Visual Learning Lab

School-wide Initiatives

The VLL has worked intensively with the School of Pharmacy and the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science (SVMS) over the past three years.  This work has involved the funding, installation and embedding of a wide range of technologies into teaching practice to effect a wide-scale change in the delivery and reception of teaching/learning on specific modules and programmes.

Using the visualisers and plasma screens, we were able to stop the class at will and demonstrate any concept with which the students were struggling.  Brilliant!
