u2019 It did, however, have limitations when it came to structuring the resulting online seminar. Tozzl<\/a> was considered for the \u2018teaching\u2019 phase, but in the end students \u2018went for the looser, messier and more organic option, Padlet. \u00a0A bit of mess and confusion in the form of the seminar seemed to map onto a lot of mess and confusion in the literature around subcultures.\u2019<\/p>\n
