Using Moodle easyVoter Student Response SystemColleen Hurren from Cumbernauld College has been a member of the Scottish Moodle User Group Forum (SMUG) since its inception in 2005 and has been actively promoting the use of Moodle within the college for several years. Moodle easyVoter was mentioned by a presenter at the SMUG meeting in December '09. Colleen immediately saw the potential in having this student response system and set about introducing it to staff at Cumbernauld College. Video for Beauty TreatmentsIn order to help students with their revision in practical skills for Beauty and Hairdressing, Cumbernauld College Learning Technologist Colleen Hurren set up a pilot using video to record beauty therapy classes. The videos were embedded into the VLE, allowing students to access them from both College and home. Students could re-play the videos to practice their timing, hand positioning and technique in real time, while watching the video. The videos proved very popular with both students and staff and became rapidly adopted in other subject areas in the College including Catering and Hospitality, Motor Vehicle and Sports Performance students. Nintendo WiiIn 2008, Cumbernauld College bought the Nintendo Wii with the Wii Fit balance board and Wii Sports as part of the Healthy Working Lives programme for staff. The intention was to site the Wii Fit permanently in the college staff gym so that staff could use it as part of their exercise programme. For logistical reasons, this wasn't possible so new uses were found for this equipment.
