We also decided that this year, students could submit up to three photos. The event was\u00a0publicised to students via the DAC Blackboard site, through DAC sessions and in the Research Methods course that all students take. Prizes were\u00a0offered for the photos and reflections with the most votes in the form of University Gift Shop vouchers. The rationale behind this was that students needed to be able to claim their prize wherever they are in the world and the University Gift Shop offers worldwide shipping.<\/p>\n
Click to view the Spark Page used to inform students about the event:<\/a><\/p>\n A broad range of entries to the event: There were 46 entries in total from a diverse cohort of MIE Master\u2019s which consisted of a photograph and a\u00a0short reflection of their learning journey here at UoM.<\/p>\n Students\u2019 reactions to the event: There was a lot of interest in the competition; we had 3007\u00a0votes from students learning from the event. It is reasonable to expect sustainable effects closely linked to the concept of learning from experience –\u00a0increased self-awareness, critical thinking skills, and active engagement in learning processes. The combined medium of visual-textual reflection\u00a0demonstrates students\u2019 ability to re-frame their insights into their learning experience and affirm it through the use of photos and words.<\/p>\n Students\u2019\u00a0emerging multimodal communicative competence: The event confirms the basic premise of multimodal learning principle – students learn more from\u00a0a presentation of image and text than from text alone (Mayer, 2002).<\/p>\n Furthermore, the event presented a unique opportunity for students, the majority\u00a0of whom are English as second language speakers, to develop competence in interpreting and constructing appropriate meanings about their\u00a0learning experience through an event that exposes them to a combination of visual and textual communicative modes.<\/p>\n Screenshot of the Padlet Board<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”3.17.6″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Benefits” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” link_option_url_new_window=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” text_shadow_style=”none” box_shadow_style=”none” hover_transition_duration=”300ms” hover_transition_delay=”0ms” hover_transition_speed_curve=”ease” text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Top Tips” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” link_option_url_new_window=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”off” background_color_gradient_start=”#2b87da” background_color_gradient_end=”#29c4a9″ background_color_gradient_type=”linear” background_color_gradient_direction=”180deg” background_color_gradient_direction_radial=”center” background_color_gradient_start_position=”0%” background_color_gradient_end_position=”100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on” background_size=”cover” background_position=”center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend=”normal” allow_player_pause=”off” background_video_pause_outside_viewport=”on” text_shadow_style=”none” box_shadow_style=”none” hover_transition_duration=”300ms” hover_transition_delay=”0ms” hover_transition_speed_curve=”ease” text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em”]<\/p>\n Clarify and explicitly describe terms of participation. If leveraging educational technology, such as a real-time collaborative web platform like Padlet, for a photo contest, consider carefully the inclusion criteria for engagement Develop a clear strategy for picking the winner(s).<\/p>\n In addition to allowing voters to choose a winner (useful for short-listing), an external panel of judges can be a smart strategy for selecting final competition winners from the short-list. A photo contest can generate an enormous amount of entries. So consider costing for a broader range or tiers of prizes if applying for funding.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_comments _builder_version=”3.17.6″
