Keele Interactive Whiteboard Research Group

Keele has been involved in interactive whiteboard research since 2000. This research has led to the publication of research articles, commercial software and the development of a CPD course for mathematics teachers.

Recent events

In December 2008 our final report and summary of our work for the National Centre for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics was published.

In November 2006 our report and summary for the Secondary National Strategy was published. Folowing this we published a discussion paper called Secondary mathematics teaching and the interactive whiteboard: A revolution in the making or years of wasted opportunities (pdf)

Publications overview

CPD opportunities

Keele is now about to offer innovative CPD entitled Enhanced Interactive Mathematics Teaching, intended for teachers in mathematics who use interactive whiteboards.
