Entitled ‘Creative Uses of Student Response Systems’, Dr Wiley’s one-hour webinar was broadcast to over 430 registered participants internationally, prompting a lively discussion to which moderator Kevin Herrholtz (Turning’s Vice President of Client Experience & Solutions) turned for questions periodically throughout the webinar.

Drawing on examples from his music teaching, Dr Wiley’s webinar discussed creative applications of electronic voting systems beyond the standard right-or-wrong multiple choice question, exploring advanced features of the software; pedagogies associated with electronic voting systems, and ways of combining them with other learning technologies; student feedback received on response systems, and tips for getting started.

Dr Wiley has been an International Distinguished Educator with Turning since 2012. He has spoken about electronic voting systems to many audiences both internationally and nationally (including previous webinars in 2020 and 2016), as well as publishing a report on the use of electronic voting systems in higher education teaching, available online here.

Dr Christopher Wiley presented a lunchtime webinar hosted by ELESIG (Evaluation of Learners’ Experiences of e-learning Special Interest Group) on 24 April 2013. Entitled ‘BYOD, mobile technologies, and social media for learning’, the event was the first in the ELESIG Webinar Series 2013.

In the course of the webinar, Dr Wiley discussed various ways in which he had sought to respond to students’ use of social media (including Facebook and Twitter) and their own mobile technologies in his teaching, in order to engage the students in e-learning and to enable them to contribute online as well as in person.

Drawing on evidence received from both students and staff in recent years, Dr Wiley discussed the merits and shortcomings of using these innovative technologies to facilitate learning at the tertiary educational level, as well as its value in educating students in contemporary issues such as media literacy and management of their online identities.

With over 50 members of the ELESIG community attending online from across the nation, much lively and productive discussion was prompted throughout the one-hour webinar.
