I’m a business lecturer and entrepreneur based in Winchester. I’m interested in teaching that helps students move from understanding an idea to using it.
My teaching covers business and enterprise, including creativity, innovation and starting a business. Alongside that, I run businesses, so I’m interested in the decisions, uncertainty and practical challenges that sit behind the theory.
The Business Lecturer is a place to share tools, activities and approaches that help make those connections in teaching. It is also a place to reflect on how we design learning, involve students and make room for different perspectives.
Three ideas behind the site.
01
Make it usable
Explain the purpose of an activity and give students a clear way to get started.
02
Invite participation
Create space for students to contribute, question and learn from one another.
03
Build in reflection
Discuss what happened, why it matters and how the learning might transfer to another situation.
Take an idea. Make it your own.
Use the teaching tools to structure an activity, the techniques to think about how you will run it, and the resources and articles as the collection develops.
Adapt the ideas to your learning outcomes, class size and students’ experience. They are starting points for your judgement as an educator.
