The team comprise a group of expert educators who work collaboratively with Schools to provide advice and support in the effective use of technologies in teaching, learning and assessment.

Educational Enhancement Sussex

Specialism-based learning (SBL) is an approach to curriculum design based on students being given a specialism or focus, which is distinct from the specialisms of their student peers, onto which they are expected to apply the theories being delivered through the teaching. It is an approach that we have seen adopted within linguistics, geography and psychology, but it is relevant to teaching across the humanities, social sciences, sciences and the arts despite variations in teaching and assessment practices.
It is a method that has been seen to immerse students into the topics they are studying by building on the students' intrinsic motivations. It encourages students to adopt a discerning stance towards knowledge and creates an environment where communication between peers becomes natural and a rewarding activity for students. Students start to feel like experts in an area of the discipline and share their knowledge with peers.
In this workshop you will be introduced to SBL and how to apply it to your teaching, using the appropriate technologies.
