Gearóid Ó Súilleabháin

Who’s Zoomin’ Who? – 08 – Gearóid Ó Súilleabháin

In episode eight of Who’s Zoomin’ Who, Gearóid Ó Súilleabháin from CIT talks about their recent move to Canvas, about the resilience and anti-fragility of the educational technology systems that we use, the CIT MA in E-learning, Design and Development, and the OER resources available on TELU.me.

Ken McCarthy still umms and ahhs, gives a somewhat dubious Cork geography lesson and yet still asks some sensible questions.

Sometimes funny, mostly serious, but hopefully entertaining.

Catherine Cronin

Who’s Zoomin’ Who? – 07 – Catherine Cronin

In episode seven of Who’s Zoomin’ Who, Catherine Cronin from the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education talks about the recently published findings from the INDEx survey, shares her Open Education philosophy and discusses the impact and possible legacy of the COVID-19 crisis.

Ken McCarthy hasn’t really got any better at umming and ahhing, manages to misquote Hemmingway and yet still asks some sensible questions.

Sometimes funny, mostly serious, but hopefully entertaining.

Oisín Hassan

Who’s Zoomin’ Who? – 06 – Oisín Hassan

In the sixth episode of Who’s Zoomin’ Who, Oisín Hassan from the National Student Engagement Programme (NStEP) talks about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the project, defining an Irish definition of Student Engagement and plans for the rollout of their National Forum Digital Badge and other online training and development activities.

Ken McCarthy still umms and ahhs, often forgets to turn back on his mic and deals admirably with a neighbour’s noisy dog while still managing to ask some sensible questions.

Sometimes funny, mostly serious, but hopefully entertaining.

Marie O’Neill

Who’s Zoomin’ Who? – 05 – Marie O’Neill

In the fifth episode of Who’s Zoomin’ Who, Marie O’Neill from CCT College talks about the impact of digital technology on libraries, some of her favourite developments both nationally and internationally in higher education and a collection of open-source digital tools that she recommends.

Ken McCarthy didn’t get much of a chance to umm and ahh but that is probably a good thing and still manages somehow to ask some sensible questions.

Sometimes funny, mostly serious, but hopefully entertaining.
