Next week, we’ll be joining in with #creativeHE. It’s a group of educators who look at creative ideas for Learning & Teaching in HE. It’s grown from Manchester Metropolitan University’s PGCert, and now it operates as a community and discussion space to enable wider discussions and collaborations. To get an idea of what’s happened in the…Continue Reading Introducing: #creativeHE
Day 5: Reflection – and moving forward
Today, Sandra asks us to reflect on the week – in a creative way.

Day 1: Design a game!
Today’s #creativeHE activity is to design a game to help students with induction. If you caught the announcement they made on Friday (I’m afraid I didn’t) you’ll see they suggested that you collect lots of (clean) recycling.
