Learnhigher – An Excellent Resource for All Teachers

By Tarun Patel

Dear friends,

we have not been able to publish the latest issue of ELTWeekly this time due to some technical problems.

I am making this post for you to share information about an excellent resource for teachers and students, Learnhigher – launched by the Universities of Brunel, Bradford and Leeds.

This site is designed to help both students and tutors understand and overcome the challenges of group work. The learning path involves a series of 10 episodes, taking five students through the journey of a group work project. Each episode highlights a different aspect of working as part of a group and includes a number of video clips, audio clips as well as observation and discussion points. There are also a range of additional resources that can be accessed to expand upon or reinforce points raised within the episode.

The resource can be used independently or as part of a tutor led session. Users can dip in and out of the episodes or follow the students through their task from start to finish. To launch straight in, select The episodes option from the menu (new users may find it useful to take a look at the Technical ‘need to know‘,Moving around and Accessibility options first). If you find you need some help there are help pages for both students and for tutors.

Visit Learnhigher and utilize the video contents developed by the Universities of Brunel, Bradford and Leeds.
