Yn rhaid i'r cyflwyntau o'r rhaid i'r cyflwyntau, rhaid i'n rhaid i'r cyflwyntau, a we have invited a number of people, guidance councillors, teachers, other people in education to look in and give us the feedback on that. Then there is the two pathways there, one for the schools and one for the self-directed learners. We did circulate a login for guest access to the panel. Did any of you get a chance to look in? Great. Thanks. I suppose the pedagogical model as first envisioned was this with the MOOC Connectivist Learning as Siemens and Downs have noted in Connectivist Learning a teacher will guide students to information and answer key questions as needed in order to support students' learning and sharing on their own. There was a major part of it. In addition, Gillie Sammons' E-tivities was a model that was employed by Jennifer. We see this as the kind of interaction then between the three players, the E-moderator, the student and the teacher. The E-moderator is an additional role. Probably most MOOCs don't have an E-moderator, although the BLE MOOC in the UK is working with a similar kind of idea. You can see that there are interactions within the classroom and interactions outside of the classroom. I will go through these outputs fairly quickly. This is really just picking up on the second year of the project. The guest MOOC teacher orientation area, this is to support teachers. Many of the teachers we have spoken to, guidance councillors, are a little bit nervous about engaging with the MOOC and their own digital skills. We've developed a handbook and a teacher orientation for them. We've redesigned some of the modules and we've completed the development of the other modules. Again, just quickly in the second pilot that we ran, 45% of those participating completed 100% of the course, which by MOOCs completion rates are high, given that we've got different pathways. It's probably a little early to say whether that is a good or an indifferent completion rate. Further outputs is the splitting of the modules in the MOOC and I'll come on to that as well in a moment. Two promotional videos, if we have time I'll give you a little excerpt from those two. One is aimed at the students and one is aimed at the teachers. There are just 92nd videos. The full roll out then of the MOOC in its entirety and a lot of promotion, a lot of time spending promoting through newspapers, newsletters articles, through attending at schools, meeting with guidance councillors. Content development, so the initial proposal was to develop a number of MOOCs. Three really, one was this, the bigger one, which is these six modules, orientation plus five modules, they're complete. A further MOOC then is aimed at parents to support them, parents particularly of whose students are first time into higher education. We have the content, we just need to develop that in the online format. And a final MOOC which is to support faculty and the wider players within higher education to support the undergraduate. Outputs to the end of the year is completion of those final two MOOCs that I've just referred to, completion of pilot three which will be running with eight to twelve schools, evaluation of that feedback and continuing to promote. So 25 schools have been talking to us about taking the MOOC in some format. I think that they're still looking at it. One of the big issues really is where does it sit within the leaving, within the senior cycle and the leaving certificate period. That's something that each school looks at and looks at differently. But the flexibility that we have within the MOOCs that they may be engaged with one or two modules rather than all of them is something that they've welcomed. Those schools that have taken this journey with us through pilot one, two and now three, we find that there's an increased confidence with the teachers to engage with the MOOC now that they're familiar with it and they're using it and they see the benefits of the outcomes. So in terms of the lessons learned and there's a flexible approach to the modules, the online element where students can engage with material outside of the classroom, the schools are choosing which cohort. We haven't dictated where it sits within the senior cycle. As I mentioned in previous presentations, it's also available to first year undergraduate students. We're promoting that heavily in IT Sligo. So you can take it at different points in this pathway into higher education. The feedback we're getting from the schools is that the time that they're really identifying as being a good time to run it is the second half of each term. October, December, even November, December, really kind of after the midterm break in April to June. Digital badges, this is the currency of the MOOC. We've heard about digital badges from all aboard. We developed badges for each of the modules upon completion. We have had wider discussions around the currency that would, what are the students, what are the school children actually think is a good currency. CAO points is the currency that they're really focused on. We've had discussions around can we tap into that? They're only at the discussion level at the moment. I think that the badges have been widely recognised increasingly within Ireland and elsewhere. Open Educational Resources, we've incorporated or we've linked to a number of projects, some of which have been funded by the National Forum and others are openly available. This speaks to Digital Roadmap Recommendation 3 that institutions will adopt open educational principles of regards teaching and learning. We've linked to the Learning Innovation Network's student-led learning project and we've used videos from that project. We've linked to another project we've seen earlier, the Student Success Digital Toolbox. We've also linked to the Embedded Things from the All aboard project. Externally, a project that some of us, some of the institutions in Ireland did with Epigeum, Academic Success, Skills for Learning, we've incorporated that in IT Sligo. That's not available, obviously, to all of the institutes. Then we've looked at the careers portal where this is a big thing that the students want is to sort of advise on careers. There are a lot of videos here for the different kind of disciplines, the different roles that they may take on post higher education. We're linking to that and encouraging them to look at those. This is from the Open University, I've created a number of open badge courses. This is one that's just started, Introduction to Cybersecurity. Again, things that are relevant, things that are very relevant to this particular demographic, we're promoting it within the MOOC and pointing them towards it. They may not engage with it, but we're pushing them in that direction. Okay, so just coming back to the project outcomes, the intended outcomes that we had. Pre-development skills that better manage the transition. Yes, that is being achieved through the content within the MOOCs and through the engagement with the MOOCs. Development of a more engaged student. I think we don't know yet. The time will tell and that one in the project needs to run a lot longer. Higher retention rates of students at third level, again, that's something that we won't know in the short term. Better linkages with schools. Again, we are asked to engage with students as partners and I think that by going into the schools and talking to the schools we're achieving that and by taking feedback from the senior cycle students we're really getting an understanding of what they want and what they need. Development of digital literacy for both students and teachers, again, this is happening, some of it by design, some of it simply by their participation within the course. Again, previous panel feedback said that giving learners experience of online learning at third university should help develop their capacity to study successfully and autonomously in addition to the value of the orientation itself. The final one then is students better prepared for lifelong learning. Again, that really speaks to that same panel feedback. Impact, reach dissemination, a number of national and international conferences where we have presented. Probably more critically than those is the engagement with the Institute of Guidance Councillors, the National Centre for Guidance Education. The autumn newsletter came out on Monday and I think by Tuesday morning we had 25 enquiries from career guidance teachers looking for information on the MOOC and some of them committing to run it. So that's been very effective. Promotional leaflets, we have leaflets in this kind of format here, College Awareness Week and this dialogue through one-to-one school visits, this is actually just from IT Sligo but our student ambassadors will be visiting 277 schools targeting 10,000 students. Again, this is about engaging with schools and further education providers, acknowledging that they are best placed to identify content needs. That's another forum aim. Impact in terms of practices. Again, this speaks to the forum's aim to develop a consistent, seamless and coherent digital experience for students in Irish higher education. I think that this model of blending the MOOC, the online content with classroom activities, classroom discussions, forum, whatever is certainly a model that they will experience in third level education. Impacting on learners and learning, again, picking up on the digital roadmap recommendation, warned there will be increased use of active learning approaches to student experience, harnessing potential for technology, while building digital skills confidence. Organisational practices. MIC might talk about this in the Q&A. They're looking at integrating the MOOC into their pathway, access to higher education. We've certainly, I think all the partners have experienced this increase in collaboration, sharing resources across partner institutes and developing relationships. These are all byproducts really of working on this project collaboratively. We're going to move on to sustainability. Beyond the funding through partnership and support, and possibly new partners, one of the issues that we have here outlined is that because we went with MOOC as the platform, there are hosting costs, 8,000 to 10,000 at the top end. That's an annual fee. How do we pay for that? Is it the forum? Is it the HEA? Is it new partners? If all of the HEIs were supporting this, then it's a small amount of contribution from each of those. I think when we started out with the project, we talked about the proof of concept, evaluation of the outcomes that we need to achieve that in order for anybody to invest in its support and development. Again, we can tease that out. I see I'm on 15 minutes, so I'll stop there.


Good morning guys. I'm vlogging because I have furniture being delivered today I don't know if it's my new couch or my new chair I know it's not the new ottoman because the ottoman's on back order and maybe it's both I don't know they're supposed to bring it all the way upstairs And I always like pay for that because I have a townhouse or like make sure that's a thing and then they always fail me I ordered a new couch from home threads. I wanted to get one that looked kind of like the cloud couch I wanted to be very very white very open in here I'm gonna move all the prints from that wall in my office to like a gallery wall on the stairs I'm gonna get a bigger one over there and then just kind of go from there guys. I'm changing up the look I've been wanting to replace my ghost acrylic chairs for the longest time But I have six chairs and that is a very pricey thing to do I've come to realize long term I will be getting a fireplace installed like a vent less fireplace and get that like built out here really thin So yeah, that is what's happening today And then after Dom and I have to shoot some stuff for our live show if you guys haven't got tickets link will be down below May 12 7 p.m. Take it start at $10. I'm a little bit stressed for like how crowded my upstairs is gonna be All right, so it was only my chair I'm listening to the sibling rubbery podcast if you need just like a comfort listen or just a good podcast Listen that isn't about like being a better person. You just want to listen to people talk That's a really good one, but I have my new chair. I got it from home threads I have a matching couch coming and then an ottoman the ottoman will come later So I'm going to try to unbox it So unfortunately my living room is gonna look a little bit crazy for a bit I don't know when the couch is arriving. I'm still kind of confused on that I just realized that the bottom cushion is on the wrong way But I am obsessed with this chair the coolest part about it is that I can actually like connect this to the couch Like let's say I like move and eventually I will I can like connect it You guys will see to the actual couch and make it a sectional But basically the plan is I have this chair here I'm gonna have an ottoman here and that is on back order So it's gonna take a bit and then I'm gonna replace it with a couch That matches look at mr. Handsome. It's so cozy. It's just everything.  It's perfect for the weekend That's why I wanted to include it in this vlog especially for entertaining.

I don't know if this is gonna gross you out though What it tastes like cereal milk. Yeah, that's what I mean by pretty pebbles. It doesn't gross me out That's why I like that's why I like I don't like drink never mind. I don't like drinking the milk from cereal That's where you differ comment below where you are. I'm on like a big Jack Harlow these days guys With a remix Well everyone it's been a great time. I think I think it's only gonna get better as I added the footage as well Don't you agree Tom? I 100% agree. Also, let me know if you ever want to play my Nintendo switch I really do actually I would love to get into it. I Have some great games have animal crossing Super Mario part ever That's the one quarantine thing. I did a part take it because they're like slow out everywhere. Yeah smash throws Zelda it's because you didn't um Because you don't have a cost from membership I cannot make one cost go joke. I love it. Yeah, that's my cue to leave Wow Here's the thing you do realize that you were living at my house So obviously isn't it still when do I see anyone that much? Never? I don't see people 24-7 And like I see you as a like a lot like multiple times a week No, but I don't see anyone 24-7 you get that because if we usually lived you lived with me at that point Her new passion project as an activist is her squatters everywhere Yeah, that's that's that's the next thing that she's been working on today. That's what we've been working like why not squat I'm getting a new shirt. Why not squat? That's actually would have been a good idea for merch for her Okay, Dom wants to give you guys a little haul because I don't have my own channel It's always best, you know use your best friend's channel. These are these pants, and they're just gonna be really cute Maybe fun for a date. Yeah, your date tonight.  And then some pants. I'm not crazy about the wash Honestly, I thought the wash I thought the wash was different when I said I like the wash They look more like acid wash. I know right but in the plastic I don't hate them at all. I like them but in the plastic it looks better. They look lighter. Yeah Those are kind of a fail No, but I think they're still good. I just understood what you're saying because I thought it was a different one I thought they were like lighter. Yeah, me too. They're lighter down here. There was just something that looked totally different I got this face to you for my house, and I just have them taken out of my car yet. It's really cute It was really good on my camera By Don Roberts Influenced by Dom Roberts. That's gonna haunt me like when I have nightmares That's gonna happen right there Giving you guys a really quick call. I just showed this on my Instagram story. So if you've already seen it It'll be quick. Just got a PR package. This like smells so bomb really excited I ordered myself three new Luxe unfiltered self tanners I am not serious about this product that I will just order three at a time It is the best self-tanner. It's gradual. It doesn't streak you put it on with your hands It doesn't smell it doesn't get on white clothes or white sheets Like I can wear white dress like after buying this and that's it It's gradual, but it gives you enough color immediately Like I definitely will apply it like twice a week. The one thing is I will say I do go through it pretty quickly That's why I ordered three. There's something that really compares to it for me And then I have a little year of ours haul I love this top and then I got these biker shorts and This cut in leggings. I have two pairs of leggings that are this cut the most flattering leggings ever So I was like I have to get them on biker shorts. I also got the biker shorts in black. So it's the same cut I love that and then this top which I love love the length of these I love the print. It's so different than what I normally work out and I normally just work out in solids And then I thought this top was really cute too. So it is summer. We are working out every day I actually think I'm going to go work out this afternoon Maddie's getting here at 545 and it is currently 210 I have work that I do but it is pouring right now And I can't even like take my trash out right now because of it I left Dom's and my hair was just soaked. So it's like wasn't good all at all. I'm watching Ashley Graham on YouTube I'm literally obsessed with her Okay, as you guys saw I just went through and I did a bunch of laundry and I went through clothes to give away again Because that's literally a weekly thing. I am about to work out. This is the set on it's really flattering very comfortable I'm going to just do quick 12 through 30. It's raining out And so I don't really like part of me really wants to work out The other part of me has like no interest and I just want to shake shock. Get on the chair by the way I am completely obsessed with it. It is so comfy. I love it so much There will be an ottoman that goes here and there will be a couch that goes here And they're all gonna match but the best part about this I was thinking as far as like entertaining the summer or like having people sleep over or whatever is that With this ottoman, there's gonna be like two places like two complete beds Essentially like the couch and this for you to sleep at which it's so nice Also, I got all three pieces for like $2300. It was a really really good price here. I am guys It is just like so Cozy like I am actually just like in love. I don't want to work out. I don't want to work out I don't want to work out. I don't work out going downstairs. I'm gonna drink half of an energy drink I'm not gonna drink the whole thing because I will be up until 8 a.m. And that's not my vibe tonight Tropstick oil the lighting is so bad I want to get can bites at the top and I'm gonna make them like color changing So if I wanted to feel like hop Pilates in here I can also it's been so fun working out in my gym with friends like having a gym in your house and having people come Over to work out one it makes working out more fun in to I See my friends more because it's like an activity that I already do now. It's not like I was so busy And I really had like time to like go to much dinners and stuff I was like, oh, let's go work out. It's such a great social gathering But as someone who loves to host it's even better. I got a mini fridge. I have so many things going on Um Sid and I last night had the best workout we played.  Goodbye. I finished my face. I must have I Can't believe I actually did that right. I've showered and gotten ready This is again the most basic outfit I could ever put on top boots again I'm just wearing really basic outfits because I need my closet to be set up and I just came and find cute stuff right now So happy Saturday everyone. I have been laying in bed pretty much all morning I my cousin just texted me she wants me to go meet her. So I just changed into this dress I'm gonna pick Dama. I'm just had to document the moment because it's my first time wearing a dress and sneakers out in 2021 Feeling on top of the world today.  So I'm off. I hope everyone's having a great day Okay, bye. So today has really just turned into a what I'm wearing But I wanted to show you guys this new top going to dinner with some friends tonight and this is from shop rumors I got two other tops from them I got the like wrap shirts that I have no idea how I'm gonna actually like wear them But I think this is so cute. It's backless. It's really fun I like having cute tops like this because I feel like I just never buy cute tops which like sounds obvious I was gonna wear these shoes and it looked really cute But it also looks like a little bit maybe like too much like maybe if I was doing like a girls dinner I would do that and I'm wearing jeans and I feel like I don't I don't I'm just such a sneakers girls So I'm wearing these ones falls The other shoes look better with it But like as far as like comfort for the night I feel like I'm gonna want the sneakers Obviously, I read my makeup and then for my lip combo tonight.

They are so bomb I gave one of my friends one last night But it's the tropical Molly recommended these to me and then I tried them and it's just like literally the best flavor ever I haven't tried these yet. I don't even know what they are But I'm excited now that I have my mini fridge. I'll probably set that up tomorrow I don't really feel like doing that today. Happy Sunday, everyone. I just got out of the shower I think I have like late afternoon plans. So it's just gonna be like a Sunday around Also, I just keep staring at my new chair guys.

What is up, you guys? Welcome to the Single Guy Channel. I'm Lloyd. I had a question from this guy who's a pretty good one He says he feels pretty comfortable talking to girls kind of like one-on-one But when it comes to really loud crowded environments, he gets pretty nervous He doesn't know what to keep the conversation going And he finds himself just a little it's too intense for him and he doesn't know what to do So he's wondering, Lloyd, are there any tips and tricks that he can use in these kind of environments? Well, dude, not only am I gonna give you some tips and tricks I'm actually gonna do you one better. I'm gonna give you a step-by-step process About how to go out and pick up a girl in a loud crowded environment Okay, so let's get right into it.  There's gonna be people bumping into you and stuff start start a conversation with the people around you They don't have to necessarily be hot girls. They can just be they can be a dude or they can be a girl that you're not really that interested in Whatever remember the enemy of anxiety is Action take action to eliminate your social anxiety the longer it takes for you to take action The harder it's going to be trust me and then you're just the guy that's standing around on the crowd That's just wants to go home. Don't be that guy There are a lot of clients that I get that get into that mode where they just end up not even approaching people because they didn't take Action at the beginning of the night Okay, so when you when you start talking to people a step one. So just hey, what's up? How's your night going man? Cool. Yeah, I'm trying to get a drink to or hey, what's up? I'm Lloyd. Cool. What are you guys up to tonight?  You know just just start casual conversations get in high fives pick the energy up Okay, once you've done that step two is to kind of look around and see which girls that you want to talk to This happened to me actually like three or four weeks ago or something like that I think it was during st. Patty's day I walked into the bar and the bar was freaking packed like there was so many people there and There's tons of environments where you can have a packed crowd like festivals block parties Clubs all these places of super crowded environments in this case. It was a bar.  So it was very chaotic. I didn't want to be there But I did the things that I had to do the beginning. I'm feeling pretty good And I see a group of girls like four or five of them in the distance and I'm thinking okay I want to talk to those girls So step two is find a group of girls that you you know You want to talk to or group of people that you want to hang out with and make it go to them So I have to move through the crowd. I move through the crowd and To try and get to these close to these girls and this is kind of what hot girls will tend to do If the girls like a guy, they're not going to usually walk up and approach them But they will hang out near by them.   I see them do this and I see a lot of other guys do this Is they kind of just stand there and they wait For people to move out of their way People aren't just going to move out of their out of your way, dude Like you have to be more assertive you have to establish yourself and the way you do that is by you know, use your hands Push through don't be mean don't be aggressive But like maybe put a hand on their shoulder and then kind of slip in this way Or you can tap a guy in the shoulder to say hey, man We're trying to get through can we get through here and usually he'll make a little bit of room But you can't be scared to have some people brush up against your shoulders It's going to happen. You just got to get used to it So navigate through the crowd be assertive.  So navigate through the crowd Get close to them. Okay. Step three is once you've gotten close to them Just say something to get a reaction. Okay. Be loud when you do this when I walked up to them Um, there was a bar right in front of us and people were ordering drinks. So I was like, yeah Let me get a double double fries a milkshake and a bunch of people in front of me just started cracking up because I was Pretending like I was ordering from in and out so I I see which people are kind of like looking around at me. There's some dudes some dudes were giggling Three girls turned around and started kind of like laughing at my joke Um, one of them was like kind of interested two of them were pretty interested The two that were pretty interested I engaged the one that I thought was a little cuter And we just started talking. So I was like, we just started had some playful banter about how great in and out is how A bomb of fast food chain it is. Um, and then after we had a little bit of playful banter back and forth I was like, hey, what's up? I'm Lloyd has your night going and we just shook hands and she introduced herself Found out if she lived in the city or not I went through my five questions that I recommend that you guys say Every time you're talking to a girl if you haven't checked out that video Check out my video on five questions to ask that I ask every single girl when I'm out So I found out who she was with what her plan was for the night. Uh, seemed like a pretty pretty good match So, um, we make it to the bar and we're ordering drinks and I'm right next to this girl And we just had a, you know Typical conversation in this area This is going to be step four. I don't even know if this should be a step But whatever you have to speak Loudly and slowly if it's a loud crowded environment People are going to be interrupting your conversation. There's going to be music if she can't hear you She's probably not going to hang out with you also to People tend to assume that people with very loud voices Have more social power. I don't know why that's just the way it is people who are larger and have bigger voices They just people tend to assume that they have a little bit more um social status So be loud and if you I speak pretty fast So if you're out, I would speak at around a third of the pace that you're used to speaking And I try and do this too because what's going to happen is the sounds and the music it's going to be punching holes in what you're saying And if you speak slowly the holes that it punches into your words People are still going to be able to understand you and she's going to also speak slower too So you're actually going to be able to have a conversation And I know what you're thinking, but won't people be listening in alongside us? Yes, they should be you should get used to being the center of attention That's just something you got to get good at if you want to pick up girls what you're out Okay, I actually want people to be listening in because sometimes people will chime in and a girl will say something And if she seems really interested in that that conversation the girl that i'm talking to is kind of like whatever's about it I might just go and talk to her that happens all the time. Okay In this case it didn't happen All right, so we're finishing up our drinks and it's real crowded and I the next step the step I don't know what step we're on five. Is it five? I don't know But The next step is we need to get out of this crowd So it's time to move them once this happens. I'm like, hey, it's real crowded here We're heading to a bar next door you should come with or in this case. I said, oh my god It's so crowded here. Let's go find find a spot to sit down So I knew that she was With just one friend I figured that I thought she was a lot of times people assume that just because people are in a Group together that they're they they showed up together and they're together That's usually not true. Like a lot of times they literally just met So the only way that you know that is by actually opening and talking to them and using the five questions that I specified So if they say they're with a huge group of people and they want to stay with them No big deal But in this case she was with just one friend and they wanted to get out of this crowd too Usually people are kind of uncomfortable in crowds too. You're not the only one So I take her hand. I move her through the crowd again assertively and we go and we sit down She brought her friend with her my buddy who was waiting in the back Started talking to her friend. I'm talking to the girl that I started talking to and then I think after that We bounced to another bar and it was pretty smooth sailing from there So that's how you get a girl When you go into the crowd, that's how you get her to come out with you and then just continue business as you Usually would I would say that the biggest things that guys get wrong in this area are being overwhelmed not taking action at the beginning Not speaking loud enough not moving with enough authority when they're moving through the crowds You have to be you have to assume That you're important enough to establish yourself Dude, everyone in the crowd is nervous. Everyone's just as socially anxious as you are Stop getting in your own head get out of your own head and start doing the things that you have to do, okay Once you start doing these movements You start speaking louder and clearer and start leading people Then a lot more people are going to want to follow you and you're going to be able to have a lot more success With women they're looking for a guy to take charge They're looking for a guy to lead them around and if you can be that guy then you're going to be really successful Especially in large crowded environments So if you guys made it to the end consider subscribing I come up with videos like this every single week if you're interested in my weekly one-on-one mentorship program Shoot me an email of a single guy 2017 at gmail.com y'all have any questions Put them in the comment section below or you can shoot me an email too Would be happy to answer them in a video or respond to you that way.
