Join Andrew as he takes us through the concept of play, its relevance to the science of learning and into new ways to incorporate play into our everyday practice. Register ahead of the webinar to receive resources before the session and come prepared to roll up your sleeves and get involved. Andrew will discuss why playful learning approaches are a good idea in HE settings and give webinar participants a chance to discuss their own feelings and experiences about using playful learning. We'll cover briefly what we mean by play and playful learning, some of the key benefits of taking a playful approach, and some practical examples of what a playful approach looks like. Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences, concerns, and anticipations around playful learning, as well as reflecting upon how they might use playful learning approaches in their own practice. Find out more and book Becoming a professor in teaching and learning - 26 November 2019, 14.00-15.00 GMT Becoming a professor is not easy but for some reason becoming a professor in teaching and learning appears to be harder than most. Part of this is because there is no consensus about what a pedagogic professor looks like, and part of this is linked to uncertainty about appropriate selection criteria, and the type of evidence required to demonstrate professorial behaviours and activities. In this webinar you'll learn how to: Undertake an audit of your professorial journey to date, and identify interventions to fill any gaps Engage with networks to develop your practice and profile Access support and mentoring from established teaching and learning professors Identify the evidence you need which is both impactful and sustainable Approach writing your submission documentation Find out more and book
