Project Outputs > Online Resource - STEM Learning & Teaching Reconfigured

A core focus of this project was to provide continuous professional development for STEM staff working with students with VI. This has been achieved through the development of a significant online resource - STEM Learning & Teaching Reconfigured - that covers a broad spectrum of STEM-related teaching and learning curricula including lab work. The resource is designed to be a 'one-stop-shop' for those staff involved in admissions, student support, teaching, assessment and placements.
