Tips for Teachers from Teachers

In the last few months we’ve reshaped how we deliver our education.  We’ve learnt to implement new tools and technologies and have stimulated learning through totally different channels than before.  In doing so we, as teaching staff, have learned a huge number of new skills, trialled and tested various teaching and learning methods and experienced for ourselves what works best for our students and our PBL approach.

This knowledge and experience is invaluable and will be of huge benefit in going forward.  Now we want to give you the opportunity to share your tips with others, so that a blended, flipped or online approach to education can be prepared and run more smoothly.

Do you or your colleagues have practical tips and tricks to share with the UM community?  If so, please send us your video or photo submissions so that we can develop this repository to inspire and help each other.
