This paper reports findings from a case study in one UK University of innovative teaching practices using Interactive Whiteboards (IWBs). The study involved observations and interviews with teachers at the University who were using IWBs in particularly interesting or innovative ways. Findings report wide ranging pedagogies in practice. These are categorised against Haldane and Somekh’s (2005) typology of IWB pedagogies. Findings suggest that the pedagogies demonstrated span the typology according to the learning need perceived by the teachers and contexts of use. Thick descriptive examples of pedagogies in practice are given. An adapted typology of pedagogy in Higher Education is proposed.
