“The Diploma attracts students from a range of
disciplines across Imperial and creates a unique
opportunity for staff to discuss educational
issues across subject areas from an increasingly
theoretically informed, critical perspective.”

in a professional and disciplinary context equips
individuals to participate in and lead educational
debate and decision-making within Imperial and
beyond. The areas explored through participants’
Library Projects include:

• Multiple choice questions are a good way to
help students learn: TRUE or FALSE?

• Liminality, akin to a labyrinth rather than a
portal. Improving teaching and learning in
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry through
Threshold Concepts Theory

• An individual endeavour? How departments
can help students transition to HE

• Can undergraduate education hope to
transform students into physicists?

• Trippin’ out – why fieldtrips are a fundamental
necessity for successful undergraduate
Geology education

• Modernising Medical Careers: is it time
to re-introduce the traditional medical
apprenticeship into postgraduate medical
training?

• Mind the gap: Could defining threshold
capabilities help make key tacit knowledge
explicit and aid transition from medical school
to clinical practice?
