Database of ideas and examples

About the database

We are pleased to announce the launch of a University-wide database of ideas and examples relating to learning and teaching. The database provides a searchable resource of ideas and examples to help staff at the University reflect upon their teaching and to raise awareness of a variety of solutions to learning and teaching issues.

Nominate an example

All members of the University are invited to contribute further examples for inclusion on the database using either the online or word forms below:

• Nomination form (word doc)
• Online nomination form

We hope that the database will be a useful resource and that faculties & departments will find it to be a good means of disseminating and promoting their innovative, interesting or particularly effective practices and projects.

Have You Tried?

From time to time we publish 'Have You Tried' documents which draw together ideas and examples around a particular theme. These documents may be downloaded as .pdf files:

• Feedback to students on academic performance and progression
• Supporting student representatives
• Preventing plagiarism
• Marking examination essays
• Student feedback
• Preparing examination questions
