Year	Team	Subject Area	Tools Used	Video Overview
2015-6	John Crowe Maria Canning Douglas Walker Michelle Simpson	Catering	Padlet, Quizlet, Zaption, Thinglink, Soundcloud App developed using Como Facebook, Youtube smartphones, iPad, laptops
Project Description/Overview
This project proposed to deliver 2 assignment units and also the underpining Knowledge unit (which consist of 10 closed book exams) of the Professional Chef Diploma Level 2 course through Blended Learning. It constructed a range of mobile assessable resources which includes a centrepiece cross platform mobile app to support teaching and learning for the course. They identified that the Hospitality Industry as going through unparalleled changes within the current climate:Now more than ever Chefs are in high demand, especially these with fine-dining / Michelin star experience/training are a rare commodity. A large majority of our catering student have either part-time of full-time positions in all aspects of our local Hospitality Industry. More than ever the demands to work during normal class time is immense. To be innovative, progressive we must understand and address this issue. We have to develop a new approach, concepts and strategies to combat this barrier to learning and progression. By embedding Blended Learning in Catering courses we can offer that.Some tools used are described below. Quizlet – a learning, recall and testing application with a variety of games and tools to aid learning. Banks of questions were created with an average of 15-20 questions for each of the 10 subject areas. Students could review the content and engage in quizzes that tested their knowledge. I could also see their progress and what work had been completed. There was also the element of competition between the class, which the students enjoyed. Zaption (now replaced by Edpuzzle) – to enhance the underpinning knowledge by that video demonstrations created for key skills and over-laying theory content in the form of knowledge statements and also interactive questions that required responses to measure students’ understanding of the subject. John Crowe created a bank of nearly 250 videos on YouTube of skills and techniques that students can review to aid subject understanding. He also created 17 sections on ThingLink with interactive content including PowerPoints, Videos, Audio files, Pictures, PDF`s, for again support learning and development.
