Brunel University: 30th June 2011

Here are the main slides I used during my day with you, in a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder (minus the pictures and distractions). I’ve included a few additional slides which should be self-explanatory to those present. You were a small group, but got into some excellent discussion of the issues involved. Brunel 1 (167). Please do encourage colleagues to come to my session on 13th July – the more the merrier.

West Suffolk College: 1st June

Here are the main slides I used in my day with you at Ickworth West Wing on 1st June. The slides are not quite in the order we used them, as I dipped and dived as usual around things on my laptop- and indeed there’s the odd extra slide you didn’t see (but to keep the file size manageable, I removed pictures and other links). It was great working with you all, and in such a lovely venue. West Suffolk College (221).

Welcome to new look website

Some things are not in the same place as before – the revamp has been necessitated by an incidence of hacking, by an organisation selling fake handbags! (You couldn’t make it up, could you?). Many thanks to my webmaster Ed Philips for restoring the site for me.

Workshops Prospectus 2011-12

(From Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia). For once the sun didn’t come out (and it was my day off), so I’ve updated my workshop prospectus, pruning some programmes down to half-days instead of full days, deleting some programmes altogether, but retaining the popular ‘Making Teaching Work’ and ‘Making Learning Happen’ as full-day programmes.

26th April to 30th May: Working visit to Singapore and Australia

Sally and I will be working in Australia (with a brief en-route visit to Singapore) from 26th April, arriving back in Newcastle on 30th May. We will be visiting Townsville, Cairns, Sunshine Coast, Rockhampton and Brisbane on this tour. I will continue to post updates and presentations on a separate page (Singapore and Australia 2011 page) of this website during our visit.  PowerPoint files on this page are password protected, with passwords agreed along the route (so that the ‘right answers’ to some exercises don’t leak ahead of me on the trip!! I expect to pick up emails as normal from time to time, though there will be be travelling times when I could be slow to reply.
Colleagues and clients in the UK: please continue to email me as normal.

Handouts and flier
Here is a flier about my background and work, which can be downloaded and issued to participants Phil Race flier (291).

University of Bedfordshire

Here are the main slides (lots of them) I used in our busy workshop on April 7th. It’s a PowerPoint 2007 file in a zipped folder. I removed the pictures (and diversions) to keep the file size manageable. You can now also see red when you look at the slides in the first half of the programme, before I replaced the faulty VGA lead. You were a wonderful group to work with. Smarter Feedback (252)
