Huge congratulations to our 2020 David Jordan Teaching Award winners, Sarah Etherington, Margaux Horn and Llwyd Orton.
Sarah Etherington, Murdoch University, Australia was awarded funding to support her project entitled:
‘Promoting mastery of core physiological concepts through accessible, feedback-rich online modules.’
Etherington said “Work by Joel Michael and colleagues, with input from physiologists globally, has identified Core Concepts of physiology that can be used to promote understanding-, rather than recall-based study of physiology. The David Jordan Teaching award will enable me to create interactive, accessible, self-paced resources for physiology educators trying to support mastery of core physiological concepts among their students.”
Margaux Horn, Keele University, UK, was awarded funding to support her project entitled:
‘Development of digital escape rooms to support learning of physiology.’
Horn said: “I am delighted to have been awarded the David Jordan Teaching Award, and I am excited to develop and share new resources to support physiology teaching.”
Llwyd Orton, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK, was awarded funding to support his project entitled:
‘The Complete ‘How To’ Guide: Statistics for Physiologists (an open science YouTube series)’
Orton said: “I am thrilled and grateful to receive the David Jordan Award from The Physiological Society. This award will support the creation of an open and freely available series of videos to facilitate active learning and application of statistics by physiology students. This resource will be used to support students on the BSc and MSc Human Physiology degrees at Manchester Met and I’m hopeful it will be adopted by educators across the globe to help develop the next generation of physiologists.”
