On Monday 28 February we were joined by Dr John Murray from the School of Natural Sciences at NUI Galway. John is the recipient of the 2021 Jennifer Burke award for innovation in teaching and learning. Their submission was Film-making as a Learning Tool and it relates to the History of Life project.
This webinar examines the History of Life project. This novel teaching initiative encourages science-students to become film-makers and creatively tell the epic story of the evolution of Life on Earth for large and diverse general audiences.
