The Nottingham Media Enhanced Teaching and Learning (METAL) project has been funded by grants from the University of Nottingham‘s Teaching and Learning Strategic Fund. We have also had support from the MSOR Network and the National HE STEM Programme, allowing us to provide lunch for the participants at the four METAL workshops.
Participants at these workshops came from a number of different UK universities, and included a good mix of academics and IT staff.
The First Nottingham METAL Workshop at the University of Nottingham took place on May 27th 2011. Twenty-eight people attended.
The Second Nottingham METAL workshop took place on Wednesday 22nd June 2011, 10:30-16:00. Twenty-one people attended.
The Third Nottingham METAL Workshop took place at the University of Nottingham on Wednesday 11th January 2012, 10:30-16:00, Keighton Auditorium, University Park Campus. Thirty-two people attended.
The final workshop in the current series was a METAL Dissemination Meeting, held at the University of Nottingham on Tuesday April 24 2012, 10:30-16:00. Twenty-one people attended.
