This page contains a few remnants of material which was formerly up on my old website.
48-hour intensive workshop (28th April 2008)
Following the success of the flexibility of several ‘Twenty Top Teaching Techniques’ 1-day workshops, I’m offering a complete ‘Phil Race’ custom-designed workshop experience lasting 48 hours over three days, Tuesday lunchtime to Thursday lunchtime. This residential workshop format allows ten sessions, which can range widely over everything I do on learning, teaching, assessment, feedback and evaluation. This intensive workshop is designed for between 16 and 25 participants, and is constructed to focus flexibly on those aspects of my repertoire which is closest to the particular needs and wishes of those present.

Module Design Questionnaire (7th December 2007)
This remains ‘under development’. It allows people working in threes to ‘interrogate’ the design of a module, with a scorer marking (silently) out of 100 marks altogether. This caused really deep debates about module structure on its uses so far. Feedback on the questions much appreciated. Module design questionnaire (503)
Peer observation of lecturing (20th October 2007)
I know there are lots of proformas around, but here’s my attempt to invent a new one. Note that this proforma specifically addresses ‘a lecture’, and not just ‘teaching sessions’ broadly. I have strong reservations about those broad forms which attempt to address all sorts of teaching-learning contexts, but fail to focus adequately on the specific features of any particular context. I may in due course have a go at trying to compile a suite of different proformas, each aiming to give really useful peer-review (and indeed self-review) on different kinds of teaching-learning context. Thanks to many colleagues on the SEDA and NTF jiscmail lists who have already given feedback – and particularly Gaye Manwaring, whose suggestions helped to put the form into a more logical order. I’m continuously improving the form downloadable here on the basis of this feedback as it comes in, so watch out for changes in the download. All further feedback really welcome please.proforma (507)
