We've created 12 Enginite Principles for PBL: Principle #1 - a pre-requisite to learning is that students should feel ownership over their learning process. What is your experience of doing this in practice? buff.ly/2MqJINb Erasmus+ Enginite

Princinple #2 in our series on how to deliver problem based learning: be flexible in your learning outcomes - buff.ly/2yJr7da - Tell me how realistic is this in practice? Erasmus+ #PBL Enginite

Principle #3 in our series on how to deliver problem-based learning: aim for exemplarity - explained in this video. buff.ly/2KvPVKJ Erasmus+ Enginite #pbl #enged #edchat #pedagogy

Principle 4 of 12 for #PBL: different learners choose different routes:don't be too prescriptive in your learning resources. The problem space is a like a building - just create a few doorways, not detailed floor plans buff.ly/2KEP32X Erasmus+ Enginite

Principle 6 for problem-based learning: let the learners decide what they do & don't know. Just because you say something doesn't mean you know what was heard. Applies to life and learning! buff.ly/2LNQxfO #PBL #pblchat #learning #pedagogy Erasmus+ Enginite

Be a facilitator not a teacher - #7 in our series on problem-based learning. Obvs facilitator means 'to make easy'. That's our job. We make solving problems easier for learners . Choosing the direction is their job. Erasmus+ Enginite buff.ly/2OEk5dY

Today the Think Up team are in sunny Swindon to run a pilot for a train-the-trainers programme on avoiding errors at interfaces, all part of our CITB funded The Get It Right Initiative training development. Photos to follow.

Day 1 of 2 complete for our pilot train the trainer session for the The Get It Right Initiative Avoiding Errors at Interfaces course. Tomorrow participants do a dress rehearsal. CITB

It's been a day of Moodle tweaking, building the learner management system for the The Get It Right Initiative training we are designing. We will use the platform to do a pre- and post-training evaluation of learner's knowledge and use it to share learning resources. Web page coming soon.

Now underway, the first ever Get It Right Initiative training session for supervisors and managers, delivered by @BAMNuttall staff trained through our GIRI train-the-trainer course. #Productivity #error #construction #training The Get It Right Initiative CITB

Update from today's R&D session on managing #design interfaces. This group went at the Lego exercise with elan. The Lego exercises are proving a very useful tool for exploring construction processes in the abstract. The Get It Right Initiative CITB team Think Up Nick Finck #Training #workshop

Some very fine bridges shown, but shame they don't mention the UK's longest single span, the Humber Bridge, which at 1410 metres was the world's longest single span from 1981-99 and is a magnificent piece of engineering.

Great question at #HEAStem : how can we give teaching staff the freedom to be creative in their teaching and to experiment? HEAcademy

We’re presenting at the #HEASTEM18 conference in Newcastle today with team Think Up

Recently I was in Montpellier to speak on a panel on advanced urbanism. I interviewed participants to ask what they learnt from the event, part of our Erasmus+ -funded role in KA-AU . buff.ly/2npE43R Useful Projects

Our friends at Beep Studio are running a really cool workshop for 15-18 year-olds - Skill Up: Style Wars. It's a design brief with a difference: you have to take on a particular architectural style in your response. Please help spread the word if you can buff.ly/2DYzSSn

Design Spectroscopy is our name for characterising design problems and recognising the successful strategies that designers adopt in different scenarios. We need input from 100s of engineers and designers - can you take our 5-minute survey? buff.ly/2FtG5TP

Antithetical training alert: how to deliver problem-based learning. Well that would be the case if we did it in a traditional way, but we are experimenting with co-designing problem-based learning training with our trainees. We'll share outputs here. buff.ly/2p84Ei8
