The team at Keele contributed over 100 separate OER, principally PowerPoint slide sets, reading lists and activity sheets across a number of climate change and sustainability-related themes. This paper explores some of the challenges that arose in the ‘repurposing’ of existing teaching materials for open access, including the issues of end-user usability and obtaining copyright clearance for image intensive resources. The paper concludes with advice for those interested in making existing or new resources suitable for open access.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"20 1","pages":"51 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90775468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, students are reluctant to engage with journals, and citation analyses suggest that their use is declining in favour of more accessible sources such as the internet. This project examined barriers to student engagement with journal literature and the extent to which these can be overcome by additional training. A questionnaire survey revealed various barriers including the complex content, the difficulty of finding relevant articles, the associated time commitment, and access problems. To address these barriers, two interventions were implemented: a detailed guide on how to find relevant literature; and tutorial sessions at which set reading was discussed. Citation analysis of pre- and post-intervention coursework indicated a significant increase in the use of journal articles. A focus group confirmed the value of the interventions and provided feedback that has informed a series of recommendations.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"20 1","pages":"27 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72866155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whilst the use of learning journals is not unique, their value as a teaching tool and form of assessment at first year undergraduate level has proven to be surprisingly successful in terms of student engagement and promotion of life-long learning principles. The analysis utilised student writings and showed how they were motivated towards active participation in their own learning. The students' entries in a learning journal, in particular, demonstrated evidence of changes in their thinking and learning behaviour.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"7 1","pages":"21 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86564747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sample interviews with students provide a window into the role that prior knowledge plays on the development of ideas within the general adult public, and particularly the ways in which instruction can interact with this prior knowledge. We find evidence for a variety of ways in which students mix scientific and non-scientific ideas within geoscience. This work is in alignment with prior work on student conceptual understanding, and further supports the idea that lecturers must pay careful attention to prior knowledge when presenting new theories, models or paradigms. We conclude with suggestions for instructional approaches which are useful for uncovering students' prior knowledge.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"18 1","pages":"50 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86313588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students returning from an extended period of living and working in a developing country are seen to contribute by acting as a role model of what can be attained and providing valuable insights into the overseas experience. The students return with more knowledge of a particular place, culture or research project than their tutors. Other benefits include providing identity to the degree programme, enabling social interaction between academic cohorts, and as a recruitment tool. This article explores the experiences of student mentors and mentees, identifies the benefits and issues, and makes recommendations on how these can be addressed in a more formal mentoring scheme.","PeriodicalId":85255,"journal":{"name":"People & the planet","volume":"33 1","pages":"30 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90401894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
