The theme for this year’s Teaching Forum was ‘Think BIG.. start small.’
Innovative teaching is sometimes too big a problem to tackle easily so the focus of this year’s symposium was on adopting small changes to teaching practice designed to have a big impact on learning outcomes for students. Speakers shared small changes to their teaching which had created a noticeable impact. These included re-energising students mid-lecture with learning session activities, introducing pre-lecture Canvas quizzes to courses and support for managing successful video assignments. The event was well attended by University staff both from within and outside of the Business School.
Our Twitter feed during the event was buzzing with comments and praise for the speakers and the ideas generated during the Forum provided some excellent take-away ideas for the audience to implement in their own courses.
