The BYOD4L project with Sue Beckingham, LINQ15
The BYOD4L Project aims to revitalize interest in learning and teaching through open cross-institutional professional development. It brings educators and students together in a distributed online community to share experiences and learn using their own smart devices. The project extends engagement in meaningful professional development that is useful for practice and creates opportunities for collaboration across institutions. It shares resources and expertise through an inquiry-based approach using social media in a framework of 5Cs (Connect, Converse, Construct, Contribute, and Confirm). Participation has grown from individuals in 2014 to include 9 higher education institutions and 2 partners by 2015. Feedback from participants indicates the power of collaborative development and an extended sense of community.
