Applying the seven principles of good practice: archives in the 21st century university

Abstract

providing ad-hoc sessions for students. Based on an updated version of Chickering and Gamson's principles, SALT developed the Seven Characteristics of Good University Teaching programme. The use of archives in learning and teaching will be mapped across the seven principles, giving practical examples of teaching sessions and exercises demonstrating how pedagogical theory and working in partnership with learning and teaching facilitators, can enable archive services to better demonstrate impact, gain new advocates and target wider audiences across many disciplines. It concludes by examining how this will develop in the future (raising issues of digital learning versus learning through encountering), and how feedback is collected and implemented (one of the seven principles).
