I recently attended the HEA workshop for those of us who have recently won an Individual Teaching Development grant. Lots of techniques at play to ensure we interacted as widely as possible which was important as there were about 60 folk in attendance.

Specifically I came across several people, and hence several institutions, who are developing case studies and resources to contribute to the teaching of research methods. Those of us who are planning contextual and discipline-based cases to illuminate methods, for instance on our quantitative methods initiative, agreed to explore the possibility of sharing our efforts. Since the creation of cases takes time, such sharing would allow is to move much more quickly in having a rich and diverse set of examples. A potential collaborative teaching development grant application was also considered. Watch this space……
