Our third Virtual Open Day for the MA in Children’s Literature by distance learning was held last Thursday. Individuals from the UK to Azerbaijan joined Laura Atkins and I for a fun event to learn more about the programme and the NCRCL.
We introduced everyone to the team and demonstrated the different teaching methods and tools on the MA. Laura spoke about some of the methods available, including ‘British Children’s Literature 1900-1960’, ‘Visual Texts’ and the new creative ‘Writing for a Child Audience’ module.
If you couldn’t attend the event, there is a recording of the session available now available to watch online. There are a few technical issues throughout, but it will give you a sense of what went on. Just follow these steps:
