The Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) is committed to improving the Teaching and Learning experience at Warwick, and we want to know what undergraduates think. Their feedback will let us know how Warwick is doing, how we can improve and how we can make the Warwick learning experience truly distinctive.

By spending 5-10 minutes completing the IATL Student Engagement Questionnaire students will help us to discover what we're doing right and wrong at the moment and will provide a benchmark to measure how things improve over the next two years. The survey will be open for three weeks from 14 February to 6 March, and one respondent each week will be randomly selected to win £100 in Amazon vouchers.

This mixed-media installation was produced from original archival and interview data in order to map the spatial and historical generation and regeneration of the University of Warwick from the 1960s to the present day. 

Originally exhibited during June 2010 in the Mead Gallery at The University of Warwick, part of the exhibition is now available to view in the foyer of Millburn House at Warwick until the end of April 2011.

More information about the exhibition is available in a recent Knowledge Centre article and on the exhibition's web pages (where some of the material from the original exhibition is also available).

An additional round of Student as Producer Fund grants has been announced, with both research and performance grants available.  Taught postgraduate students are now eligible to apply for a research grant. 

The deadline for applications is Friday 18 March.

This article, using the Reinvention Centre at Westwood (one of the spaces managed by IATL) as a case study, has recently been published in the journal 'Social and Cultural Geography'.  The author is Cath Lambert from Sociology at Warwick, who was the Academic Co-ordinator for the Reinvention Centre for Undergraduate Research before it merged with the CAPITAL Centre to form IATL.

If you are on the Warwick campus, you can access the full text of the article from the Social and Cultural Georgraphy website.

This Window on Warwick session will cover the objectives of IATL, the opportunities it offers for staff and students across the University and how it works to capture and share new teaching and learning initiatives.

Details of the funded projects are now available from the 'Projects' page.  Further information about the projects will be added soon.

Workshop led by Dr Paul Sutton, Artistic Director, C&T.

If you are interested in the spectrum of creative pedagogies offered by open-space learning, this workshop will explore common beliefs and values (and those things which differentiate us) to shape a strategy for the future of  OSL in the University and beyond?
