In a nutshell - teaching and learning development in less than 5 minutes

Never have enough time to engage with opportunities to develop your teaching and learning?

In a nutshells are multimedia equivalents of an executive summary. Our aim is that, in less than 5 minutes, we provide you with enough information to make an informed decision about whether you would like to learn more about a teaching and learning topic or not, and provide key links and resources to get you started. In a nutshells are flash files, however printable equivalents are available.

Any informal feedback about the In a nutshell initiative is welcome - please contact Diana Quinn or a member of the Academic development team at the Learning and Teaching Unit. You can request new a In a nutshell topic using this form.
