Higher Education Workshops

The Education and Teaching Theme supports a number of informal workshops and symposia throughout the year. Events are hosted across the country to enable as many of our Members as possible to attend. The aim of these events is to promote the sharing of best practice in all aspects of teaching, learning and assessment: from laboratory and project-based work, to lectures and small group tutorials.

Feedback from the workshops to The Society’s Committees is a key factor in influencing Society policy and identifying future activities and initiatives.

Forthcoming Workshops

The next workshop, entitled Standard Setting in Physiology, will take place at Physiology 2012.

Previous Workshops

The University of Birmingham hosted a workshop on 19 December 2011 entitled Feedforward and Feedback in Physiology Teaching. There were sessions on methods of feedback and feedforward, a collaborative research project workshop and a physiology teaching swap-shop.

Bristol University hosted a workshop on 22 September 2011, entitled Using Assessment to Engage Students & Enhance their Learning. The workshop provided a discussion forum for the critical evaluation of assessment that will maintain or raise the quality of the student experience in the face of diminishing staff resource.

A wiki page was also established to facilitate discussion about the meeting. Please note that this can only be edited by University of Bristol Staff.
