Authors: Frances Boylan, and Trevor Boland

Description

Each student has different learning needs & where a personalised learning approach is taken to their education, students & their educators work to tailor pedagogy, curriculum, & the learning environment to suit those needs.Technology has made personalisation easier than ever before, & the award winning series The 12 Apps of Christmas focuses this year on helping 3rd level students with one aspect of this process – how to access information, engage with it, &/or express their knowledge & understanding of it in line with their learning preferences, before going on to show how mobile apps can help.

Central to personalisation is choice, which gives students authentic opportunities for personalising their learning.By embedding apps into our T&L practices, & encouraging the creative use of apps to collaborate amongst themselves, to access information, engage with it, & express their understanding of it, we create unique opportunities for them to personalise their learning.

Proposed Artifact: The artifact will be The 12 Apps of Christmas website, which was built especially for this short free open CPD opportunity that starts on Dec 1st 2015 and runs for 12 weekdays. A new page of content will be released on that website each morning.
