This site is all about embedding public dissemination into course unit design.\u00a0 It aims to help practitioners to embed the public dissemination of student knowledge and understanding into course unit design.\u00a0 Our experience shows that students develop employability skills and contribute to social responsibility by taking part in activities geared towards public dissemination.<\/p>\n
All around the University of Manchester, people are putting on courses that recognise this, and ask students to respond creatively to tasks geared towards engaging with different kinds of public.\u00a0 This website is designed as a resource to share this experience, and explore different aspects of the challenge of asking students to put their work in the public domain.<\/p>\n
