ARLIS Research award - So you want to teach with materials? Or, things to consider before developing a materials library. by Billie Coxhead https://padlet.com/bcoxhead1/c77shv4l0p5eekzf A knowledge exchange project between Billie Coxhead (University of the Arts London), Fiona Dowling (UWE Bristol) and Morwenna Peters (UWE Bristol) resulting in the development of a set of resources for educators to use materials in teaching settings. Sharing their combined knowledge and interests in developing students' materials literacy, the research project aimed to explore how a materials library could be used and (spoiler) how you don't necessarily need one to deliver great workshops.  en-us 2024-12-03 11:03:35 UTC 2026-06-01 16:20:58 UTC hello@padlet.com So you want to teach with materials?
