The mid-semester student feedback on their courses seemed to be welcomed by most as a way to gather student feedback and for staff to act on this feedback while the course was still running, addressing the immediate and short-term goals from the September meeting.

As a psychology student explained: [The tutor] keeps my interest alive by presenting, not only the content, but also what matters for her. Experiences, personal understanding, knowledge – it’s all there. Teaching is about her relationship with the subject.
Students develop their own set of personal and professional skills and attributes, and often use a blog to reflect on their progress. Simon did an excellent presentation as part of our blogging seminar series – and the recording is well worth a listen.
Large, diverse Schools like my own – Literatures, Languages and Cultures – also present their own set of unique challenges. Moreover, that information is not always presented in a particularly engaging way. Although there are many different answers, one thing is certain: there is no one size fits all approach.
So my main argument is about how the subject can be positioned and the tone in which it is presented. Often, statistics is presented as a hard subject, one which needs lots of hard work, and if you do not do well, it can undermine your abilities as a student.
Recording could make lecturers more self-conscious about their appearance, or stop them from making certain jokes, changing how they wanted to present the material. This was often talked about in relation to the exams, which are an ever-present worry for many students. This fear manifested in two main ways.
At times, this can lead to operational silos, and present seemingly natural barriers which are difficult to overcome. We are beginning to ask big questions about our curriculum, degree structure, and how best to provide appropriate academic support.
This presents some interesting challenges for me as Tutor Mentor in the Edinburgh Centre for Professional Legal Studies (ECPLS). How do we support our students in their transition from an academic LLB teaching environment?

Once again, the Edinburgh Fringe is upon us, and this month Teaching Matters is very excited to present blog post contributions from staff and students performing at the Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas (CoDI), as part of the Fringe. Welcome to the August issue of Teaching Matters!
This creation of a community at the school promotes more open conversation between staff and students, and has led to some unique collaboration. A hot topic right now is lecture recording , and an analysis of its use was presented at the conference.
As a result, staff time will not be wasted updating and publishing the same information in multiple locations reducing the risk of inconsistent information being presented to students. It will enhance the information available by improving and streamlining how we propose, maintain, and close courses and programmes.
Most of the literature to date (including this paper) presents descriptive and/or exploratory work, largely fuelled by the key academic concern surrounding the impact of lecture capture on attendance.
