1 . While this article focuses on my use of Talis Elevate in an online learning environment during the COVID-19 pandemic , Talis Elevate existed pre-Covid and has proven pedagogically useful in a range of teaching and learning contexts . See , for example , Jamie Wood , Matt East , and Hope Williard ’ s chapter in Designing Courses with Digital Technologies ( 2021 ), which outlines the use of Talis Elevate in History at the University of Lincoln before and during the pandemic .
2 . Keele University is renowned for enabling students to complete a dual honours degree ; therefore , it is not uncommon for students in English modules to undertake modules in other disciplines . The reading and analytical skills developed throughout Playing Parts are transferable to other subject areas and even beyond university into the workplace .
3 . For further inspiration on the types of activities that can be undertaken on Talis Elevate , see Wood et al . ( 2021 ), Wood ( 2021 ), Merrydew ( 2020 ), and Cooper et al . ( 2020 ). The website Talis Elevate contains a helpful archive of open access resources related to the use of Talis Elevate in teaching and learning across the UK higher education sector , including recorded presentations from the Teach . Learn . Collaborate . Repeat . Conference in 2021 .
