The first day explored the scope of OU’s learning and teaching resources for engaging students in active learning and NOUN’s progress in practical Science education. The second day asked to put our thinking\u00a0hats on and look for opportunities for collaboration from which both institutions could learn.\u00a0Two pathways for NOUN-OU collaboration were identified – a collaborative investigation of the design and delivery of practical STEM curriculum at NOUN, and an NOUN-OU PhD\/Postdoc training programme: STEM+(learning design).<\/p>\n
This event was funded by OU’s RAS and eSTEeM and supported by the\u00a0International Development SRA and School of E&I.<\/p>\n
