A presentation from the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University Google Apps for Learning and Teaching workshop, 2014. This talk presents a case study of a first year undergraduate module, Introduction to Linguistics, in which students created a website to promote linguistics to prospective students. It consider how this was made possible through the use of a range of Google tools, including Google Sites to build the website itself and to promote collaboration between groups. The presentation shows how using Google Hangouts helped to solve the perennial problem of students complaining that it is impossible to coordinate everyone’s timetables to get together outside class; looks at how students used Google Docs to create materials; shows how Google Forms were used to manage the website’s launch event and student evaluation; and demonstrates how features of Google Calendar streamlined the scheduling of consultation sessions. The shows the potential these Google tools hold for innovation in learning and teaching, and how they can increase students intrinsic motivation through by facilitating an authentic learning experience and ownership of learning.
