ocTEL big questions

I have added to the table of big questions from twitter.  Apologies to those I have misclassified and those questions I have midded

Author	Question/ topic
Evaluation
Nigel Jones	how to evaluate the technology enhanced learning items/objects/methods before, during, and after implementation.
Engagement

Andrew MacLeod	ways to engage these reluctant professionals without alienating them.
Pete Richardson	What is the best way to help classroom teachers adopt digital materials and methods to improve their practice and the student experience?
lisa anderson @lisaa233 10h	#octel @thinksitthrough great webinar. Big Q, how do we get student engagement and hi standards of learning at a viable cost through MOOCs?
James Kerr @Kerr63 10h	Should reluctant staff be pushed to TEL if they don't fully embrace it? #ocTEL
Kayla Barlow @McrKayla	How can TEL support personalised learning in a way that works for both teachers and students?
Vanessa Camilleri @veecam	how can I, as an academic, help my students (who are teacher trainees) see TEL as a way of living and learning, rather than an imposition?
David Read @dreadnought001	will teachers who will not or cannot get on board with educational technology find themselves increasingly marginalized in their work?
Vanessa Camilleri @veecam	how can I, as an academic, help my students see TEL as a way of living and learning, rather than an imposition?
Staff development
Roger Gardner @rgardner	How best to develop staff digital literacies,especially awareness,practices & attributes,as opposed to access & skills?
Jim Pettiward @jimpettiward	How to address the gaping chasm in digital literacies of many teaching staff in HE?
S Huskinson @FieryRed1	:How can I convince academic colleagues to look at the teaching theory behind using a technology before using it?
Technology selection and effectiveness
Lynne Francis	what technologies are actually available, how do I use them, how are they beneficial for me to use as a teacher, and what are the learning gains for those I teach.
Barbara Wilford	how do we encourage academics to use appropriate technologies to support student learning and to enhance digital literacy?
Tracey Yeadon-Lee	I use a general VLE for my courses and in lectures I will often YouTube and radio podcasts. I think my big question is what else can I use and how
Mary Watkins	I'd like to know more about TEl outside of the VLE so academics and students aren't constrained by the features of the VLE.
Bill Miller	[What is] the scope of the field
Orla Daly	I can ensure that what I offer in terms of TEL initiatives/projects/suggestions is meeting the requirements and expectations of staff and students for an enhanced teaching and learning experience.
Maria Hacker	the technologies available and how they can best be used for student engagement.
Kari Rasmussen	How do we clearly identify who our student is, what responsibilities are they balancing and how to we best select and implement technology in a way that supports their learning and success in an educational career?
jamila osman	with the various technology that is being developed to enhance learning, how does the teacher determine whether teaching has taken place or not?
Quick wins
Sue Watson	I am really interested in quick fixes for teachers in formative assessment and would like to discuss how BTEC higher order grades can be assessed easily online. I think we need to get the assessment part integrated, which will lead to greater adoption by staff
Examples of good practice
Stephanie Bennett	I am really keen to learn and discuss more about best practice for implementing TEL both for campus and distance students – and also discover new and effective ways to encourage student learning through participation and interaction.
Elizabeth Charles	how TEL can be best used in teaching information literacy both face-to-face and via the VLE to support the self-directed independent learning of Birkbeck's mature students.
Hazel McAllister @TeflteacherUK	What are the best ways to use technology to help students learn a foreign language?
Evidence base
Donald MacLean	What do other practitioners find most effective in this field, why, and is there any research to back it up? I often find that research backed activity, and evidence, can be difficult to find.
"Simpson, Kate"	Is the student getting a different quality of experience by not being in the same room as the teacher; and, does TEL justify its worth in terms of money and time?
Tom Franklin	To what extent is evidence informing practice in technology enhanced learning?
Ethics
beth.ritter-guth@UCC.EDU	How do we promote ethical and robust content in online courses?
Understanding MOOCs (and wider TEL)
Lesly Huxley	I am hoping to learn a) what it's like to participate in a MOOC b) what innovations as well as the basics of TEL are 'out there' and peoples' experience of them and c) how others respond to the MOOC.
Tim Bones	to glean a wider understanding of OOCs and their workings how, both as an educator and participant/learner, might I benefit from engaging in MOOCs?
Tom Franklin	To what extent will Moocs transform learning and educational institutions?
Tim Herrick @minkymonkeymoo	question about MOOCs and TEL - who is it for?
Tim Bones @mrtimbones	Hope to discover pros/cons of being a participant/educator in comparison to other learning environs.
Effeciency and effectiveness
David Read	how technology can free up teachers’ time to focus on the more important things in the classroom.
James Clay http://elearningstuff.net/	How do we create a culture in which TEL can be effectively used by all staff and learners to improve learning?
Accessibility
gemma holtam	How can technology be embedded in to everyday teaching and learning to support and enhance the needs of dyslexic students as well as all of the other student in the class?
Beth Tunstall @tunners78	How to make TEL more accessible in areas of economic (and so arguably ICT?) deprivation.
Pedagogic theory
Bopelo Boitshwarelo	Is there a specific online pedagogy?
Rawad Hammad	how learning can be done through ICT?
Helen Crump @crumphelen	#ocTEL my big question “would thinking of TEL/eLearning from a literacies perspective answer a lot of questions?”
Julia Clarke @LUBSStudentEd	how will TEL  change learner identies? If we are all students now doesn't that change what it means to be a student?
Making technology invisible / ubiquitous
Alejandro Armellini @alejandroa	how can we get rid of the 'T' in 'TEL'? The question could be re-phrased as: how can technology become transpa
Assessment / recognition / employability (ouch that is pushing the topic a long way)
GraphicDesignProject @GraphDesProject	in what ways do employers recognise skills and achievements? Is it just educators? Where does it go?
I can’t classify
ScottJohnson	How do we build thinking content that seeps into society such that people start to revalue an enhanced and thoughtful version of themselves over the comfort and effortless state of general dumbness and pointless ammusement?
"Nortcliffe, Anne"	With Tablets sales exceeeding desktop/laptop sales, Ahmed (2013), what are implications for academic and student learning practice?  How are others embracing Post PC technology to enhance student learning? How others are encouraging their students to user their personal devices to support their learning?  Particularly as in our student population as smart device ownership has increased  the useage of smart devices for learning appears to have narrowed, to an expensiving surfing tool (Woodcock et al 2012c).    How do we engage our learners to utilise their smart devices and apps more effectively to develop and deepen their learning
Simon Bates	How can we fill the void between the need to co-create TEL work with educators and the needs of large (and mainly necessary) central administration systems?’
Janet Holmes	How can I enable learners to learn as they want to? It could be How can I learn what I need to do that! Maybe it should be  How can I get the trainees to teach each other?
Sue Barnes @suebbarnes45	Is it the technology that enhances the learning or is it that in considering use of technology we are prompted to consider innovative approaches to learning and teaching that lead to enhancement?
Bob Harrison @bobharrisonset	Does it matter and if so why? [not sure what it refers to]
clairedonlan @clairedonlan	Anyone for cricket? [Sorry Claire, couldn’t resist]
