This collection of interactive learning materials covers a range of issues to consider when conducting life history interviews for historical research.

This ppt outlines the programme and activities for a workshop funded under the HEA/OER seminar series. It was held on 23rd May, 2012, at the University of Southampton, and featured dissemination of research and teaching on the OpenLIVES project (JISC).

This collection brings together a selection of presentations on the work of the JISC-funded OpenLIVES project. These presentations were given at conferences and dissemination events by the project team.

I gave this presentation at 'OERs and Languages' an HEA/OER seminar held at UCLAN, on 1st June, 2012. I talked about how LLAS community OER projects have led to an understanding of how engaging with open practice can lead to professional development in explicit ways (through impact of work on an external audience) and more subtle ways (through reflection, collaboration and review).

This is an interactive learning object which gives information and practice on asking different types of questions when conducting life history interviews.

These interviews were recorded on 12th May, 2012, at an event marking the 75th anniversary of the arrival in Southampton of child refugees from Bilbao. Interviews were conducted by Pedro Garcia-Guirao during the event. The first interview, with Elena, is in English. The subsequent interviews, with Lloyd and Johnny, are in Spanish. All three students talk about the event and the experience of studying Spanish history and of meeting, in person, individuals who played a role in that history.
