The Ashmolean's schools learning officers devised and delivered innovative, inspiring, creative, multi-sensory object based online learning sessions and programmes for schools. The project had high value and impact on learning about objects in the Ashmolean. The online workshops had added-value beyond the collegiate University as the department engaged with Brookes and the broader GLAM community. Find out more about learning at the Ashmolean.

The ‘Lab Med app’: a model for producing novel student-centric learning resources
The Oxford Laboratory Medicine course is an intensive 8-week course for clinical medical students, covering high volume basic science and clinical information across five pathology specialties. The team recognised a need to support students in the active assessment of their own learning, and created the ‘Lab Med app’, a learning platform with accessible content that learners can use to test their own diagnostic skills. Student uptake has been near universal, with feedback very positive. Learn more about Oxford's Laboratory Medicine course.
