SOME THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO TRY DISABILITY Empower Putting your lecture notes onto duo in advance of your lectures will really help disabled students follow what is going on in the lectures and have a profound impact on supporting their learning and engagement. There is no evidence to suggest that placing lecture notes online has an impact upon student attendance. USING CLASS TIME MORE EFFECTIVELY Enhance Putting your notes online before the lecture and perhaps asking your students to read these beforehand means that you can make more use of the face to face contact time. Students value a more active and engaged session than one that simply delivers content that they could read by themselves. SOMETHING YOU MAY WANT TO TRY Extend You could think about creating some videos and putting these online prior to the lectures – this allows students to watch these before and after the lecture as many times as they need. If they don’t catch something in the lecture, they can go back and revisit the material. COMMUNICATING With your students will be times when you need to send a message out to your students, thinking about timings for submission of assignments and last minute changes to rooms and seminars. You can communicate this quickly and effectively using a number of tools in duo. Emails can be sent either to individuals, whole courses or groups and Announcements can be used to make a general notification to students that something needs to be done. . SENDING EMAILS

You may want to experiment with making content available so that they can use these devices to access the learning materials. CREATING Online Assessment and Feedback are a wide range of assessment methods available through duo. You can use to undertake both formative and summative assessments. These can be simple assignment submission points but also online tests and quizzes that you can set up to provide instant feedback to your students. The policy for submission of work depends on your department. In some cases they will accept wholly online submission of coursework, others will ask for paper and some others will ask for a dual submission. Ask your departmental administrator what the policy is for your department before creating any assessments. The policy for anonymous of work also depends on your department. If this is the case then you will have to mark the work for your students. Ask your departmental administrator for details of which policy is in operation in your department.
