  • Concept bites

    Dr Fiona Dickinson, from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bath, explains her use of concept bite videos in a concept bite video. This is a recorded version of  a case study presentation at a Director of Studies...

  • Writing Mathematics

    Dr Euan Spence, from the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, discusses the need for new undergraduates to learn how to write mathematics, words as well as equations.

  • Theorem, Idea, Proof

    Dr Euan Spence, from the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, discusses the challenge for new undergraduates of learning proofs from a maths course, and teaching the central idea of the proof as a key stage.

  • Evolving computational techniques in teaching

    Dr Christopher Pudney, from the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath, discusses updating the computational techniques used by students to keep up with evolving modern computer power and modern practice in reality.

  • Using quick informal student feedback

    Dr Christopher Pudney, from the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath, discusses the benefits of using quick informal methods to gain student feedback for his teaching.

  • Experience of lecture capture

    Dr Christopher Pudney, from the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath, reflects on his experience of recording lectures and discusses his rationale for doing so.

  • Flipping the right thing

    Dr Christopher Pudney, from the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at the University of Bath, considers the benefits and challenges of flipping in his teaching and how to choose what to flip and what to not flip.

  • Engaged learning through impediment free and active teaching

    Peter A. Sloan FHEA PhD MChemPhys, Department of Physics Peter wrote small piece on his approach and philosophy to teaching with a copy first published on his blog - here it is:
