Reflections on introducing mature students to mathematics
CETL-MSOR 2014 at Cardiff University (8/9 September 2014):
What particular ideas and practices are you taking away from the Conference?
- “Loads – from using of electronic pens to giving students more control, to thinking about students with English as a second language”
- “Roles of social media in mathematics and statistics support both for students and staff”
- “The importance of networking with others interested in Mathematics Education. The simple on line methods of producing supports for students.”
- “MOOCs & online videos”
What might you now do differently as a result of attending this event?
- “I will flip one or two lectures later this year and see what happens. I will try and involve students in support.”
- “We will try out different approaches to publicising our Maths and Stats support services”
- “I hope to deliver future lectures using a range of methods e.g. videos and tablets; and encourage students to direct their own learning and actively discuss lecture material in Facebook groups”
- “Keep developing my heutagogy methodology now it has a name”
