Colleagues may already have seen that ESRC have recently launched an
intiative to fund research into Teaching and Learning either through
fellowships and/or networks.
The role of a network is to link institutions who are undertaking
substantial research in related topics/areas of T&L. At Staffordshire
University we have three major research projects which are
investigating T&L in design. Briefly these are:
- Experiential Learning in the HE design studio
- Core skills in HE design education
- Creativity and learning
I would like to find other research projects in this area with a view
to dialogue and exchange of ideas/papers etc. but also to see if we can
produce a rationale for a funded network.
If anyone is interested in the latter please get back to me fairly
quickly as the deadline for initial proposals in the beginning of April.
Other than that, we would be really interested in hearing from
colleagues who are researching this important area.
