[Metal] METAL case study

[Joel Feinstein]

Hi everyone,
I am currently putting together a case study on the METAL project at Nottingham as part of an application to HEA for Senior Fellow.
It would be helpful if I could give some additional concrete examples of the "spread of good practice" resulting from the METAL project.
Do you know of examples where you or others have introduced new methods into your teaching as a result of the METAL project? (Or possibly some other workshops I ran, or anything else where I can claim some direct/indirect influence! )
It would also be good if I had some idea of what it was that persuaded people that it would be a good idea to try something new.
I believe that motivation may include a combination of things through from a wish to assist the students' with engagement/interest and development of knowledge/understanding/skills and/or helping them to get better marks, and improvement in student satisfaction, through to staff obtaining better scores in student evaluations!
(If you have seen any improvements, anecdotal or numerical, that can be credited to METAL or similar, that would be interesting.)
I have left it a bit late (University-set deadline to get applications in is the end of next week, Friday April 24th.) So quick and easy comments rather than deep evaluations would be appreciated!
Best wishes,
   Joel
