From my perspective, the most rewarding aspect of the two runnings of Living and Working on the Web this term was the interaction between the Singapore students (#MANG2049) and the UK students (#UOSM2033) who coincidently all studied Topic 5 at the same time. (The Singapore students took the whole module intensively over 12 days, the UK students over 12 weeks.)<\/p>\n

Pippa\u2019s post<\/a> reflects on the role of new tool choices, exchanges of views with Singapore, and her interactions with Jack Andraka the presenter of a TED talk.<\/p>\nThe Singapore students in particular were very much \u201cthrown into the deep end\u201d in their first term of University study, so it was very pleasing to get some great feedback<\/a> :-)<\/p>\nWe ran a daily Hangout<\/a> of between 30 minutes and one hour to make up for the lack of face to face interaction. Catherine and Charlie from the UK group joined Olja and myself in the second hangout<\/a> for the Singapore students, then Evan and Benjamin<\/a> from the Singapore group joined in for our final official hangout<\/p>\nThey also collaborated with each other: Sara and Evelina interviewed each other<\/a> on camera for their final reflective post, and then Evan organised a final hangout where groups of students joined in<\/a> from local cafes.<\/p>\n
