SSPEL Newsletter: Research and Scholarly Activities

Ian Gilhespy, Dave Harris and Adam Read have been working on a funded C-SAP project to produce blended learning materials to be deposited in JORUM (the open repository run by JISC -- alphabet soup anyone?). We designed two large modules, one on the sociology of leisure and one on introductory research methods. Both use presentations (PowerPoint and Prezi) and RLOs (Producer and Xerte). Both also have extensive face-to-face teaching focusing on discussing the issues and practising the techniques (in the case of research methods). You can find them online on JORUM:
