Invitations to share practice

First: in how many ways, and in how many places is there some representation of your teaching practice?

Notes

  • Quite rightly, we think of teaching as centred on ourselves. But it sits inside larger systems that involve not only ourselves and our departmental colleagues, but students, administrators, timetablers, external examiners and so on.
  • What we’d like you to do is collect all the all the places that some representation of your module occurs None of them will be the "whole picture", all of them will be a partial view, created for a particular purpose and particular audience. Think about institutional requirements (programme approval?), and departmental requirements (entries in handbooks? module evaluation? archive of material?) as well as your own lecture notes etc., and materials generated by (or with) students - podcasts, slides, assessments etc.
  • Present it to us as a diagram, a list, a map, a catalogue – what ever you feel most comfortable with.

Who do you talk to about teaching?

Notes

We’re curious both as to the quantity of people you talk to about teaching, and the quality of those conversations.

So, we’d like to ask you to tell us who you talk to about teaching – and their connection to you - whether they’re a friend, colleague, family member how often you talk to them and the sort of thing you talk about – details of the material you cover? General issues of style and approach? Problems and issues? Or maybe good ideas you’ve seen or good ideas you’ve had?
