About the Workshop Facilitator
Phil Race leads highly interactive workshops (and keynotes) on assessment, learning and teaching in higher education. He publishes widely on such things, and details of his work can be found on his website www.phil-race.co.uk . His passion is about ‘making learning happen’, in an approachable way, without recourse to jargon, acronyms or elitism.
He started as a scientist, but gradually became an educational developer. He completely failed to retire in 1995, and has been even busier ever since. Currently he is delighted to work two days a week (on average) for Leeds Metropolitan University, and travels the country (and world sometimes) for his remaining time, running workshops for teaching staff. His work was recognised in 2007 by the Higher Education Academy awarding him a National Teaching Fellowship, and the status of ‘Senior Fellow’ of the Academy.
