Join us for an engaging session led by the editors of Imagine: Creative Ideas to Energise Teaching and Inspire Learning; an open, crowdsourced publication currently in development using Pressbooks. This initiative is supported by the Imaginative Curriculum Research and Scholarship Centre at the School of Education, University of Leeds, and the Leeds Libraries’ Open Educational Resources (OER) Manager.
We’ll introduce the project and invite educators and students from all educational sectors and around the world to contribute practical, creative teaching and learning ideas that have worked well in their own contexts. Our goal is to build a rich, adaptable resource that educators can use and tailor to meet the needs of diverse learners. All submitted ideas will undergo open peer review, and accepted contributions will be organised alphabetically for easy access. During the session, we’ll explain how to submit your ideas, what information to include, and how your contribution can make a meaningful impact.
We’ll also guide participants through a reflective activity to help identify potential contributions and offer the opportunity to discuss these ideas directly with the editors.
Chrissi Nerantzi, Delyth Edwards, J Simon Rofe, Kirstine McDermid, Vasiliki Kioupi and John Hammersley
