Discover how a flexible, adaptable 3-week summer project focusing on science communication can enhance bioscience students’ academic and professional skill gains, placement attainment rates, confidence, as well as provide a transnational educational opportunity.
Dr Alessio Iannetti (FMS) explored how best to support international students—while comparing their needs to those of home students. Guided by student and colleagues feedback, his pilot project suggests practical ways to strengthen support and foster inclusive learning communities.
Find out if Dr Rachelle Maddison and Dr Raghda Zahran could use Canvas New Analytics to check whether a small cohort of international students could access resources in their own countries.
The aim of this project was to produce an online lab health and safety package to support students from Biomedicine, Sports and Nutrition. Academic staff were finding it difficult to monitor student engagement with the module handbook and lab code of conduct and wanted to have a more standardised approach to ensure that all students are aware of and complying with health and safety requirements in the lab.
Can animations and team based flipped learning help students to start to think like experts? Dr Emma Cockburn shares her approach to a one hour lecture with Sport and Exercise Science Students.
