Learning lessons - Imperial sets day aside to focus on innovative teaching. Next Tuesday's Education Day 2010 brings staff together to explore ways of enhancing the educational experience at Imperial News Nearly 300 people involved in education and student support at Imperial will take time out to explore the most innovative and effective approaches to teaching next week for the College's second Education Day. The day gives staff across the College the chance to come together for a series of sessions, workshops and exhibitions on what the College is currently doing to ensure it provides a world class education, as well as future opportunities for further enhancing students' educational experience. The day is divided into two main themes. For the first, participation, speakers will tackle subjects including how students can make the jump from school curricula to learning at university level and engaging industrial partners to provide hands on experience for students during their studies. Other sessions include experiences of giving undergraduates the opportunity to be teaching assistants and introducing ethics teaching in Engineering. The second strand highlights the possibilities and benefits of e-learning technology, with a daylong exhibition of the range of technologies available, from online lecture programmes to using flip video devices as well as Virtual Learning Environments such as Second Life.
