In this session QStep centre staff will showcase and discuss teaching and learning strategies and techniques that they are developing in their centres, or from the earlier ESRC Curriculum Innovation / Researcher Development Initiative Programmes. These include embedding quantitative content in the wider curriculum, using open source materials, placements and staff upskilling. Participants are also encouraged to talk about their own experiences and ideas.
