#YorkTELchat @UoY_Yorkshare
Resource for academics to use
independently, complementing existing
support offering.
http://bit.ly/ytelhb
A searchable practical and pedagogic guide with
case studies and visual walkthroughs
Alignment with York Pedagogy
Programme-level thinking
Summative and formative assessment
Student work
Staff-student contact
http://bit.ly/ytelhb
Existing support resources ‘pre-handbook’
Mix of how-to guides, pedagogical advice and case studies
in a searchable index on the VLE.
Difficult to follow and difficult to find a ‘way in’ to
embedding tech into existing teaching practice.
Were staff actually using them?

The seven sections of the Handbook
1. Baseline use of Yorkshare
2. Module site design, structure and layout
3. Creating resources
4. Embedding online activities within a module
5. Facilitating online activities
6. Assessment and feedback
7. Evaluation and development
http://bit.ly/ytelhb
What we learnt
Gave us chance to evaluate the tools we were recommending.
Mapping and adapting existing support resources alerted us to gaps that
needed filling.
Able to try out different tools and create accessible learning materials in
different formats – Visme, PowToon, Google docs for guides.
A resource we can draw on in articles, newsletters, workshops etc.
