This is a two-day workshop, facilitated by the Curriculum Open-access Resources in Economics (CORE) project team, focused on effective and innovative teaching of economics using the free of charge CORE online text books – The Economy, Economy, Society, and Public Policy, and Doing Economics: Empirical Projects, and the respective teaching and learning resources. This event will bring together academics from UK and around the world, with the aim of sharing good practice on how to improve students’ engagement, learning outcomes, and quality of feedback, and how these ideas could feed into the curriculum transformation in Economics.
