In this episode we talk all things block delivery with Leanne de Main - Associate PVC for Education and Deputy Dean of the Business School at de Montford University.

DMU have recently switched to block delivery for UG and PG courses and have recently published the initial findings after implementation.

We talk about the positive impact on student happiness and retention, the challenges of implementing such a big change and the need to create space to allow academics to experiment with their assessment practices.

Leanne's work has been exemplary and this chat really shines a light on what can be done with a bit of experimentation, commitment and expertise.
