Innovative Visual Pedagogies for Academic Skills in Higher Education

Designed to promote the use of visual pedagogical techniques within academic skills tuition, including through the provision of visual feedback on student written work, this book provides advice and resources for all educators seeking to make fuller use of visual methods within their teaching practice. This key title explores methods to provide visual feedback on written work enabling students to engage differently with their own scholarly outputs and derive greater meaning from conventional verbal feedback. It also encourages student use of visualisation techniques to support their autonomy in assessing their own work and advancing their own academic development. Grounded in key scholarship, it presents a matrix of contextual, structural and processual considerations to help adopt visual approaches and provides sample teaching materials and a range of examples as inspiration. Ideal reading for all those teaching in higher education looking to improve inclusivity by promoting visual pedagogies and feedback processes, this title aims to bolster academic skills tuition for all students. It’s designed to broaden the repertoire of teaching methods available and to cater more effectively for historically and currently marginalised students, by utilising methods that are better suited to their thinking styles.
