About this event

This session shares the approach used for the implementation and evaluation of an innovative cycle of collaborative observation, which was undertaken over two academic years across three universities, involving diverse groups of students and teaching staff from varied disciplines. The session will be led by Professor Matt O’Leary, Professor of Education & Director of CSPACE research centre, as well as Dr Victoria Wright from the University of Loughborough, Dr Jenni Jones from the University of Wolverhampton, Dr Vanessa Cui from Birmingham City University and other members of the project team. 

The team have developed tried and tested resources, designed to help higher education providers implement this innovative cycle of collaborative observation to enable students and staff to work together on improving the quality of learning and teaching on their courses – in a way that is both authentic and sustainable. 

To get up to speed with the project, catch up on a podcast and the blogs shared on this page. As part of the session, we will include ample opportunities for discussion and Q&A.
