Some students were a little worried about learning new and unfamiliar technologies (particularly on a non-technology course), and especially in time for doing a very non-traditional summative assignment, but they ended up loving it and thriving on the process!
The External Examiner commented: I have really enjoyed this new method of assessment and the students should be commended for their skills in technology which they have developed, I am very impressed!

Do you want to improve your students' achievements, their academic satisfaction and learning engagement?
Would you like help them to gain digital skills, for their future development?
I'm sure you would!
I started this process before Covid-19, with students of sexual health nursing, not traditional technological students. But s a result of the pandemic, I am now enabling colleagues across my university do likewise, through numerous CPD events.
Underpinning theories
By using just 2 programmes: Adobe Express and Adobe PremierRush, I am transforming my classroom teaching and presence into pedagogically and andragogically-sound e-learning resources.
With impact across the teaching, learning and assessment for all of my students, I am seeing their capabilities advanced, their enjoyment of learning – AND assessment – boosted, and their active engagement in collaborative, on-line shared learning developed.
My training resources, backed up with real-time demonstration and tutorials
The assessment for “Promoting Sexual Health” module used to be a traditional essay. Now, it’s the creation of an Adobe Spark resource, with at least one video edited in PremierRush.
The outcome is a high quality sexual health promotion resource, ready for sharing to client or patient populations.
For the first time, in 31 years of teaching, I have awarded 95% to a student’s assignment.
It was, truly, the most motivational assignment I have ever seen, and the student’s joy at creating it awe-inspiring!
So ... go for it!
Take your classroom greatness and re-present it, in pedagogically based, e-learning, fashion. All the while, boost your own Technology Enhanced Learning potential, and promote the digital literacy of students of today, citizens for tomorrow!
