Why trust this guide

Underpinned by research. The guide is built on the research framework we created with Learnovate, Trinity College Dublin.

Written by experts. Written by Dr Stephen Comiskey, Nurture’s Director of Teaching and Learning and an expert in digitising formative assessment and feedback.

Practical guides. Any guides published by Nurture will always have practical tips and actionable insights. Usually you’ll find either a ‘Try This’ section, a useful cut-out or a checklist for success.

Evidence based. You’ll always find links to academic articles that support the content in Nurture eBooks and guides. If you have questions, we’ll put you in touch with our teaching and learning team who write the guides.

“The huge selling point about Nurture, apart from the fact that it is pedagogically sound, is it sits in the Teams environment.”

— Sir Mark Grundy, CEO, Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust
