Two exercises on seminar planning designed for use by English lecturers seeking to develop their skills. Both activities can be used either by individual lecturers or in groups. They involve viewing a video of an English Literature seminar. The activities have been designed to create a suggestive space in which to think about the languages of seminars, and the forms of social, intellectual, and personal exchange that take place within them. There is also an overview of the activities.

There are three activities in this resource, and they have been created around actual lectures delivered by staff at Royal Holloway, University of London, King’s College London and the University of Nottingham. Each lecture demonstrates different approaches to lecturing. The peer review activities are designed to prompt individuals or groups to begin thinking critically about what makes a good lecture/lecturer and what tools and tasks can help make a particular lecture more or less successful.

This checklist was devised by the project team to help users consider resource uploading and reviewing effectively: the layout of the resource, how best to describe it, and the importance of metadata.
