I’ve got good news to share. Our workshop proposal (Special Collection Artefacts as a Catalyst for Curiosity, Criticality and Creative Thinking ) has been accepted for the ALDinHE 2020 Conference. 

My colleagues from IOE, University of Bedfordshire, Phil and I will be running a workshop. Participants will experience OBL through a hands-on activity using special collection artefacts from the University of Northampton Archives. The presenters will share examples of how this teaching method has been used in different learning contexts in their own practice and participants will then have the opportunity to reflect on their experience of the activity and the potential value of special collection artefacts and OBL for their own practice.
