Open working improves teaching and student retention

23 October 2012

In this podcast Charlie Covington, Press Officer at Jisc, talks to Kate Borthwick, Academic Co-ordinator for e-Learning at the Centre of Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies at Southampton University.

She finds out about the FAVOR (Finding a Voice through Open Resources) project: a Jisc funded project to assist part time language tutors by providing support through the development of an online community, a way to share best practice through open educational resources and ultimately an opportunity to market their course and improve student retention.
