Thanks, Kim! Further to Kim's timely reminder about Learn Higher's excellent resources, this is just to remind folks that the Learn Higher Working Group have been working to further improve and develop the site's resources. The new site will include more extensive advice and guidance on integrating these materials into teaching. Those who attended the ALDinHE Conference in Plymouth may already have seen examples some of the work that has been done. As soon as this work is complete and ready to access, the Learn Higher Working Group will alert the list.

Instead of (please excuse cliché use) 'reinventing the wheel', I was wondering if any of you could recommend Creative Commons sites, which cover topics such as: Critical thinking/writing/reading Reflection/reflective writing Academic writing, specifically lit reviews Paraphrasing/synthesising Research skills Exam Technique Thanks in advance, Dickson.
