The Pool
‘The Pool’ is a themed collection of resources for use by English or Creative Writing lecturers in Higher Education, especially those following accredited courses for lecturers (e.g. PGCAP courses etc) — or for use by more experienced colleagues seeking to enhance or refresh their teaching practice.
The collection comprises a variety of types of materials such as video footage, activities and texts. Used together or individually, these can be used to add a subject-dimension to accredited courses or be incorporated in learning and teaching events within departments.
The resources within the Pool are made available in three ways:
- either through our Moodle VLE – (VIRTUE) directly.
- or you can download the entire Moodle course from the ASSAP (The Pool) project page and upload it to your institutional VLE
- or you can access the resources from the Humbox Open Educational Resource (OER) repository for the Humanities.
