Arne has “many students who never ask a single question but then have problems in the exams” and has found that using Padlet helps to overcome address this issue. Arne Geschke, PhysicsĪrne, a senior lecturer in the School of Physics, was introduced to Padlet a student in the Graduate Certificate in Educational Studies (Higher Education), where it was used “extensively for direct in-lecture participation”. I think it has expanded their learning.” One of her key tips is to ask colleagues to post up a few responses first, so that students are not presented with a blank screen. ![]() Then, in class, she would display students’ anonymous contributions on the big screen: “where students have been quiet previously, it has promoted some discussion and has introduced topics that I might not have thought of. Using Padlet this way, she could see what students were thinking around a topic before class and prepare answers to anything controversial in advance. She used Padlet to gather students’ thoughts on big questions such as “What do you think causes obesity?” before class, allowing them to have a say without feeling embarrassed during class. She needed a way to get students to engage in material before class and promote discussion using students’ own material rather than something she presented. Janelle came across Padlet during the Graduate Certificate in Educational Studies (Higher Education). Janelle Gifford, Exercise and Sports Science Yu Heng found using Padlet had a great impact on student engagement, “I think students liked it, and got involved and talking (which is always a hard ask)”. Yu Heng found Padlet worked particularly well for visual content (such as organic chemistry drawings) where students could take photos of their work and post to Padlet. ![]() He encouraged wrong answers to be posted to Padlet so the class can discuss and tackle common misconceptions and gaps in understanding. Yu Heng uses Padlet in his large second year chemistry lectures to highlight common students mistakes. Yu Heng, a lecturer in the School of Chemistry, first started using Padlet after seeing it being used effectively in the professional development program Principles and Practice of University Teaching and Learning. Yu Heng Lau, Chemistry Students can post photos of drawings they do in class using Padlet. Many staff around the University of Sydney are using Padlet to effectively engage students. *see below on how to register for a full University of Sydney staff Padlet account How are people using Padlet? Padlet also allows you to save, store, and share the final “wall”, providing students the chance to reflect on their learning and academics with a snapshot of student thinking. Padlet can create opportunities to embed “whole class” engagement into a variety of teaching environments and fosters student-centred active learning based on discussion, collaboration, peer learning, and problem solving. text, images, links, documents, videos, and voice recordings), with different options for layout, access, and access permission. Most types of digital content can be added to a Padlet (e.g. Think of Padlet as “virtual wall”, an online equivalent to the trusty butchers paper, where users can post content and comments in real time. ![]() Padlet is a free*, easy to use online tool that allows learners to work and interact collaboratively online. This article was contributed by Danny Liu, Rebecca Goldsworthy, and Samantha Clarke. Never heard of Padlet? Now is your chance to learn a bit more about this online tool, the practicalities of use, possible limitations, and, most importantly, how Padlet can be harnessed to create engaging and collaborative learning opportunities for your students. In light of this exciting opportunity, we thought we’d take a closer look at Padlet and how it can be used in teaching and learning, along with the details of how to request a full Padlet account through the FEIT Backpack licence. FEIT have funded a ‘Padlet Backpack’ licence out of their faculty’s learning and teaching grant funding, and have kindly opened up the Backpack licence to the wider University via Educational Innovation. The Education Innovation team has recently been given the chance to offer University of Sydney staff an unlimited Padlet account until the end of 2019, thanks to colleagues in the Faculty of Engineering and IT (FEIT).
