Congratulations to all the finalists and prize winners in this year’s JORUM learning resource competition, the results of which were announced at this year’s ALT-C Dinner last week.

The standard of entries was excellent, with the winner – LearnHigher’s Making Group-work Work – being an outstanding example of the innovative, engaging and effective resource the judges were seeking.  This extensive resource features a series of video ‘episodes’ following a group of five students as they work on a group project and covering many of the issues such activities involve such as personality clashes, reluctance to seek help from their tutor and what to do about the mysterious sixth group member who never turned up…  Each episode is supplemented with notes and activities that users can interact with as they choose, and the whole resource is appropriate, reusable and a great deal of fun.

Runner up, Introducing English as a Lingua Franca from the York St John University, and third place Delivering Student Workshops also from LearnHigher, are also well worth checking out. Congratulations to all!
