I've just come to the end of a 4-year tenure, redeveloping & teaching a flexible online first, textbook free, skills-focused and accessible first year psychology unit.
In this time, I've taught 5000+ students. I have opinions I'll roll out here, but ask me questions. #HPS111 1/n

To start with, we chucked the textbook, lectures, and conventional readings, and replaced them with weekly video series (each video ~12 mins) with time specific overlaid links to primary articles using @H5PTechnology. That's most of the on-campus teaching gone, back in 2017. Why?
Why kill textbooks? Because they cost too much, are frequently wrong, and put students attention in the wrong place. I don't want students citing textbooks as evidence, so we modelled the use of evidence we want to see from them.
