Show, Tell and Talk workshops
The Show, Tell and Talk series is a collection of workshops organised and hosted by the Bristol Institute for Teaching and Learning (BILT). Each of the workshops focuses on a teaching and learning theme directly linked to the University’s priorities and will help you develop in areas of strategic importance. Our series this year includes both Curriculum Design and/or Sharing Innovations workshops.
- Curriculum design workshops (90 minutes) – Drawn in part from our popular PGCAP programme, the Curriculum Design workshops provide an exciting opportunity to hear about university priorities related to the theme, offer an overview of the theory related to the topic, and give space to reflect and develop your learning and teaching practices whilst also providing helpful tips and advice for implementation best practice in your work.
- Sharing innovations workshops (90 minutes) – These workshops provide an fantastic opportunity to hear about a range of staff led projects take place across the University related to the theme. There will be an opportunity to share ideas and ask questions as well as engage in informal discussions with colleagues.
All staff are welcome to attend any and all events in the Show, Tell and Talk series. Find out more about specific events in the 2024/25 series below.

Active and inclusive learning (2 workshops) - 21 May 2025
“Active learning engages students in the process of learning through activities and/or discussion in class, as opposed to passively listening to an expert. It emphasizes higher-order thinking and often involves group work” (Freeman et al., 2014). Research also demonstrates that active learning can allow students to take agency in their own learning (Harris et al, 2020); can involve working in diverse groups on community and global issues (Pasquerella 2022) and can narrow achievement gaps benefiting all students (Inside Higher Ed, 2022).
