  • Herbarium News
    Herbarium News University of Reading Herbarium Newsletter Issue No. 45, December 2008. ISSN 0953-0080 URL: www.herbarium.reading.ac.uk INTRODUCTION Welcome to another Christmas Herbarium News. As with every edition we have much to report! During the last year a number of important things have happened, not least the refurbishment of two of our taxonomy laboratories (more details below). We have also changed the name of our building from ‘Plant Science Laboratories’ to ‘The Harborne Building’ to commemorate Jeffrey Harborne, FRS, our late lamented phytochemist. This is in line with University policy to name buildings after people, and the new biomolecular sciences building (behind Chemistry) for our medical and pharmacy researchers will be called the Hopkins Building, after the late Professor Harold Hopkins, sometime Professor in Physics here who developed fibre optics and the endoscope. The Herbarium has been especially busy having now completed the incorporation of the Herbarium from the University of Southampton, again see below. HERBARIUM REVIEW AND STRATEGY Our School of Biological Sciences recently undertook a review of the Herbarium, along with the Cole Museum of Zoology and a number of other issues. Ours was led by Professor Philip John with Professor Martin Bell (Archaeology), Kate Arnold-Foster (Head of the University’s Museums and Special Collections Service and Dr Karen Henderson (Head of Technical Services, Biological Sciences). They were very positive and have recommended that a Herbarium Strategy be drawn up for the next five years, currently in progress. Senate also positively noted the Herbarium’s growing level of engagement with the University and the likely increase in the commercial value of this resource.

  • Oxford Brookes University Access and Participation Plan
    Oxford Brookes University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 1. Assessment of performance Unless stated otherwise, the analyses in this report draw on data from UK-domiciled, undergraduate students studying full-time or sandwich courses at Oxford Brookes University and at our Associate College Partnerships. Where possible we have referenced national higher education data sources supplemented with internal data. Unless otherwise stated the data sources by life cycle stage are as follows: ● Applicant data are from UCAS end of cycle reports, from UCAS Undergraduate reports by sex, area background, and ethnic group, or from purchased UCAS EXACT data. ● Entrant, Continuation, Attainment and Progression data are from the OfS Access and Participation data resources. ● National data, including that from HESA, UCAS and TEF metrics, were used for sector benchmarks. ● Regional population data is derived from the Local Authority. Additional analysis has been undertaken on the relative performance of Oxford Brookes students registered through the University’s Associate College Partnerships. This analysis has shown some gaps in performance against the data for the average of ACPs, which has led to the initiation of discussions with college partners to pinpoint where gaps are significant and to work with partners to better understand the data and to develop action plans to address differences in access, success and progression.

  • Reporting on Student Perceptions of E-Learning at Cardiff Law School V
    The Odd Case of the Legal Foundation Module: Reporting on Student Perceptions of e-learning at Cardiff Law School V. Breda L.LB, PhD Lecturer in Law at Cardiff Law School N. Langton L.LB, MA Blended Learning Adviser, Institute of Education, University of Reading. Key Words E-learning, Teaching Efficiency, Qualitative Analysis, Law Student Perceptions, Abstract. The debate over whether online activities enhance learning has also been occurring in legal education. For Cardiff Law School, where pedagogy dictates the ‘blend’ of traditional and online support, the question has been whether complementing or substituting traditional teaching activities with e-learning tasks and resources (e-blend) can enhance Cardiff Law School students’ overall pedagogical experiences. This paper reports on a project that explored aspects of this dilemma by investigating Cardiff Law School students’ perceptions, with a particular focus on the value they placed on e-learning resources and tasks. The research methodology adopted integrates quantitative data (student results) with a qualitative analysis (semi-structured focus group interviews). The Odd Case of the Legal Foundation Module: Reporting on Student Perceptions of e-learning at Cardiff Law School British Higher Education legal teaching is typically faced with the burden of increased substantive teaching complexity, reduced preparation time, and institutional research pressure. An ongoing debate is raging over whether e-learning innovations can have any lasting effect outside facilitating information delivery/retrieval for students. For Cardiff Law School, where pedagogy dictates how traditional and online support may combine, the dilemma has been whether integrating e-learning activities and resources with traditional teaching can enhance learning and at the same time increase teaching efficacy (e.g.

  • Investigating and Enhancing Motivation for Reading
    SeNSS ESRC -FUNDED COLLABORATIVE STUDENTSHIP OPPORTUNITY Investigating and enhancing motivation for reading Primary supervisor: Dr. Saloni Krishnan Institution Details: Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London Collaborative partner: The Reading Agency SeNSS Pathway: Psychology Degree structure: either a three-year PhD programme, or a one year Masters degree, followed by a three -year PhD programme Project background Reading ability influences academic achievement, career prospects. and personal well-being. But why are some people more motivated to read? This project takes a new perspective on reading acquisition, drawing on complementary strengths of the academic supervisors, Dr. Krishnan (brain and language), Dr. Ricketts (reading and vocabulary), and Dr. Balsters (social decision making). We will use models from decision making to capture how much time, effort, and money people are willing to expend on reading. We will also explore the brain basis of motivation using neuroimaging tools (fMRI). The Reading Agency is an Arts Council-funded, UK-wide charity that works to tackle life’s big challenges (literacy, health and wellbeing, social mobility and loneliness) through the proven power of reading. They deliver several successful programmes to boost reading, including the Summer Reading Challenge, Reading Ahead, and Quick Reads. A collaboration with The Reading Agency will enable us to address whether motivation for reading differs in those with low literacy and explore how environments can be nudged to boost motivation. The successful candidate will be hosted at the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. The Department has an excellent research reputation (6th in REF2014), an active postgraduate communit y, and cutting-edge facilities for research, including an on-site MRI scanner.

  • Learning Design Initiative at the University of Reading: Pedagogy and Technological Choices
    OU Learning Design Initiative University of Reading pilot project: Final Report: February, 2012 Learning Design Initiative at the University of Reading: Pedagogy and technological choices By Maria- Christiana Papaefthimiou, Enhancement Manager, Centre for the Development of Teaching and Learning Acknowledgement: The project would like to thank Sarah Fleming for her contribution to this report Abstract The University of Reading's aims for this pilot were threefold: 1. To provide strategies that enable academics to think critically about their design decisions, and promote wider reflection and discussion between academics and others. 2. Promote the use of representations and visualisations of courses or modules to facilitate wider sharing and collaboration at the University of Reading i.e. beyond the localised pockets of good practice identified in the e-benchmarking and Pathfinder projects. 3. Support academic need in a changing context e.g. improve aspects of efficiency and quality. A series of interventions were developed and embedded, including: Learning design workshops, focused work with new staff enrolled on the University's Post-graduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP) programme and engagement activities with the University's School eLearning Coordinators (SeLCs) Overall the initiative was seen to have a positive impact in a number of areas. The tools were seen to have had a positive impact on the quality of a number of module designs, as perceived by the design teams themselves and their students. Staff were supported to understand how their modules fit together which in turn enabled them to make more informed design decisions and feel more confident about explaining their designs to others.
