This session describes and evaluates the adaptation of Impact Case studies submitted to REF2014 by Faculty of Biological Sciences to create on-line teaching materials for an innovative new module. The module which uses a flipped teaching approach is open to students without a science background and explores projects from across the spectrum of biological sciences from ecology to cells. The aim of the material is to introduce students to research carried out by staff in their own Faculty and the range of possible impacts of research. The module delivery focuses on development of important generic skills including teamwork writing for different audiences oral presentation and reflection on learning. The challenges involved in the design delivery and assessment of this module and evaluation of students’ attitudes to research will be discussed.
