This is a ‘vodcast’ (a conversation with visual clues) between Vicki Dale and Karen Thompson talking about virtual placement research process. It will link to an article recently published by Thompson and Dale (2022) which covers themes including self-regulated learning, thematic analysis and its shift to reflexive thematic analysis, working from home, taking a studio perspective online and lessons learned.

Craig Alexander, Colette Mair, Eilidh Jack

In this podcast, Colette, Craig and Eilidh discuss their experiences on designing and managing an online distance learning programme in Data Analytics. They share their findings on the characteristics of ODL learners, and how they differ from similar on-campus programmes. They also discuss some considerations at the design stage of an ODL programme and how materials and assessment can be delivered with the use of digital technology and the expertise of a learning technologist. Finally, they discuss some challenges during their time running the programme and suggestions for those interested in setting up their own ODL programme.
