Telling tales: investigating students' learning experiences

A case study demonstrating an initiative to enable first-year students to share learning experiences in a safe environment at the University of Glamorgan.

During a teaching session on learning students were introduced to the idea of memory/learning boxes. This was through photographs of young children’s memory boxes and discussion on what constituted a learning experience. Students were encouraged to think about their own learning and how these learning experiences reflected on their own attitudes to education.
