TLR Thematic Clusters

TLRs have been grouped into the 'thematic clusters' listed below, based on similarity of their aims and learning outcomes. These clusters are intended to assist tutors in the selection of TLRs that match the interests and learning needs of their students. It should be noted that the clusters are not mutually exclusive - hence some TLRs appear within more than one cluster. It should also be noted that, while there are clusters containing TLRs on critical thinking and on environmental values, all TLRs are intended broadly to promote the project's concerns for critical thinking and values awareness; however the TLRs listed in these clusters do so in a more generic fashion. For a complete list of all TLRs, see the Index of TLRs.
