Ruth Weaver is the Director of the CETL in Experiential Learning, one of the Unversity’s four Centres of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (see http://www.hefce.ac.uk/learning/tinits/cetl/). Ruth teaches and researches in remote sensing and biogeography and is on the supervisory team for Pete Carss.
Each of the Plymouth CETLs attracts a recurrent budget of 500k per annum for five years, between 2005 and 2010, and a one off capital budget of £2.5m. The aim of the CETL in Experiential Learning in environmental and natural science is to further develop our excellence in fieldwork, lab work and work-based learning in the environmental and natural sciences, and to disseminate both this new work and existing good practice across the institution and the sector.
