Here are the main slides I used in my two full-day workshops at Swansea University – one on each campus. As well as working with the core material on both days, I followed up matters arising separately in each workshop, so the slides here contain most of the things we touched on collectively. For the ‘statements’ exercise, please use the ‘search’ function of this website. For more detail about the ‘ripples’ model of learning, please see the post below this one.  Swansea-2016-ww.pptx (698 downloads)

Conferences can be ideal occasions for reflecting. Sometimes they’re a luxury when all the day-to-day stuff isn’t pressing. But reflections just evaporate away unless they’re captured somehow – that’s what this piece is about.  shopping-conferences-and-reflecting.docx (685 downloads)

The word ‘quality’ has always perplexed me. Here’s a short attempt to explain why.  A-Question-of-Quality-w.docx (572 downloads)

Not about assessment or feedback or learning. My other passion is classical music, including the piece on which this ramble is based. If you like it, let me know – there’s more where this comes from!  returning-full-circle-1.docx (949 downloads)

I very much enjoyed my day with you. The main slides I used are here, minus pictures, videos etc. I got the feeling of a College which really cares about students – keep caring. My train journey back to Newcastle was punctual and pleasant. islington-2016-w.pptx (563 downloads)
