Media and Learning Technologies’ Portfolio

You can now browse all the significant teaching and promotional projects which Media and Learning Technologies (CLIPP’s media service) has produced in the past three years on our Portfolio pages on the Aston University website. There’s a brief summary of each project and what we ended up delivering, as well as links to the video content itself (where possible).

I’m really pleased that we now have this resource as a testimony to what we can achieve, but it’s really just a small part of what we do. With every new project, we’re adapting and developing our skills and knowledge further, to ensure that we continually improve  the creation of high-quality learning and promotional materials which effectively reach their target audiences. Please check the Portfolio pages regularly in the future as I will be adding not only the latest completed projects as we deliver them but also some of the classic work we did between 2004 and 2008, and hopefully even earlier.

Should you need any more information – or have any comments – about any of the projects on the Portfolio pages, then please don’t hesitate to contact me on 0121 204 4232 or at n.w.birch@aston.ac.uk.

Turnitin update

There is a Turnitin update scheduled for Tuesday 24th January that will see changes to the Student homepage for users who access via the website or use our Blackboard integration.

Student Class Homepage

What is the student class homepage?

The student class homepage is the page where students go when they click on the class name in their class list (the class list is the first page they see when they log in). The student class homepage lists the assignments in the class, shows the work the student has submitted, provides access to the feedback for the student’s work, and shows links to additional class information, like the student’s grades and the class webpage link.

Why is the student class homepage being changed?

The student class homepage previously required the student to click expand for every assignment to see the work they had submitted and to access the feedback for their work. Instructors and students found this frustrating as it caused many students to have difficulties finding the feedback that was left for them.

What will the new student class homepage look like?
