Jorum Competition - Winners AnnouncedThe Jorum Learning and Teaching competition, which has seen record entries this year, has resulted in six winning resources - chosen and scored by a judging panel and a public vote.1st Place: The Molecular Basis of PhotosynthesisSubmitted by: Katy Jordan, The University of Cambridge2nd Place: The Open Dementia E-learning Programme: Living with dementiaSubmitted by Colin Paton, Social care institute for exellence3rd Place: Making the creative process visibleSubmitted by: Dr Natasha Mayo, University Wales Institute, CardiffThe judging panel had the difficult task of whittling the entries down, and was asked to forward their top ten choices in rank order. Each entry received points based on their placing in each list. Once the final ten were calculated, they were placed on the Jorum Community Bay to allow for a public vote. A combination of the judge’s scores, and votes placed by the community resulted in the final six winners. Results were extremely close, with a few extra votes tipping the scale at the last minute.This has been the first time we have opened the competition out to the public - allowing the community to cast their votes for their favourite resources. Seventy votes were received in a short space of time, deeming online voting to be a popular method for Community Bay users. The winners presented their resources at a session at the ALT-C 2010 conference. The final three winners were awarded their prizes at the delightful gala dinner on Wednesday 8th September. Further videos and pictures will be released on the Jorum website in due course. The resources shown below are the final six winners. Congratulations to all those who made it to the final ten, as all resources entered were of a very high standard.See overleaf for further information on each winning resource …See overleaf for further information on each winning resource …About the resourceThis tool is an online tutorial designed to demonstrate the key molecules involved in the process of photosynthesis. It was developed at the University of Cambridge to help students understand the key events in photosynthesis at the molecular level. The tutorial guides learners through the key events in photosynthesis.  A narrative description of the processes involved is presented in a panel at the right, with embedded buttons at key points. Activating these buttons will then load a 3D molecule in the left hand panel, highlighting the relationship between the process and the structures of the molecules involved.http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/7023Judges Comments:“Not in my realm of understanding but liked the way students could highlight specific parts. Definitely brought the text to life. Perhaps some rollover word descriptions would have been a useful addition if a student is unsure of some terminology - although students may be expected to be familiar with this already...” “Nice use of JMOL, 3D models work very well.” “Well structured, easy to use and excellent potential for reuse.”1st Place: The Molecular Basis of PhotosynthesisSubmitted by: Katy Jordan, The University of CambridgeAbout the resourceThis module asks users to see each person with dementia as a unique individual and reinforces the importance of knowing their background and life history. Through audio and video the module explores the abilities people with a dementia retain in spite of the difficulties they face, how dementia impacts on families, friends and community and the support that is needed. The Open Dementia E-learning Programme was funded by the Department of Health.http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/7022Judges Comments:“Clear instructions, design and navigation - the learner is presented with manageable pieces of information. Offers a variety of interactivities using appropriate media (photographs, audio, video) to test knowledge learned and provides the tools and opportunity for reflection.” “Flashy resource, good use of interactivity, quizzes, video, and audio” “Love this - interactive, clear, variety of formats, glossary and self assessment quiz - top notch!”2nd Place: The Open Dementia E-learning Programme: Living with dementiaSubmitted by Colin Paton, Social care institute for exellenceAbout the resourceThe resource comprises five short films documenting the development of ideas in the work of a cross-section of students from the BA and MA ceramic programs in UWIC. The films render visible their negotiation of thought and seek to illustrate tendencies and patterns in the ways ideas are developed. Whilst a key concern for students is innovation, the ways in which they negotiate ideas often employ common traits akin to the relationship between thought and language; the idea carried and discussed through a more tangible form. Within an educational context, the identification of these forms of development can provide a toolbox of possibilities to be altered or rejected at any stage in the development of a given body of work but always present, to generate and keep ideas mobile.http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/2027Judges Comments:“Really liked the use of students themselves to articulate the creative process, and illustrate it with the various artifacts and things that inspired them. Very cleanly presented and engaging, would appeal very much to other art students I think.”“Well produced videos - simple and highly reusable”“Useful resource - nice use of video.”3rd Place: Making the creative process visibleSubmitted by: Dr Natasha Mayo, University Wales Institute, CardiffAbout the resourceThe Ayo Gorkhali site is a growing online resource for (and in part made by) British Gurkhas, their families and people interested in Gurkhas, Nepal, British and military history. The site features a unique Interactive Timeline that covers 2,800 years of Nepali (Nepalese) and Gorkhali (Gurkha) history and a section covering Gurkha-related issues, with more content scheduled for roll-out during 2010. The Ayo Gorkhali project has a presence on all major social networks and is also running a parallel Nepal-UK school link up project. ‘Ayo Gorkhali!’ has been commissioned by Brecknock Museum in Brecon, Wales, and funded by an ‘Inspiring Learning for All’ grant from CyMAL (Museums and Libraries Wales).http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/6960Judges Comments:“Nice timeline - good graphics like that it was made by the community. Allows for non-linear dipping in too. Would be a good resource for south Asian history courses.” “Very well made, lots of nice graphics, effective interface.” “Appropriate use of multimedia to allow visualisation of the timeline. High quality graphics and opportunities for interaction help to engage the learner, who can go through the resource at their own pace.” “Outstanding presentation”Commended award: Ayo Gorkhali! – celebrating the history and legacy of the British Gurkhas Submitted by Ro Rai, Believe CollectiveAbout the resourceIf you have ever wondered whether you have what it takes to become an interpreter, this is where you can see how many skills and abilities are involved through images, audio or video clips of interpreters in action.http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/7024Judges Comments:“Like the map approach - non linear and includes a good mixture of video, text and sound” “This resource provides learners with an overall view of the skills required and learners can click on each one to discover further information on each skills. Learners have the option of going through the resource in order or just picking the information they want to find out more. The videos provide the learners with further insight and knowledge into each skill.” “Useful resource, nice use of video.”Commended award: Interpreting Skills Map Submitted by Dragos Ciobanu, University of LeedsAbout the resourceThis tutorial is designed to help students to understand what plagiarism is and how they can avoid it.http://open.jorum.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/1468Judges Comments:“Love this one!!! Badly needed and very clear. Really makes students have to engage and provides contextual info to make it clear what is and what is not acceptable. Like the presentation too - very effective.” “Well constructed resource, good quizzes, nice use of audio.” “Clear structure helps learners easily navigate the resource. Interactivities help to test and summarise knowledge on a range of plagiarism scenarios. The learner is presented with manageable amounts of information and colourful graphics which help to create an engaging resource.”Commended award: Plagiarism Tutorial Jade Kelsall, Skills@Library, University of Leeds+44(0)131 650 3302jorum.ac.ukFind resources and moreJorum offers thousands of ready-made learning and teaching resources, including open educational resources that are freely available worldwide.
