The Valuable Ideas in Teaching And Learning (VITAL) database died a long a painful death. Already sick and very confused, the home-grown database was mortally wounded by a virus in September 2008 and died. But out of the ashes arises the new VITAL - bigger better and more user-friendly blogger version.
VITAL ideas are shared in person through Student Engagement Swap Shops. Using a template, academics share their great ideas to engage students with their colleagues. The process is mediated through academic development staff member in the Learning and Teaching Unit on your campus.
In this version of VITAL you can add labels to your post to help your ideas be linked to others, e.g.
- Your discipline (e.g. Engineering, Nursing, Speech pathology)
- Teaching-research nexus
- Practice-based learning
- Service learning
- Graduate qualities
- ADRI
- Flexible learning environments
- Concepts
Feel free to comment on the ideas of others - sharing similar experiences and what happened if you tried the idea in a new context. Comments are moderated and as such there will be a delay before they appear.
