Event Description
- Full Description:
- This special seminar will be delivered by Prof Gareth Denyer, and is aimed at staff and students with an interest in teaching, particularly in the sciences. During his career, Gareth was responsible for a regular stream of teaching innovations, mainly in eLearning and spanning a wide range of approaches including Virtual Reality, electronic Laboratory Notebooks, student-authored examinations, and Laboratory Data Generation. In the true spirit of learning by 'Productive Failure', a large number of those experiments were underwhelming or downright disastrous, but at least a handful blossomed and represent sweet spots in assessment, engagement, and academic sustainability. In this presentation, Gareth will (as candidly as modesty allows) showcase examples of triumphs and disasters and will reflect on why some initiatives work and why some don't.
