D-STEP Project – Update

In June 2017, Dr Mark Glynn gave a presentation to an expert panel summarising progress to-date on the National Forum funded D-STEP project. The focus of this project was originally in the discipline of Psychology with a small team of people but this emphasis has since evolved to a range of other areas. The intention is to develop and enhance sustainable and impactful discipline-related initiatives through building teaching groups and communities of practice. Further information about the D-STEP project and summary of activity achieved so far appears in the video below and on the National Forum’s website.
