eSTEeM class of May 2020

Hot on the heels of the 9^th eSTEeM Annual Conference, we are delighted to welcome a further 15 projects to the eSTEeM portfolio. Following the 16^th call for projects earlier this year, we received a range of projects across the STEM Faculty addressing issues of strategic importance from investigating the use of bitesize videos in level 2 programming to evaluating the value to students of drop-in tutorials to support assessment.
