Making Every History Lecture Engaging | Teachinghistory.org
The lecture has fallen on difficult times . . . it relies too heavily on auditory input and makes students passive as opposed to active learners. —Silver, Strong, and Perini.

The possibilities are discussed and some problems and questi

1 Why do we read prose fiction? Prose fiction, whether in the form of the novel or the short story, is unarguably the most popular and widely consumed literary genre. One only has to see the proliferation of bookstalls at railway stations and airports, for example, and the predominance of novels over other forms of writing made available in such locations to realise the appeal of fiction. Take a few moments to think about Why we read fiction? What do we hope to gain from reading stories about imag

This section of OpenLearn Scotland introduces learners to areas of professional development where The Open University has developed curricula specifically to meet the needs of students and employers in Scotland.
6.3.1 Refinements and difficulties In Section 6.2, we said that inter-axis repulsions vary in the order: non-bonded pair-non-bonded pair > non-bonded pair-bond pair > bond pair-bond pair There is evidence for this in the inter-bond angles in molecules. For example, in water and
