Reaction engineering is a core chemical engineering topic that relies heavily on integral calculus and mathematical modelling. At Teesside University, it is taught in modules across two years – simple reactor modelling at Level 5, and complex reactor modelling at Level 6.
Whilst many students demonstrate high levels of attainment on both modules, the topic is considered challenging and a significant proportion struggle to master the mathematics contained within.
As you may know, many teaching staff are opting to record their lectures using Teesside’s ReView Lecture Capture system powered by Panopto. One of the drawbacks of the existing lecture capture set-up is its ad-hoc recording feature. At present, staff are required to log-in to Blackboard to launch the software at the start of a lecture to record and end the recording manually…
As part of the Future Facing Learning programme and the iPad roll-out, the Panopto mobile app is accessible to all staff and students. Using the app, students can view video recordings made available to them in their current and past modules without having to go into Blackboard. As teaching staff, you will still need to follow the process of recording and embedding video captures in your Blackboard module as you normally would…
Bite-size is effectively ‘chunking’ relevant content into manageable nuggets of information. It is a great way to engage learners who prefer snappy, accessible and easy to remember content. Making information available in digestible portions provides students with the opportunity to work through material in stages, allowing them to focus on topics, which results in deeper, more meaningful learning…
ReView (powered by Panopto) allows lectures and teaching sessions taking place in equipped rooms to be recorded and then accessed by students at a later date through Blackboard. Recorded sessions can include seminars, tutorials, laboratory sessions and practice-based sessions as well as the more traditional lectures. The same ReView system also allows a wide range of learning and teaching materials to be recorded, which can provide additional resources for students…
Over the last year at Teesside University, a new lecture capture system branded as ReView has been rolled out to all Lecture Theatres and General Purpose Teaching Rooms. Although referred to as a Lecture Capture system, ReView (powered by Panopto)
