Developing an undergraduate GIS curriculum for the 21st century (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Horswell, M., Quinn, N., & West, H. (2018, July). Developing an undergraduate GIS curriculum for the 21st century. Paper presented at Esri Education Summit, San Diego, California, USA

The greatest challenge in teaching a technology related subject, is the rate at which technology changes and progresses. Designing curricula in such contexts, requires a shift out of a ‘training’ mind set, to be both anticipatory and market responsiv...

Ready & able graduates: GIS as a tool for dispositional development (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Horswell, M., & West, H. (2018, July). Ready & able graduates: GIS as a tool for dispositional development. Paper presented at Esri Education Summit, San Diego, California, USA

As university tutors in an age of easy access to information and instruction, our role shifts from information transmitter to something altogether more challenging. Fee paying students with high expectations demand more than knowledge and technical c... Read More about Ready & able graduates: GIS as a tool for dispositional development.

Story mapping & ArcGIS online: Building bridges between students & researchers (2018)
Presentation / Conference
West, H., Horswell, M., & Quinn, N. (2018, July). Story mapping & ArcGIS online: Building bridges between students & researchers. Paper presented at Esri Education Summit, San Diego, California, USA

Researchers at UWE Bristol (UK) needed ways of communicating drought and were struggling to find an in-road as drought seems ‘low risk’ in the UK. Using Story Maps to develop conversation pieces was recognised as way forward. Students were given the...

Improving the student learning experience through dialogic feed-forward assessment (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Hill, J., & West, H. (2018, June). Improving the student learning experience through dialogic feed-forward assessment. Paper presented at Unravelling Assessment and Feedback Literacy Symposium, University of Surrey

Assessment feedback gains consistently low satisfaction scores in national surveys of student satisfaction, with most concern surrounding its timeliness, quality and effectiveness. We present the results of a two year qualitative study, thematically... Read More about Improving the student learning experience through dialogic feed-forward assessment.

Building learning communities to enhance assessment (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Hill, J., & West, H. (2018, June). Building learning communities to enhance assessment. Paper presented at UWE Teaching & Learning Conference, Bristol, England

In this paper we will encourage you to reimagine assessment and feedback, supported by the latest research and evidence-informed practice, enabling you to deliver assessment that helps your students to learn, improves their performance, enhances thei...

Regionalising the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation on seasonal hydrological extremes in Great Britain (2018)
Presentation / Conference
West, H., Quinn, N., & Horswell, M. (2018, April). Regionalising the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation on seasonal hydrological extremes in Great Britain. Poster presented at European Geosciences Union General Assembly, Vienna, Austria

Although some studies have shown the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on rainfall in the United Kingdom (UK), these have focussed on rainfall extremes (rather than the flood- drought continuum) and have either been based on analysis...

Performance of Sentinel-2 NDVI for assessing the relationship between vegetation and soil moisture under extreme drought conditions (2018)
Presentation / Conference
West, H., Quinn, N., Horswell, M., & White, P. (2018, April). Performance of Sentinel-2 NDVI for assessing the relationship between vegetation and soil moisture under extreme drought conditions. Poster presented at European Geosciences Union General Assembly, Vienna, Austria

Initial indications are that the enhanced spatial and spectral resolution of Sentinel-2 would allow for better assess- ment of vegetation condition, and consequently improved application in conditions of moisture deficit/drought. Although NDVI and ot... Read More about Performance of Sentinel-2 NDVI for assessing the relationship between vegetation and soil moisture under extreme drought conditions.

Dialogic feed-forward assessment: Re-energising the undergraduate essay (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Hill, J., & West, H. (2017, August). Dialogic feed-forward assessment: Re-energising the undergraduate essay. Paper presented at Royal Geographical Society Annual International Conference, London, England

Assessment exercises a major influence on student learning and achievement (Boud 2007). Yet QAA subject reviews identify assessment practices as one of the weakest features of Higher Education (Rust et al. 2005). In terms of the student learning expe...
