Rossiter\n\nIt i s well known that students learn more when they are active and thus a core challenge for teaching staff is to encourage effective student activity\, both during teaching sessions and also student private study. However\, a n obvious obstacle is that often\, creating effective resources and activi ties to encourage such engagement can be excessively time consuming for st aff\, or\, simply not easily accessible to students. This talk will demons trate a number of tools that Anthony has used in his own teaching practice \, it must be said with varying success\; these aspects will also be discu ssed honestly. Anthony’s teaching focusses largely around control engine ering topics and thus many of the resources are focussed around that\, alb eit the underlying pedagogical message and approach are transferable to ma ny engineering topics. The talk will also include a significant element on assessment: how can we do this efficiently and thus cope with delivering rapid feedback to large cohorts and minimising inefficient or time consumi ng marking practices? Also\, how do we modernise assessment so it is fit f or the 21st century?\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr J.
