With most of the teaching and exams over for this year, many of you are planning ahead for next year and the LRC is keen to support the curriculum with this.
LRC Pic 'n' Mix Event 12th July 2018
The LRC is hosting this event as part of the Carousel of Learning event run by the Quality team during staff development week. We would love to meet you and help you as you plan
The event includes:
- An opportunity to order new books for the LRC from specialist FE and HE suppliers. This will run from 9am to 12 noon. Come and see the books before you order. Books chosen at the event will then be ordered once the new year's budget is released.
- A chance to book LRC tours for your new students in September.
- The option to speak to LRC staff about electronic resources/ eBooks and how to use them.
- The opportunity to be the first people to see the LRC's new H5P resources on their Moodle page and give your feedback and ideas for future resources.

Other ideas for integrating the LRC and different resources into your planning for next year
Why not....
- Add the links to relevant eBooks to your course pages on Moodle. You could create a resources block, for example, at the top of your course or integrate the links in to your modules.
- Add links to useful electronic resources relevant to your subject area on your course pages.
- Create some clips and playlists on Box of Broadcasts to support the curriculum modules you will be teaching ready to add to your course pages (using the links) as you start each module.
- Plan to show all your students the LRC pages as part of their induction. Why not give them time to view the LRC induction video and complete the quiz as part of introducing Moodle and the LRC? It won't take long. You can book a tour too.
- Show students how to register on Box of Broadcasts so they can view clips and playlists as well as record and watch programmes that interest them throughout their time at PRC.
- Consider how to promote reading and the LRC loyalty card to students who are interested in reading fiction as a leisure activity. Reading helps improve language skills too.
- Consider what stationery students will need and promote the stationery available for sale in the LRC.
- Do your students need to understand plagiarism and referencing? You can plan to use the online package and quizzes on the LRC 24/7 page with your students or LRC staff can come and deliver a short session.
- Do you want to do some research as an activity with your students? The LRC can provide a book box on your topic which you can take and use in the classroom.
- If you teach at UCP, do your students know how to use the Anglia Ruskin Digital Library? Book a demonstration with LRC staff.
This is the last post of the academic year. Blog posts will resume in early September once term starts.
The LRC is open over the summer if you need to come and see us or work here, but please check Moodle or twitter first if you are making a special trip.
We wish everyone a good holiday and hopefully restful time over the summer!
