Welcome to SBOSE of Edinbugh Napier’s MSc BOE

Welcome to the podcasting site for the Edinburgh Napier University module Supporting the Blended and Online Student Experience (SBOSE).

The SBOSE module is the second module in the Pg Cert/Pg Dip/MSc Blended and Online Education (site opens in new window), which is designed for lecturers, teachers, tutors and other education professionals and specialists. The SBOSE module explores issues around individual and cultural diversity, inclusive design, support needs, and equivalence of experience in blended and online course contexts. The module is run by Julia Fotheringham and Elaine Mowat of Edinburgh Napier University's Academic Development team.

Each week, starting in Week 2 (Jan 2012) for the duration of Trimester 2 2011/12, a new episode that ties in to the content and activities of the current unit of the SBOSE module will be published here. Over the course of the module, the episodes will offer a mixture of introduction, explanation and discussion of key issues in the area of Supporting the Blended and Online Student Experience, feature interviews and other items, and offer further activity-based guidance for the module's participants.

If you are not on enrolled on the module but have come across our podcasts we do hope you find them of some interest, and would welcome any comments you might have.
