News and Events

IATL invites you to explore this new teaching and learning resource, which contains ideas to help you play and be playful - at work, at home, in meetings, in the classroom, when planning events. Arising from work on The Dark Would, the resource is inclusive: it's intended for all members of the university community.

Warwick members of the BLASTER (Best Liberal Arts and Science Teaching Expanded and Reinforced) project, funded through Erasmus +, will be at Leuphana University, Germany, in October, where staff and student experts from European partner institutions will showcase best practice in undergraduate research, and form small research teams to continue the exploration of innovations in this area.

Dr Jonathan Heron, IATL Principal Teaching Fellow, has just returned from his trip, where he worked with drama students on Weird Sisters, his own adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth, over the course of three weeks. Jonathan also visited our partner university Monash, in Melbourne Australia, as part of his ongoing collaborative project with their Chemistry and Theatre departments.
