Faculty poster at 2016 summer Learning & Teaching Conference

Peter Draper writes: The Faculty made a big contribution to the University Learning and Teaching conference this year, as  three teams displayed posters with details of their work.  The title of Jan Hunter and Michelle Chappell’s work was ‘Academic support tutor (AST): what has changed’?  Clare Whitfield, Michelle Kennedy and Julie MacDonald presented a poster entitled ‘Support provided to international students studying in FHSC’.  The work behind both of these posters was undertaken during the Fast Track Teaching and Learning programme.

Additionally, Jennifer Loke and Emma Bush worked with Bryant K Lee (HYMS) to present their poster ‘Caring Behaviours: A mixed methods approach to establish the effects of a blended approach to learning’.

Congratulations to all of these colleagues on their excellent presentations.
