Looking back at the first few weeks of the project it is clear that there were a few defining moments. For me personally, the Prezi (created by fellow team member Savannah Swan) was a defining moment of the project. One of the first tasks set by Phil (the University Student Engagement Officer and project coordinator)\u00a0was to create a short presentation on what \u2018Learning and Teaching\u2019 at University meant to us and how we would describe it to others. Savannah created a Prezi\u00a0for her\u00a0presentation and it inspired the whole team.<\/p>\n

The emotive nature of the music and the way it was presented in such a humble fashion made it really hit home as to what we were trying to achieve. After Savannah\u2019s presentation, I think we all realised just how important this project was and just how powerful the Learning and Teaching Strategy could be for students (hence the slogan \u2013 You Have More Power Than You Think). The emotional reaction from Rayya Ghul (Head of Academic Development) made it very clear that a lot of people had a lot of time and heart invested in the strategy and that we would definitely feel the same by the end of the project \u2013 if not already!<\/p>\n

The emotion was clearly positive but also made me nervous. The positive responses and love that everyone had for this project put a lot of pressure on us as the student team who were tasked with developing these ideas from scratch and, up until this point, we didn\u2019t have a completely clear idea of just how big the project was. It was after this session that I realised just how much was riding on our work and it spurred me on to make sure that we put every bit of passion possible into this project.<\/p>\n
