4. Talis Resource Lists: an academic perspective

Reading lists have long been an integral part of learning and teaching at the University. However the traditional reading list can appear detached from the rest of the module, giving the student few clues as to how the resources relate to the teaching or assessment of the module. Whilst almost every other aspect of teaching and learning has been re-examined and re-interpreted through various pedagogic lenses, reading list practice seems to have quietly gone on in more or less the same form as it always has. The introduction of Talis Aspire Resource Lists presents an opportunity to review our practice from an academic and student perspective. What does a good resource list look like?

Key words:  TEL resource lists, Talis.
