A centre of excellence
What can be learned from the Bristol ChemLabS centre for excellence in teaching and learning 10 years on? Timothy Harrison, Nicholas Norman and Dudley Shallcross explain
Bristol ChemLabS, the centre for excellence in teaching and learning (CETL) in practical chemistry at the University of Bristol, is 10 years old.
The centre was created by the school of chemistry with a £5m award from HEFCE. This also funded the development of teaching resources that transformed the practical experience for chemistry undergraduates, with associated benefits for postgraduate students, school pupils, their teachers and the general public.
Timothy Harrison, Nicholas Norman and Dudley Shallcross explain how the teaching laboratories were refurbished to create the centre, the web-based dynamic laboratory manual and the outreach programmes with ChemLabS have enabled in the last ten years.
