Academic papers

Members of the team are committed to sharing best practice between colleagues and the Teacher Fellow led 'Illuminating Practice' publication provides an ideal platform to disseminate interesting and innovative ideas. Four papers have been published and these are:

'Expanding the boundaries of the classroom with blogs and google groups' - an overview of how various ICT platforms can help engage learners.

'If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?' - an overview of how collaboration with colleagues, short projects and application of a variety of research methodologies can assist learners on the HIPS programme and beyond.

'It is amazing how much you can accomplish when it doesn’t matter who gets the credit' - an insight into teaching and learning strategies between two sections. The subject matter detailed information on the importance of effective communication with clients and filming oral presentation techniques (by students) for use cross college.

'You say you want a Wiki revolution...' - a follow up article on Wiki use with student feedback.

A fifth article was written on feedback entitled 'What is the shortest word in the English language that contains the letters abcdef? Answer: Feedback. But don't forget that feedback is arguably one of the most important elements of effective communication'.  The Illuminating Practice where this article was scheduled for was never published unfortunately..

Copies of Illuminating Practice are available from the Teacher Fellows though, or on the Communication and English shared drive.
