Emma Leech, Director of Communications and Marketing at the University of Nottingham, speaks about Social media for interacting with students.

Charles Crook, Associate Professor & Reader in ICT and Education in the School of Education at the University of Nottingham speaks about the use of social media for learning in Higher Education.

Dr Sarah Westwater-Wood from the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Physiotherapy talks about her experiences of running an online exam for the first time using TouchStone. Sarah used the system to assess statistical knowledge in Nursing students. What is quite novel about her approach is that for part of the exam candidates had to switch over to the statistics package SPSS to do some data manipulations and then choose the correct answer back in the TouchStone exam paper.

Dr Steven Burr from the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Nottingham talks about his experiences of using TouchStone on three different degrees across the schools of Biomedical Sciences and Pharmacy. He has experience of very large scale examination, of up to 360 simultaneous candidates, and experience cross-continent with exams running for Pharmacy in both the United Kingdom and Malaysia.

To celebrate the launch of TouchStone as the centrally supported e-assessment tool at the University of Nottingham, a launch event took place on Wednesday 3rd November.

This video is of Simon Wilkinson, lead developer, giving an overview of TouchStone and exploring new developments and features suitable for wider University adoption (such as LaTeX support, invigilator support, foreign language support and randomised questions).
