Supporting Face to Face Teaching

Abstract

The needs of Graphics and Visualization Education (GVE) are often more demanding of teaching facilities than are other subject areas. ln the UK there is political pressure to improve the student experience through assessment of subject areas and as a result of the introduction of student fees. One area is the need to improve the teaching facilities and methods of delivery. GVE may be considered to be very specialist and not a key driver for facility improvement. The requirements, when met, can however provide improvement for all. There is also a need for widening the use of the techniques. Despite many awareness raising exercises, the techniques are still seen as being specialists and there is little penetration in some subject areas.
