Nominations are now open for the NUTELA Peer Recognition Awards 2017.
Has someone helped you? Has another member of University staff gone out of their way to help you use technology? Would you like her/him to be recognised? If so, let us know!
NUTELA is once again offering two peer recognition awards this year. We are looking for nominations of staff members who have contributed to peer support or the mentoring of others learning about and/or working with technology. It might be someone who has helped you understand the purpose of a specific learning technology, or someone who has been instrumental in progressing TEL (Technology Enhanced Learning) initiatives in your unit. You are welcome to nominate any member of staff at Newcastle University.
The nomination process is simple. In 500 words or less, just answer these two questions and send your response to nutelaops@ncl.ac.uk.
2. How has this contributed to the Learning, Teaching and Student Experience Strategy
The deadline is November 30, 2016. NUTELA will review the applications and make a decision. All nominees will be told they have been nominated, and will be invited to present their work at the year-end NUTELA conference.
The award will be presented at the 4Ps event in January 2017 and the winners will be invited to the Vice-Chancellor’s Celebrating Success event.

On Friday 4 March NUTELA held our inaugral Peer Recognition Awards at the Marjorie Robinson Rooms.
The event was a tremendous success, thanks to the work of the team and more than 50 staff enjoyed some pizza, pop, plonk and practice in the convivial surroundings of the Marjorie Robinson cafe.
Pro-VC Suzanne Cholerton introduces the awards – we even managed to get hold of some Nutella to give away!
Thanks go to the winners of the 2015 awards, Gigi Herbert and Graham Paterson for two really informative presentations about their work and to Pro-VC to Learning and Teaching Suzanne Cholerton for presenting winners and runners-up with their awards.

Participants at 3Ps Workshop 27th November 2015
The recent Pizza, Pop and Practice workshop on Sound and Vision, looking at making recordings and short video clips for use in teaching, was a tremendous success.
Participants enjoyed their pizza and pop, whilst learning about Audacity (which enables you to make short sound recordings and clips), Animoto (which allows you to make short video clips to advertise events or explain simple concepts – see Jo’s video about the workshop below), as well as looking at ways to use Microsoft Office Mix to create videos and recordings for use in powerpoints or online.
Animoto – choose a style
At our last 3P’s session we also ran two sessions on vision.
These looked at using Microsoft software for developing videos and image galleries, as well as Animoto, a software available free online.
Animoto can be used for free, by registering for an Educator’s account….
It’s very simple to use.
Here are some of the materials from the session to jog your memory or get you started:
1. Step-by Step guide to Animoto (docx)
2. Video guide
3. Guide to getting an Educator’s Account
Then it’s just practice really!
NUTELA will hold it’s first Pizza, Pop and Practice workshop of this academic year in the Tees Cluster at the Robinson Library on Friday 27th November 2015.

As well as vast quantities of FREE PIZZA and POP over lunchtime, the event will offer a series of short workshops to show participants how to use Microsoft Mix to put together or mix up words and images, Vine and Animoto to make short animations and Audacity to record short sound clips.
