In homage to BBC Radio 4’s ‘Desert Island Discs’, Tunde’s four invited lecturers identify a teaching prop or pedagogy to take to their Treasure Islands, for the cherished face to face contact time with students on campus, together with a luxury item for a bit of downtime from teaching.
In this episode, Dr Kathryn Fox, Dr Helen Vaughan, Dr James Cooper and Dr Matthew Fitzjohn share their lightbulb moments, including getting students to ‘take’ feedback, the importance of reflection, using play for conceptual understanding with Lego and ways of engaging environmental science students with hydrology. We also hear how the coronavirus pandemic has encouraged creativity when preparing for Hybrid Active Learning and socially distanced teaching.Listen to the podcast below.
Episode 1 of the podcast can be found here along with podcasts from a previous podcast series From The Beatles to Beefheart.
