Humanities Good Practice at NCL: Daily updates from the Learning Resource Centre

One of the NCL initiatives from the lockdown period which has been hugely beneficial to staff cross college has been the daily updates provided by both Laura Dougan and Dale Lonsdale, in the Learning Resource Centre.

Without fail, they provide us all with some amazing links to articles, covering a surfeit of interesting and helpful news stories.

They really are diverse and I am sure that all members of the Humanities teaching teams have used a number of the stories in their teaching, such is the currency of the information.

Just looking at today's links (20.1.23) shows the breadth of helpful content that could be used in our teaching, especially as the Communication and English curriculum areas are so wide ranging.

The links from today can be seen below.

Thank you so much Dale and Laura for providing us with such interesting news stories.
