Here’s what I plan to do
1. Define “low-tech”2. Talk about my rules3. Provide examples of what I
do– Give you some new ideas– Show you some student feedback

1. “Low-tech”?
Definition: easy to learn and easy to use.

2. My rules for ‘e’ stuff
• Avoid the George Mallory approach
• It must be time efficient• Human beings need human
beings• Avoid unnecessary jargon• Benefits must be obvious• Feedback must be used to justify• Try to make it look pretty

What do the students say?
“the news film examples helped me understand
the context of the policies”
“Alisters use of videos made the
lectures more interesting”
“Alaisdir’s lectures made
good use of videos”

lectures – made dry
subjects less boring”

Software skills
• Issue 1: many disciplines use specific software that is unfamiliar to students
• Issue 2: this is often a key part of a module or a course
• Issue 3: it is often not ‘easy’ – to use; to look at; to get help on
• Issue 4: there is only one of me…
