Hi all,
I have a question about the extent to which teaching staff in the disciplines seek out LD-type teaching resources for their own use. Plymouth were of course partners in LearnHigher, and together we built a resourceful of resources that we draw upon. We have an ethos of openness and sharing here at PU, however all our other workshop materials are hidden away behind the scenes. This might be because they are often, I confess, un-annotated Powerpoint slides – but many of the activities and practices within them are nonetheless valuable. We want to help lecturers embed learning development in their teaching. How much evidence is there that they really do seek out online LD resources to use in their teaching? Would a significant number more readily look up resources online than speak to us directly? (Sadly it is rare that they ask us to help them do it rather than just asking us to do it for them, and I’m wondering how we can foster more of the former.)
I haven’t actually consulted with my team yet, and colleagues might be horrified that I’m missing a huge swathe of literature or other evidence/discussion on this, but thanks if you can help.
