Michael Seery reports from the conference for chemistry teaching and learning in higher education

The annual Variety in Chemistry Education/Physics Higher Education Conference (ViCEPHEC) was held last week at the University of Nottingham. Local host Kyle Galloway and the organising committee put together a great programme.

Some of the highlights include a great keynote from Paula Heron: "Teaching by telling is ineffective for most students", Rosanna Wright's discussion on lab assessments and a presentation on some perceptions of maths for chemistry.
