Excellent overview of the detailed statistical analysis

brilliant online resource for maths! Contains tutorials created by high school students, as well as teachers. The style and approach appeals to students since it is created by their own peers who think like them

How can we make students take ownership of their learning process? This video explores some examples from Alan November. He tells anecdotes of when student feel they have a purpose to their work/learning and a legacy to leave: how positively this impacts the learning process.

This clip shows a real lecture where Personal Response System and interactive teaching with peer instruction are used effectively in Physics teaching. For those teaching large classes and/or Science and Engineering this is a great demonstration of the technique.

This link is to a chapter from Volume 1 of "Research-Based Reform of University Physics" which presents the background, design, and impact of Peer Instruction that was popularized by Eric Mazur. Excellent resource for Science, especially Physics teachers.

"Flipped learning is an approach to learning in which the order of the typical classroom lecture and work outside the classroom are reversed. Instead of the classroom lectures preceding assignments,...

Extremely useful article on the content and the design of the online courses. Kolb (1984) identifies four learning styles which work with the learning modes. A short description of the learning styles can be found in original work with much greater detail in this paper Implementing Kolb's Learning Styles into Online Distance Education

Having read around I like the people everyone likes - Schon, Moon, Gibbs - however this little blog post and recording by Jenny Mackness has helped put it into practical terms and I can now see a glimpse of what Neal has " been on about"!

I have been told twice, very recently, and quite often in the past - that I am a glass half empty person. In other words I am a pessimist and the implication is that this is not good. Good would be...

LEaD this year are developing and sharing expertise around inclusive learning - I wonder if Wolverhampton would come and do a piece at our conference learning@city in June? This project will deliver a new module around the idea of inclusive teaching that will be available for the professional development of teaching and support staff.
