Welcome to the Wiki which is devoted to research and good practice in learning, teaching and assessment especially within the context of the Heads of the Valleys, an area of economic deprivation. The Learning Innovation Expert Group has contributed to the research. Now we would like further contributions so if you have some ideas/research/good practice please email Professor Norah Jones njones2@glam.ac.uk or Haydn Blackey hblackey@glam.ac.uk.

Learning Innovation Expert Panel Wiki

The completed Learning Innovation Expert Panel final report was received positively by WAG and the Heads of the Valley Learning Portfolio's Group (LPG).

LPG has asked the group to move from the final report to detailed approaches to implementation. Norah will again be leading this stage of the work and will outline what she hopes we are able to contribute in the Next Steps page of the wiki.
