A very visual take on assessment in the latest case study from Steve Cook and Duncan Watson: crossnumbers are like crosswords but the cells take digits (or decimal points/ minus signs) rather than letters. economicsnetwork.ac.uk/showcase/coo... #EduSky

The Handbook for Economics Lecturers has a new chapter! Its theme is transitions- from school to university, degree to workplace, undergraduate to postgraduate and so on. As always with the Handbook, it combines high-level reflections and practical tips. economicsnetwork.ac.uk/handbook/tra...

Our latest case study is unusually colourful! Swati Virmani and her students at De Montfort University do creative storytelling around economics. AI helps them make and refine storyboards. In the physical world, the storytelling uses Lego. economicsnetwork.ac.uk/showcase/vir...
