Materials

We initiate, gather and disseminate examples of good practice in learning, teaching and assessment which have been developed and successfully implemented by discipline specialists in institutions across the UK. We offer a unique focal point and will help you stay in touch with what matters in learning and teaching in materials.

We aim to:

  • organise wide-ranging continual professional development activities for learning and teaching in materials
  • disseminate good practice and innovation in learning and teaching of materials
  • provide information and resources relating to pedagogic research as it relates to materials, and directly engage with pedagogical research activities
  • maintain and develop contacts with professional bodies and other relevant national organisations to influence the development of policy and practice in materials education.

Support at subject level is at the heart of our work and we will continue to deliver and develop the services which are most valued by those working in materials education.
