SUMMARY:Show Tell and Talk: Co-created curricula in practice: Ideas\, challenges and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:This panel brings together four short papers (7-8 minutes) that critically reflect on different aspects of co-creation. Together\, they ask a series of questions and raise challenges for the conception of co-creation and its practice. They also\, however\, consider how to constructively address these challenges\, and point to opportunities. Following short presentations\, there will be a discussion and Q&A where these are further explored. \n\nThe first paper (Culley and Martineau)\, titled ‘A community-oriented relational approach to teaching in HE’\, addresses the current challenges faced by Universities to adequately support the growing mental health and wellbeing (MHWB) needs of their students in relation to the question of co-creation. supporting students’ positive MHWB\, and that a more community-based\, relational approach which focuses on fostering students’ sense of belonging and prioritizes engagement and active learning is better able to empower students and thus to support their positive mental health and wellbeing.\nThe second paper (Sealy)\, titled ‘Co-creation and epistemological pluralism or closure’\, asks questions of the extent to which co-creation on a unit can lead to a more diverse or narrower set of views and positions being engaged\, and the epistemological terms of this engagement\, and the effects this can have on students’ appreciation of a topic and the development of their own positions. It does so through reflection of teaching a 3rd year UG unit on religion and politics.\nThe third paper (Lin)\, titled ‘Co-creating Learning from a Decolonial Perspective: Blurring Informal and Formal Learning to Enhance student-teacher Relationships and Empower Students’\, assesses the extent to which the persisting binary between formal and informal learning has obscured the student-teacher relationships against the backdrop of internationalised and decolonising education that is competition-driven and market-targeting\, and colonial. From a decolonial perspective\, the paper explores culturally responsive ‘coffee morning’ and ‘sharing home-cooked food in the classroom’ as two binary-blurring case studies facilitating students and teachers to collaborate\, decolonise\, and empower students.\nThe final paper (Dodsworth)\, titled ‘Student Attitudes to Co-Creation’ explores the evidence for student support for co-creation\, exploring both to what extent students seek to participate in co-creation and with what forms. Contextualising co-creation within a broader crisis of student engagement\, this paper will argue that a more nuanced and reflexive approach is needed to ensure that students are able to fully participate\, and so equally benefit\, from the possibilities of co-creation.\n\nAn audience Q&A and discussion between the panelists then explores the challenges and considerations in relation to co-creation with a particular view to how these might be addressed and the opportunities that might be opened up. \nStaff register here Students register here \n\nFacilitator – Thomas Sealy – Lecturer in Ethnicity and Race\, School of Sociology\, Politics and International Studies\nContributors:\n\nTia Culley\nWendy Martineau\nJoe Lin\nAshley Dodsworth\n\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:Show Tell and Talk: Active Learning
DESCRIPTION:Staff register here Students register here \n  \nEmbedding effective and inclusive active learning into teaching and curriculum design\, which engages\, motivates and supports all students in their learning is an important University of Bristol strategic aim. Active learning is fundamentally about student engagement and participation. It involves students going beyond passive listening in lectures or ‘sitting back and being fed information’ to ‘learning by doing’ and being agents of their own learning\, for example through discussion\, problem solving\, role-play\, and creating something new (Gibbs\, 1988; Kolb\, 2015). \nThis sharing innovations workshop will provide an opportunity to hear from a range of colleagues about how the theme is being embedded at UoB\, why it is important and what active learning projects\, supported by BILT\, are being undertaken at the University. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion with colleagues. \nThis 90 minute in-person workshop will take place in Room 2.26\, 35 Berkeley Square \nSchedule (subject to change): \n\n1.15 pm Registration and light refreshments\n\n\n1.30 pm – Presentations from each of the Education Development Projects working in this area\n\n\n15-20 minutes for a Q&A session with all presenters.\n\n\nAny remaining time is allocated for informal networking/questions over refreshments.\nFinish at 3 pm\n\nFacilitators: \n\nRos O’Leary – Head of BILT\nLouise Howson – BILT Team\n\nConfirmed Contributors: \n\nAshley Dodsworth\nKiah Tasman\nAndy Wakefield\nRose Murray\nBethan Hawley\nMore to be added\n\nCatering arrangements:\nTea\, coffee and biscuits will be provided (from 1.15 pm).

SUMMARY:Show Tell and Talk: 'Generative AI'
DESCRIPTION:Staff register here Students register here \nGenerative AI is reshaping how knowledge is created\, shared\, and applied — and with it\, how we understand originality\, authorship\, and critical thinking. It is not just a new tool: it challenges how we teach\, learn\, and define expertise within disciplines. To prepare students for their futures\, we need to design learning experiences that build on strong foundations in critical thinking\, ethical reasoning and discipline-specific knowledge\, enabling students to engage meaningfully and independently with AI technologies. \nThis sharing innovations workshop will provide an opportunity to hear from a range of colleagues about how the theme is being embedded at UoB\, why it is important and what Generative AI projects\, supported by BILT\, are being undertaken at the University. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion with colleagues. \nThis 90 minute in-person workshop will take place in Room 2.26\, 35 Berkeley Square \nCatering arrangements:\nTea\, coffee and biscuits will be provided (from 1.15 pm). Drinking water is also available. \nTarget Audience:\nTeaching and teaching support staff. \n  \nFacilitators \nSarah Davies \nAisling Tierney \n  \nConfirmed presenters (more to be added): \nMarios Kremantzis\nLaura Contu\nIsabel Murillo Cabeza\n\nAbstracts\nLaura Contu: Enhancing Research Literacy Through Critical Engagement with Generative AI in Psychological Research Methods Units\nWhile generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools offer promising possibilities for enhancing learning in Higher Education (HE)\, there are fears that over-reliance on GenAI may reduce opportunities for students to practice and develop critical thinking skills\, logical reasoning and academic integrity. As employers’ demand for AI skills rise\, there is a clear mission for universities to develop effective methods of teaching strategic and ethical use of GenAI in ways that promote the academic development of students. Through weekly interaction with GenAI for active revision and two assessed reflective tasks\, this project aims to create and reflect on strategies and activities that aim to help students develop their research literacy\, critical GenAI literacy and ethical practice. The research will involve 3 focus group sets distributed over the 2025-26 academic year\, that aim to explore students’ views shift on GenAI\, GenAI skill development activities and GenAI output evaluation summative assessment. The data will be analysed using a reflexive thematic analysis process underpinned by a realist perspective (practical views\, likes\, dislikes\, changes) and separately underpinned by a social constructionist perspective (how the psychological objects of GenAI\, activities and assessments are conceptualised). The findings will inform the development of GenAI pedagogical practice in HE.\n\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:Engaging Students - an introduction to improvisation skills for active learning and inclusive teaching (led by Bristol Improv Theatre)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nTue 11th February 2026\, 1.30 pm – 3 pm \nVictoria Rooms G27 Recital room  \nJoin experienced performer/facilitators from Bristol Improv Theatre for an interactive Plenary workshop. We’ll introduce core concepts from improvisation through interactive activities designed to build connection and rapport in an active learning environment. This includes the improvisation concept of ‘happy fail’ and ‘leap and discover’ as tools for building bravery and resilience for teachers and learners. \n➔ Resilience: In improvisation\, we practice games where we celebrate or cheer when participants ‘get things wrong’. This can build resilience in learners because we embrace mistakes and see failure as an opportunity to grow. \n➔ Creative Facilitation: Participants are more likely to engage with learning when they feel relaxed and confident with their peers. Creative icebreaker exercises & framing can accelerate connection and trust in the learning environment. \n➔ Bravery: in improvisation we practice the tool of ‘leap & discover’ or ‘say or do the first thing’. This cultivates bravery because participants are encouraged to risk a ‘wrong’ answer. \n➔ Authenticity: Authenticity accelerates connection and reliability. We use techniques in improvisation to practice being ourselves in front of audiences. \nThis is not a performance or performing workshop. Every activity will be an invitation and offered to do in pairs or small groups\, including discussion and reflection. \nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading...
