As lecturer in learning and teaching responsible for the PGCTHE, I keep an eye out for new resources to help our staff teach effectively online. This includes externally-provided webinars, toolkits, publications and other resources. Because active learning is high on our university agenda, I’m particularly keen to share guidance for moving active learning online.

Below I’ve listed items that came to my attention in the past week. In the interest of clarity, our policy is to show the titles and descriptions in the language of delivery.

• 16/7/2020 – AdvanceHE report with Tweet chat “There will be a chance to explore the findings of this report through a tweetchat on 16th July 15:30-17:30 BST #AdvanceHE_chat” and #LTHEchat. The final report from the Creating Socially Distanced Campuses and Education Project is now available.”
