The OxTALENT awards recognise members of Oxford University who have made innovative use of digital technology in teaching or research communication. IFSTAL entered into the ‘Innovative Teaching with Technology’ category which looked at how entrants had used technology other than Weblearn (the University’s virtual learning environment) to address a particular educational challenge. Judges were a peer reviewing panel, and they looked for qualitative/quantitative evidence of impact and possible applicability of the innovation to other disciplines. We went on to win an ‘honourable mention‘ with the judges ‘impressed at what we had achieved in our first year’.
