Threshold concepts

When filling in their wandering minds sheets, several of the staff at UWA picked up on the idea of threshold concepts, which I touched upon in the talk I gave to them. The notion of “Threshold concepts and troublesome knowledge” originated with Jan Meyer and Ray Land and I think gives an interesting way of thinking about IL – can we change the way in which staff and students perceive IL in a permanent way?
Follow the link above to find refs to Meyer and Land’s original work.

This pic is nothing to do with libraries; it is a huge crane transporter leaving Fremantle yesterday.
