Bioscience Workshop Materials

This section contains selected materials relating to different aspects of bioscience education that could be used in workshops or in staff development activities. Further items will be added as they become available.

If you use any of the following materials with your colleagues and find them useful, please let us know about your experiences of using them, so we can share this information with others and consider your thoughts in developing further resources. Thank you.

Audits

Under the Resources section we have a number of developmental Audit tools available.

Audits are a good way to initiate discussion and facilitate development on an issue. They enable you to make clear the range of activities which may contribute to the issue and the process can also reassure colleagues that quite a lot of work may already be developed in the area.

Current audits address the themes of Assessment, Employability, Work Placements and Work Related Learning. Go to the Audit tools

Bioscience Teaching Case-studies

We have a collection of case studies that are examples of effective learning, teaching and assessment practice written by bioscience teachers. Each case study provides an outline of something that has been tried and found to worked well with students.

Ethics teaching in the biosciences

As part of the ETHICS project, the centre is seeking tried and tested contextualised scenarios (case-studies) raising ethical issues or moral dilemmas pertaining to the biosciences.
