Auxin Lunch Hour Seminar 25 September 2012: Digital storytelling
Presenters: Daniela Gachago and Veronica Barnes from CPUT.
Digital storytelling has entered Teaching and Learning in Higher Education as a way of improving student engagement, reflection and digital literacies, providing a new, more authentic way to knowledge acquisition. What started in 2010 with a pilot in the School of Education has been rolled out to students in Nursing, Industrial Design, Architectural Technology, Food Technology and Graphic Design at CPUT. In this seminar we presented diverse approaches to and experiences with digital storytelling across the disciplines.

Die voorspelling van studentesukses: watter faktore behoort ons in ag te neem?
Auxin Padkossessie – 31 Julie 2012
Watter faktore speel ’n rol in die sukses wat studente behaal? Hoe meet ons hierdie veranderlikes? En hoe gebruik ons hierdie kennis om die ontwikkeling van studente te ondersteun? Hierdie is vrae wat gevra is tydens ’n sessie, getiteld “Die voorspelling van studentesukses: watter faktore behoort ons in ag te neem?”, wat onlangs aangebied is as deel van die Auxin-projek. Die projek het ten doel om geleenthede vir akademiese personeel van die US te skep om voortdurend hulle onderrigvaardighede deur hulle bloot te stel aan gesprekke met kundiges en ander akademici op kampus.
Tydens die sessie het twee sprekers opgetree – prof Callie Theron (Bedryfsielkunde) en dr Alten du Plessis (Tredhou). Die aanbieders het die kompleksiteit van die verklaring en voorspelling van studentesukses beklemtoon deur verskillende perspektiewe en metodes in te span om die vraag te belig. In die meegaande potgooie (“podcasts”) kan u beide se aanbiedings sien sowel as van die gesprek wat deur die aanbiedinge gestimuleer is. Lewer gerus kommentaar indien u wil deelneem aan die gesprek!
