About Skills Community of Practice

The Skills Community of Practice is an informal forum to share approaches to teaching undergraduate skills with colleagues across institutes. Each month, there will be a presentation from a member about their approach to teaching a specific skill or skillset, followed by some whole group comments/discussion. Sometimes, this will be followed by smaller group discussion to facilitate networking and deeper conversations about undergraduate skills.

​

The range of skills of interest to this CoP is quite broad, as although some skills are unarguably vital to teach our students, others are not traditionally covered by a degree but are becoming increasingly important. The teaching of both of these groups of skills is worth discussing, in recognition of the needs of each generation of students.
