| Innovation in microbiology learning and teaching (Twiiter tag #sgmed10), Edinburgh, 30 March 2010 | When asked what they are looking for in a microbiology graduate, employers often stipulate a well-rounded individual who is self-motivated and can solve problems. This event, organised jointly by the Centre and the SGM, will give bioscientists the opportunity to discuss approaches to delivering this paragon. The day will look at fostering creativity, problem-solving and enquiry-based learning in the laboratory and field, and explore the impact of social networking tools on students? learning and teaching practice. Non-members may register for this session for the member rate of £60. | more |
| Enhancing Teaching and Learning in the Biosciences with Practical and Fieldwork Resources, Wednesday 31st March 2010, SB5 (provisional), 188 Tottenham Court Road, University College London, London | Finding, adopting and adapting resources to support practical work can be difficult. Many projects produce outputs which may be suitable for use in other institutions in similar (or even quite different) situations but for some reason fail to get adopted as widely as they could be. Some resources are 'stand-alone' and are used as provided while other resources may be built with further flexibility opportunities in mind. This event is an opportunity to explore resources which support practical teaching and learn more about how they were produced and how to adopt or adapt them. Follow at #cfbPFR | more |
