In the morning will be:
Picture This! Using the ‘Writing Essays by Pictures’ approach to teaching academic practice
Writing Essays by Pictures is a workbook for students who need help with researching and writing their first evidence based research essay for university. It explains academic practice that often remains hidden to students through everyday analogies and offers activities that allow students to explore the research and writing process in the step-by-step way of painting by numbers.
While the book was originally conceived as a workbook for students, it can also act as a resource for teachers, which will be further explored in this workshop with Dr Alke Groppel-Wegener, the author. Using a new activity, the Board Game Blueprint, designed to help students visualise the syllabus of a module, we will explore how to use the 'Writing Essays by Pictures' approach in day-to-day teaching, whether as a dedicated module or stand-alone support sessions.
All attendees will receive a copy of 'Writing Essays by Pictures' (list price £15).
In the afternoon we have:
Making (non-digital) educational games
In this afternoon workshop, we will follow a carefully scaffolded process to prototype educational games. Working in small groups, you will create a prototype game and share it with your fellow participants in just 3 hours. This process can then be followed after the event to quickly and easily create educational games and playful learning experiences for your learners in future.
All prototyping materials will be provided. You can find prototypes from some of the previous 'making games' workshops on the associated blog.
Regards,
Andrew
