Experiment title: Using OneNote to creating a work portfolio to capture learning and to produce revision materials. (IT)
Intent: To provide learners with a digital notebook that can be used to organise notes, worksheets and feedback. To improve organisation of notes for revision purpose particularly in exam units.
Implementation:
- A wide range of learning resources to be put into the content library of a OneNote Class Notebook.
- Learners are added to the Notebook and given sections where they can store their own work.
- Completion of tasks are monitored regularly by the tutor.
- Learners are able to access learning resources both in and out of college using desktop PCs, Laptops, mobile phones, tablets and games consoles.
Impact:
- Learners absent due to Covid and other reasons were able to work from home – one learner in the group with 40% attendance achieved distinction when he came in and sat a mock assessment.
- Learners were able to finish off work at home.
- Most learners engaged and completed all tasks. The ‘open’ nature of knowing the tutor has access to the notebook might have been an encouragement.
- Informed after mock assessment reviews could be completed with learners.
Next Steps:
- Attempt to incorporate group work activities within the OneNote delivery.
