TALL helped Simon to realise his vision for teaching his first-year course on Vectors, Matrices and Determinants using a flipped classroom technique comprised of DIY videos and self-tests by providing an <a href=\"http:\/\/openmoodle.conted.ox.ac.uk\/course\/view.php?id=23\" target=\"_blank\">open Moodle platform<\/a>, which enabled him to easily collate his teaching resources and to contribute to the University\u2019s mission for global outreach by releasing his videos under Creative Commons and sharing them widely.<\/p>\n<p>Further information about Simon\u2019s course can be found in the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.it.ox.ac.uk\/oxtalent\/2016\/06\/14\/innov-teach-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\">Innovative teaching with technology<\/a> post on the OxTALENT blog and details of all the 2016 winners, runners up and recipients of honourable mention can be found in the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.it.ox.ac.uk\/oxtalent\/2016\/06\/14\/roll-of-honour-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\">OxTALENT 2016: Roll of Honour<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night the University of Oxford celebrated the innovative use of digital technologies to support teaching, learning, research and outreach at its annual OxTALENT award ceremony.
