Context

Viewpoints

• Principle-based discussion• Use of cards representing

principles and key ideas

Devise a detailed plan to explain exactly what you and the students will do in 'lecture time.' Think about the following questions:

Is this for: a ‘one off’ lecture? For all lectures in the module? For practice throughout the course?

What are the main challenges to you as lecturer?

What are the main challenges to your students? How will you address the challenges? What are the benefits and how will you monitor

these?

Task: thinking about scope and detail

Main idea

• Spread the cards out, face up

• Select one principle each• In turn, explain why you

think the principle on the card would help, and why

• As a group pick one or two cards to work with

Whiteboarding - capturing the ideas

Stick your selected card(s) on the whiteboard

Draw or make notes around the card as you talk

Make the key ideas bold and clear so that they photograph well

Your 'Academic Lead' should be able to talk through the key ideas

Video the 'talk through'

Viewpoints - developing the detail

Discuss the principles...

Then turn each card over and look at the ideas

Can you apply one or more of these ideas? How?
