Two days of innovation and sharing
The annual Variety in Chemistry Education meeting was co-hosted with the Physics Higher Education Conference again this year and over 90 educators descended on the University of Liverpool for two days of sharing innovative teaching methods.
PeerWise continues to be showcased as a useful tool in student self- and peer-assessment. James Gaynor and Gita Sedghi (Liverpool) used PeerWise for embedding fundamental threshold concepts and as a revision tool. Kyle Galloway (Nottingham) used it as a way to introduce synoptic activities to address students compartmentalising their learning in line with modules.
The integration of transferable skills was another common theme.
