Fwd: FW: Free workshop 29th Jan: Developing graduate attributes and sustainability agenda though hybrid PBL

 

 

Developing Graduate Attributes through the Sustainability Agenda
and Problem-Based Learning

Glyndwr University, Wrexham

Tuesday 29^th January 2013, 10am – 4 pm

 

This free, one-day workshop at Glyndwr University, Wrexham, focuses on the development of graduate attributes and the provision of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), using an interdisciplinary, ‘Hybrid’ Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. Traditionally, PBL is staff –intensive, small-group teaching.  A hybrid or blended learning approach provides online support for learning, to make it cost-effective.

 

This workshop is the outcome of a national, three-year project, funded by the Higher Education Academy, entitled ‘Hybrid problem-based learning: a scalable approach to sustainability education?’. The project is a collaboration between Keele University, The University of Manchester and Staffordshire University, who all run different Hybrid-PBL courses in sustainability education. The Hybrid-PBL approach has been developed to enable the delivery of PBL-style teaching to larger student numbers in a less resource intensive way for the development of Graduate Attributes and the teaching and learning of sustainability issues. This approach will be explored during the day, along with links to other pressing agendas in Higher Education including Employability, and Internationalisation.

 

This workshop is aimed at educators from any discipline, from university, Further Education, and other with teaching responsibilities, who have interests in developing:

1) problem-based learning approaches
2) education for sustainability
3) graduate attributes and
4) the use of social media in teaching.
