The social networking capability of Web 2.0 enables group activities and academic interactivity, and offers networking opportunities between tutors and students. This paper reports the research findings of a case study seeking to evaluate student perceptions of incorporating a Web 2.0 micro-blogging tool called Yammer into teaching. This involved closed group discussions facilitating a real-time emergency response scenario for an eruption of Mt Vesuvius. The scenario involved students role-playing as a ‘Hazard Analyst Officer”, responding to the changing environmental and social information provided before and during the eruption. Staff played a role as key stakeholders in the communications pathway. The student experience was quantified through questionnaires and focus group methodologies to capture the student voice. Feedback suggests that students using Yammer found it stressful, but realistic, and they valued the learning experience. However, a number of challenges remain to be addressed centred on the quantity of web traffic, working individually and tailoring the assessment away from the quality of blog postings.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"79 1","pages":"21 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88162084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Valuable discussion on the employability of graduates and the development of transferrable skills is largely focussed on undergraduate students despite the widening of career options for postgraduate research students outside academia. Skill development in current postgraduate pedagogy literature is focussed on specific academic based skills within the research process and does not address the process and content of more generic and transferable skills for DRs. This article explores the organisation of a conference by a small group of DRs and the consequential development and practice of a new skill set outside the usual research process. It presents an effective method for DR transferable, professional and practical skill development.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"9 1","pages":"14 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87651173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Student expectations and experiences of this assessment, together with reflections on learning and teaching methods more widely, were investigated using participatory appraisal, and follow-up face-to-face feedback. Student perceptions of visualisation as assessment mixed an uncertainty about what was expected, with a sense that visual work might be comparatively ‘easier’. Responses after the assessment recognised the difficulty of the method, the focus on data and the ability to address complex topics. Students also compared their experiences with visualisation to other assessment methods, with many finding the visual approach stimulating and effective for their learning, and module marks were higher than in previous years. We have retained the assessment in the module and extended some of the lessons, especially the use of show-and-tell critique sessions for formative feedback, to other modules.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"28 1","pages":"13 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78139704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For human geography, Marriott (2007) reported a gap in both knowledge and skills, noting particularly that academic staff perceive a gap in particular learning skills such as note taking, essay development and writing, and in general organisational skills. This study explores staff and student perceptions of the skills disconnect focussing on physical geography. Whilst the same skills gaps are identified as for human geography, centred around writing, organising and understanding, a further significant gap is identified around field, laboratory (analytical) and numerical skills. To narrow this gap, dialogue is required at the FE/HE boundary, highlighting to degree applicants and teachers the ever-growing importance of scientific approaches in physical geography. Enhanced training in scientific approaches is also required, in schools and early in university degree programmes. The means to more closely connect school and university geographies requires further debate and action, and this commentary calls for students to be included as partners moving forward.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"199 1","pages":"36 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73260374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They jointly prepared and presented a paper at an international geography conference and co-wrote this article. Their experiences of taking part in the research process were largely positive. Attending the conference developed their views of the discipline and its currency and relevance; highlighted the benefit of academic studies for employment; afforded them an overview of the research process in its entirety; and enhanced their knowledge and skills. The students expressed divergent levels of integration into the research process and into an academic community of practice.

We create a field-trip around Cheltenham, to examine rock types commonly used for buildings. Student motivation to complete the extra-curricular task was reasonable, with 50% of students participating. However, few thought their geological knowledge had improved. We suggest that, as well as some minor technological issues, the potential use of mobile internet and apps for teaching in Higher Education may have been overestimated (especially since motivation will decrease with novelty of the use of the technology). However, we acknowledge these conclusions are based only on a small pilot study. This may be related to how people in general, and students in particular, use mobile technology: instant bite-sized knowledge conflicting with the deep learning required for Higher Education.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"23 1","pages":"29 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77883826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper examines the reasons for this, and in reflecting on the possible relevance to Turkey of the UK experience, it sets out some potentially valuable ways forward in which Turkish Geography could strengthen its role in GIS provision.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"37 1","pages":"14 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81790661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
