Guest Speaker Session overview: Introduction to creative pedagogies: Outdoor learning
This session will introduce creative pedagogies for active learning. Nathalie and Vicki will start with an overview of creative pedagogies and how they engage the head, heart and hands in learning. The practical focus is on outdoor pedagogies. Gareth will present interactive media work conducted with field school archaeology students surveying landscapes in Glencoe. Matt will present his work on eco-pedagogies with business and management students, focusing on authentic assessment in the era of AI and data. There will be opportunity for participants to reflect on and discuss the role of outdoor learning to actively engage students, exploring sub themes such as educational technology, inclusion, practical skills development, and assessment.
Speakers:
Nathalie Tasler and Vicki Dale are Senior Lecturers (Principal Advisers) in Academic and Digital Development at the University of Glasgow (UofG). Nathalie’s work focuses on creative pedagogies and Scholarship of Learning and Teaching. Vicki’s main remit is to champion staff development for active learning. Nathalie and Vicki are members of the Active Learning Network and UofG satellite group organising committee and co-teach ‘Creative Pedagogies for Active Learning’ on the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP).
Gareth Beale is Lecturer in Digital Archaeology at the University of Glasgow. His research focus is on the representation of the past using digital media and examines the interplay between contemporary practices of creativity, making and archaeological research. This carries through into Gareth’s teaching which makes extensive use of experimental media practice, including film making and game design.
Matt Offord is a Senior Lecturer in Leadership and Management Education. As a learning and teaching specialist, Matt focuses on business education through experiential learning. In practice this means offering experience-based alternatives to complement more traditional teaching. This could be through outdoor learning and field trips (ecopedagogy) or through games, such as business simulation games and educational escape rooms (games-based learning)
