Welcome to Planet 24, a bumper edition which highlights the breadth of teaching and learning developments that are going on within the GEES disciplines. The articles within this general edition cover a wide range of themes including:
The Student Experience
New Technologies
Skills Development
Throughout this edition you will see photos from the 2009/10 student photo competition.
Also featured in this edition are some of the partner reports from the successful GEES Subject Centre JISC/HEA Open Educational Resources (OER) programme. The Subject Centre's project was entitled “C-change in GEES: Open licensing of climate change and sustainability resources in the Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences”. The report also gives information about two new OER projects that the Subject Centre successfully bid for.
The GEES Subject Centre transition team are currently editing Planet 25 and Planet 26. The transition team at Plymouth have agreed to manage Planet publications until June 2012. Planet 27 will be published in June 2012, the deadline for articles on 31st January 2012. We anticipate that Planet 28 will be published through the new HEA process so please do continue to write articles. More details in the New Year.
