This short film was produced by a group of Visual Learning Lab interns from the University of Nottingham. Based on a series of interviews conducted by VLL interns with fellow students on learning in HE, and in particular visual learning and related technology uses, this film presents findings and recommendations from the interview analysis by the VLL interns. The film is meant as a critical tool for triggering and supporting discussions about visual learning in HE by staff and students. It deliberately represents the students perceptions of visual learning. It is not meant to be representative, but offers a snapshot of some students views.
Yet another institution is touting the education-changing potential of yet another device. This time the college is University of Missouri’s Journalism School, which now plans to require that students purchase either Apple’s iPod Touch or its iPhone.
Students are supposed to use the gadgets to review lectures. The university chose the devices as the required media players because students are already used to them, Associate Dean Brian Brooks told the Columbia Missourian.
“Lectures are the worst possible learning format,” Mr. Brooks was quoted as saying. “There’s been some research done that shows if a student can hear that lecture a second time, they retain three times as much of that lecture.”
