Pre-conference Workshop:Your students and their Models of Engaged Learning and Teaching

Colleagues attended the pre-conference workshop, Wednesday 7 July which connected to the theme of ‘students as partners’, and used a process similar to that used with students engaging with MELT.

Below you will find the PDF version of the workshop powerpoint and the activity with links to urls that I asked the audience to contribute to.

Most importantly there is a version of MELT called ‘Basic Skills for Laboratory Practice’ that Alison Reid and colleagues made during the workshop and that Alison kindly agreed to share.
