Promoting teaching and learning
31 March 2006
果冻影院's fifth internal conference on sharing innovation and excellence in teaching was held on 29 and 30 March 2006.
'Teaching & Learning at 果冻影院: The Way Forward 2006' is likely the largest of its kind in the UK university sector. Thirty-five papers were presented and discussed, alongside 28 demonstrations and posters.
The event's wide-ranging programme included, but was not confined to, approaches that exploit communications and information technologies. Topics addressed ranged from novel widening-participation schemes in the 果冻影院 Medical School to the spatial literacy in teaching, and from 果冻影院 students in the global job market to online student-evaluation questionnaires.
Professor Michael Worton, Vice-Provost for Teaching & Learning, called the range of topics and discussion enormously instructive and imaginative. He said the projects presented were notable both for their risk-taking and for their alignment with 果冻影院's strategies for information, and for teaching and learning. Many were evidence of 果冻影院's determination to infuse its curriculum with global citizenship.
The event drew on expertise from across 果冻影院 departments, and was organised by 果冻影院 Education & Information Support Division (EISD).To find out more about teaching and lerarning at 果冻影院, or 果冻影院 EISD, use the links at the top of this article.
