TeachMeetARU is about sharing ideas with fellow educators on learning, teaching and assessment techniques.
In 2018 we held two TeachMeets focused on active learning: one in Chelmsford and one in Cambridge.
Both events started with the keynote presentation Active learning pedagogies to generate learning gain and confidence gain in the classroom given by Dr Fabio Arico of University of East Anglia.
The keynote was followed by nano and micro presentations. View the slides and videos below.
