The Educational Development Discussion Group (EDDG) at Stevenson College Edinburgh was set up by the College's Teacher Fellow.
Since then EDDG have met periodically to discuss issues associated with the theory and practice of teaching and learning in further education.
The purpose of the EDDG blog is to record and extend the lively discussions of the group.
Please use the blog to share your comments about teaching and learning.
Below you'll find links to sites which have been developed by various lecturers. They will give a flavour of what's happening at the moment.
Some of the sites are open-access and some are password-protected. We've listed the open-access ones first. If you want to get access to the password-protected ones, just get in touch with the contact person and they'll give you guest access.
