The pollen project is to devise, create and maintain a network for Psychology lecturers. Based in Scotland, though with relevance internationally, this blog has been designed as a starting point for the network: a space in which lecturers and teaching staff in psychology and related disciplines can create databases of learning materials, share good practice and collaborate on teaching and learning projects.

The broad aims of pollen are to:
(1) Undertake and support small research and service development projects as proposed by Scottish lecturers in psychology.
(2) Organise seminars on teaching and learning in psychology.
(3) Submit research proposals for further funding on teaching and learning in psychology in conjunction with Scottish psychology departments.
(4) Create a website to promote the work of pollen.
(5) Promote and disseminate good practice in teaching and learning within psychology in Scotland.

And so it begins

Welcome to pollen! At the moment this blog is maintained by an individual, but the idea is that at some point other people will be able to add to, and develop this site for themselves.  This site should be treated as a resource and a shared space to bring together ideas and issues relating to the teaching of psychology and the psychology of teaching. Keep watching.

  3. Hate to be a nit-picker (especially as I was pleased to disover this useful looking site) but could we replace the apostrophe in this blog's title: "Lecturers' network" not "Lecturer's network" - unless there's only one of you it just doesn't look professional. :)

  4. Well spotted Hugh. How embarrassing that the error stayed up for so long! Good to have people keeping an eye on such things.
