Time table and work experience changes
by
Ben
on Thu 07 Jan 2010 12:52 GMT
The timetable has been rejigged for the new term and we have allocated time for staff to train, reflect and meet in a production meeting. The student production groups have been changed, we still have three separate groups but now the basics of production have been taught First Diploma and National have been separated so each can move forward at their own pace. The national first and seconds are still mixed but each group have their own final major projects to work on as well as the joint projects. more »
Back to the future

College resumes and a new year begins and after what was admittedly a hectic first term for the live project we were looking forward to a more settled beginning to the new term. Alas this was not to be and mother nature has scuppered our plans, we have had some very cold and snowy weather and due the long journeys many teachers and staff have to take into the college attendance has been on the low side. more »

Immigration recorded TV debate - Vocal Point
by
Ben
on Fri 04 Dec 2009 10:48 GMT
We are preparing frantically for our live studio debate next Thursday. The show is called Vocal Point and is being put together by the 2nd year students. It's been a hard slog getting to this point as motivation has been a factor, unfortunately the debate subject that was given to them was not glam enough. It's an important issue for the area and Tony stuck to his guns as he felt it was a debate that would be really vibrant and would engage the local community. Fair play to the student as with a bit of cajoling they have pulled themselves together, organized themselves and we have the semblance of a show put tother. I have attached the premise and a flyer to gove you a broader picture of the production, we are still confirming panelist but we hope to have all major parties represented (we have two already) and a diverse and interested audience of about 30-40. The crew will number 20 including sound, camera, light, presenter, producers, directors, make up, autocue and hangers on. We are really excited and the nerves are jangling, it will really give the students a taste of what the pressures are really like in industry. Will update you will more info when appropriate.

First Press!
by
Ben
on Fri 04 Dec 2009 10:22 GMT
The project has received it's first press coverage, The EDP came in whilst we were rehearsing for the immigration debate which will be recorded live next Thursday. They took plenty of snaps but chose to include the desk based student rather than the 20 other students operating cameras, lights and sound. Oh well can't complain as all press is good press, lets hope this is just the start.

Interim Evaluation
by
Jeff Holmes
on Fri 13 Nov 2009 13:42 GMT
The first interim evaluation was written and sent through to JISC at the beginning of September. We got the feedback earlier this week and it was very positive. They have suggested a number of things that they would like us to look at for the project. Ben and I are both wuite happy with what they were asking for and we will be putting the things togther in the next few wekks. The next interim report is due at the end of Feb, so no doubt I will be going around staff to get various bits of information. Monday, November 9

It's alive
by

on Sat 05 Sep 2009 01:53 BST
Well my good people the springboardtv.com site has gone live, from Monday students and staff will begin using it in earnest. IMO the site is about 90% bug free, so the next few weeks will be very telling, browser support is reasonable with only Safari causing a headache because the Ajax commenting system won't play ball. The main things is that there is some excellent video content on the site and that learner now have a focal point for their efforts.

The hidden work of creative people (designers)
by
Neil Stapleton
on Tue 11 Aug 2009 09:25 BST
I saw this and it just brought home how much work and expertise goes into getting things looking just so... Whatever you are: Graphic designer, Photographer, Film maker, Desktop publisher or Web monkey... this one's for you, the average person will never fully understand what goes into it, but maybe if you show them this it will help.

Nine Lives
by
Ben
on Thu 28 May 2009 14:29 BST
We visited Paul Mayer Course Director Performing Arts over at Isle yesterday with Sophia and Jonny to find out more about how he has successfully integrated a fully functioning and highly succesful theatre company called 'Nine Lives' into his general teaching programme. He spoke about the pride students feel knowing they in a close team and not just 'doing a course' - they are part of a real theatre company. This is exactly the feeling we want to instill with SpringboardTV and the media cohort. There's loads of cross over so Paul's experiences will be invaluable - we recorded his words which I'll edit a post when I get a moment, plus he has agreed to help us out by lending his dulcet tones for voice work on the channel next term, bravo that man!
Sophia and Jonny got some great ideas from the session and found it really useful. Here's where the Nine Lives company put on their shows http://www.anglestheatre.co.uk/ Wednesday, May 27

A Visit From DMU
by
Ben
on Tue 26 May 2009 14:11 BST
Richard Hall ILT coordinator from De Monfort University payed us a visit in Kings Lynn last week. He's the Project Manager of the MoRSE project which is part of our CAMEL cluster group as assigned by JISC. He was unable to attend the recent CAMEL event hosted by ourselves on the 8th May but he wanted to see the project for himself and talk technology with us.
Richard was particularly interested in the technological solutions that we're developing and the impact on professional development/student learning these will have. We were obviously delighted to have him here and so we gave him the full tour, showed our progress so far and demoed the virtual studio. We also conducted a brief interview with Richard in the virtual environment which we'll post up on the blog soon. Apart from being eager to hear his thoughts on all of the above, we also had a good discussion on IPR and copyright, Richard pointed us towards this really useful JISC Web 2.0 checklist http://www.jisclegal.ac.uk/pdfs/Web2TutorChecklist.pdf which DMU have integrated into their general institutional procedure and we are now looking to do the same. On that subject we (project management team) have been talking about who should be driving policy on this subject - the college or the project? It was decided that the project would be the catalyst but we should engage with both the ILT team and IT in order to put guidelines together for feedback from the institutes SMT. Waiting for Toby George head of ILT to return from leave so watch this space. Check out Richard's own project blog and comments on his visit to us http://www.learnex.dmu.ac.uk/?p=1712 Thursday, May 14
