Professional Development EventDeveloping Laboratory Skills for the 21st CenturyWednesday, 19 May 2010Room T1-20, Science Centre, London Metropolitan University, 166-220 Holloway Road, London N7 8DB. The bioscience disciplines are empirical in nature and as such the UK Centre for Bioscience believes appropriate exposure to practical work is an essential component of any bioscience degree. The educational literature clearly supports learning by doing and the benefits of practical work to the majority of students are clear. However, practical work is expensive (in terms of staff time, consumables and building costs) and in a climate of reduced unit resource practical work will come under further pressure. The event was in partnership with the Centre For Excellence in Active and Intractive Learning (CEAIL) CETL and the UK Centre for Bioscience and highlighted the works of the CEAIL CETL and Experiential Learning (EL) CETL and that of the UK Centre for Bioscience. By attending this event you have had the opportunity to hear from key researchers in the area, learn about various project as well as discuss pertinent issues with colleagues.
