Human Teaching Book Event
This event took place on 24 November 2021 and it was a great opportunity to meet the WIHEA Peer Advance Contacts and other new colleagues, and to discover innovative areas of teaching practice.
WIHEA and ADC hosted an online Human Teaching Book - akin to a Human Library but with a teaching focus.
'Human books' shared their experiences of introducing various ideas into their teaching practice. They met 'readers' in virtual rooms and had the chance to explain a little more about what they do. This was a great opportunity to learn something new and meet others with similar interests to build communities of practice across the institution.
What is the Human Teaching Book event ?
Like a Human Library, this event aimed to establish a positive framework and safe space for dialogue between readers and a Human teaching Book. The concept is based on personal conversation rather than a presentation or lecture. It is not just a story, it’s an engagement and interaction, a Q&A from a lived perspective sharing experiences of embedding new ideas into teaching practice.
Why the Human Teaching Book event?
The Human Teaching Book event represented a unique opportunity to engage in open conversation with Human Teaching Books and learn about their experience of changing their teaching practice.
