From here to there… reflections on a semester of the #bathblend
Along with the rest of the UK educational community, I have ensured that my courses @UniOfBath are Covid-ready. This means designing them according to the Bath Blend which includes independent (self paced) learning, Live Online Interactive Learning (LOIL) and In Person Time (IPT). In this blog I reflect on what has worked well (and less well) and what I would like to keep in the ‘new normal’. In short, my thoughts on how to design the blended experience in a social and inclusive way, while sharing best practice. I hope this might be of use to other educators and I’d be keen to hear about your experiences too (leave a comment or pingback to your own blog).

@UniOfBath students solve #brexit … again
Last year, I published a blog called, somewhat tongue in cheek, Team Based Learning solves Brexit This year, as the #brexit negotiations go the wire, I took the (last?) opportunity to use Brexit as a case study in #gametheory.
Caveat – I do not claim any special insights on Brexit, nor indeed Game Theory. This is blog is not intended to be political, or partisan. It’s chiefly about the application of #teambasedlearning in an online context. If that interests you, read on..

Like many of those in Higher Education, I have moved my teaching online. Since my sessions involve highly interactive team work and very little ‘lecturing’ this had proved a challenge. In this blog I present some reflections and learnings from my experience, in the hope it might be useful to others. My reflections cover; using the technology, team teaching, facilitating the session – and my key learning it takes longer than you think!

ESLTIS in Edinburgh
Enhancing Student Learning Through Innovative Scholarship (#ESLTIS19) was held this year in the wonderful Edinburgh Napier (July 18-19 2019) (photo credit: Tracey Madden)
Another great conference for those involved with teaching and learning in HE. Highlights for me included:
- A focus on active learning including playfulness, problem based and of course team based learning.
- A great community of academics and practitioners, already committed to innovation in teaching, where the “conversation can start at level 3” to paraphrase the welcoming statement from Prof Alyson Tobin.
- And of course Edinburgh itself (photo credit: Matthew Funnel, who got up earlier than I did!)
