1. The York TEL Handbook
http://bit.ly/ytelhbE-Learning Development Team
Matt Cornock and Rosie Hare
#YorkTELchat @UoY_Yorkshare
2. Resource for academics to use
independently, complementing existing
support offering.
http://bit.ly/ytelhb
A searchable practical and pedagogic guide with
case studies and visual walkthroughs
3. Alignment with York Pedagogy
Programme-level thinking
Summative and formative assessment
Student work
Staff-student contact
http://bit.ly/ytelhb
4. Existing support resources ‘pre-handbook’
Mix of how-to guides, pedagogical advice and case studies
in a searchable index on the VLE.
Difficult to follow and difficult to find a ‘way in’ to
embedding tech into existing teaching practice.
Were staff actually using them?

6. Problem of staff not using existing resources
Team’s website, VLE help tab and guides search redesigned
alongside handbook development

learning activities.
Individual pages for

guides and case study
examples.

14. What we learnt
Gave us chance to evaluate the tools we were recommending.
Mapping and adapting existing support resources alerted us to gaps that
needed filling.
Able to try out different tools and create accessible learning materials in
different formats – Visme, PowToon, Google docs for guides.
A resource we can draw on in articles, newsletters, workshops etc.
