Resources
Eventually we hope to provide a database of resources that can be shared amongst partners. This might include details of:
- case studies of what is going on in PE in different institutions;
- venues, how they can be booked and what if any charges there are;
- who has mundane things like poster boards and tables that they might be willing to lend or rent out;
- specialised interactive equipment and what they can be used to demonstrate or where to find the expertise to build such items; and of course
- useful online resources.
Please use the comment box below to let me know of anything else you would like to find in such a database. You can see some case studies here: Case Studies. In the meantime here are some links to online resources that I have found useful in the past and some new stuff too.
