Innovative Modules

 

This section showcases innovative modules/courses for undergraduates and postgraduates in different HE History settings.

Posts include environmental history, global history, regionalism and minority nationalism in modern Europe, and ways to decolonise the curriculum. Posts give details of the student year group, an outline of the module structure, modes of assessment and some key readings.

We welcome contributions to this section that reflect on academic content as well as activities which facilitate student inclusion, engagement and progression; discuss the ways in which the module enhances students’ conceptual understanding of the discipline; or critically appraise how the module enhances skills, graduate attributes and cultural capabilities.

We hope to assemble a series of accounts of innovative modules as a resource for teachers to refresh their own modules or take inspiration from these case studies to devise their own.

If you would like to contribute a module to this section, please get in touch using the contact form.
