What Counts as Effective Pedagogy in Creative Arts Higher Education?

Have you time for a little professional reading?

We put together a short list of some recent books suitable for teachers in the higher education sector.  Do take a look!  HERE.

(These are live links so staff at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland can easily see if books are currently on the library shelves, or if they're already on loan.)

Just another helpful posting from your colleagues at the Whittaker Library!

Compile or Share Reading Lists with Classmates or Staff

It's no secret!

Here's a quick tip for staff and students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland:-


Looking at already compiled lists


If you log into your library account via the Whittaker Library catalogue, you can gather together books, music and recordings into a list.  Add a description or keywords if you like.


Even if you're NOT logged in, you can see lists you made earlier - and any lists that anyone else has chosen to share!

It's easy to see the value of this function.

  • Teachers - compile a reading list for your students, and share it with them.  (We've done this for one of our teachers ... take a look by clicking on My Lists, and then Everybody's Lists)
  • Students - keep a note of things you intend to read/have read
  • Share a list of music with your class or ensemble
  • Share a list of plays with other acting students

Creatives! Your Library Supports Creativity

Readers will have noticed recent blogposts about creativity, and how the library can support your leaps of imagination and inspiration.

'Whittaker' would like to offer a reading list, compiled from the Whittaker Library's catalogue.  Anyone can see the list.  Registered readers can similarly make their own lists, choosing whether or not to share them with the wider community.



Here it is: Creativity in the Whittaker Library.

And, just to bring you up to speed, here are our earlier postings on creativity:-
