Winter Event

On February 23, 2009 teachingcommons held its Winter Dam House Event where students and university staff discussed the question, "What metaphors and analogies do we use to make sense of teaching?"

If you want to know more about the discussions people had at the event you can read participant blog posts on the Good Practice Blog.

Also, you can access the Winter Dam House Event playlist on the teachingcommons YouTube channel to see and hear some examples of what was discussed (most of these videos were recorded by the participants themselves during the discussions so some of the recording and sound is of poor quality).

And finally, you can look at photos from the event on our Flickr set.

Over the next few months more blog posts, videos and photos related to the event will be uploaded, so be sure to check this page regularly!
