Peer reviewed
Download full textBurton, Sarah; Hutchings, Sharon; Lundy, Craig; Lyons-Lewis, Andrea – Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, 2019
This article examines the intersection of service-learning with complex systems theory. It is based on a research project we undertook to explore whether complex systems theory might be useful for better understanding the dynamics of service-learning practice and thus for assisting in the design, running, and evaluation of service-learning…

Kastens, Kim A.; Manduca, Cathryn A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2017
Many geoscience education initiatives now involve cross-departmental or multi-institutional programs. However, the geoscientists who lead such programs typically have little experience or training in program design, leadership, or evaluation. In this commentary, we make the case that geoscientists taking on these ambitious leadership roles can…

Ellington, Henry – Simulation & Gaming, 2012
In this invited autobiography, the author describes the impact that educational gaming and simulation has had on his professional career. He begins by reviewing his early life and education in Aberdeen and his subsequent work as a research scientist, schoolteacher, and physics lecturer. He then shows how he changed disciplines from physics to…
