Driven by ethics and values relating to the student experience, the Interdisciplinary Network for Research-Informed Assessment Practices (INRAP) is the assessment and feedback community of practice established by the University of Southampton with Advance HE in 2018.

Join us at the launch of the book: "Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education: institutional policies, research and practices in Europe".
Editors: Isabel Huet (Portuguese Open University & CIDTFF, LE@D), Teresa Pessoa and Fátima Sol (University of Coimbra, Portugal).

 

The 'idea' of this book was to move away from sharing experiences related to teaching and learning in higher education in just one or two countries, but instead, to organize a more European view on the policy, research and teaching practices that are shaping the way our students learn, academics teach and do research. We have a total of 16 chapters from academics in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and the Czech Republic. The book is organized in four interrelated themes: (1) policy and quality; (2) professionalization of teaching and academic development; (3) research and teaching nexus; and (4) pedagogy and practice.

 

Professor Lesley-Jane Eales-Reynolds will present the book and will deliver a short communication with the title: "Are we brave enough to be excellent teachers in this world of performance indicators?"

 

The book is available in Open Access via the following link:

http://monographs.uc.pt/iuc/catalog/book/222

 

Programme

Opening of the event - Vice-Rector Professor Cláudia Cavadas, University of Coimbra.

Welcoming remarks - Director of the Coimbra University Press, Professor Alexandre Dias Pereira, University of Coimbra.

Introduction - Book editors, Professor Isabel Huet, Portuguese Open University.

Conference: "Are we brave enough to be excellent teachers in this world of performance indicators?" and book presentation, Professor Lesley-Jane Eales-Reynolds.

Fwd: UKAT annual conference 2022

>

UKAT Annual Conference 2022

4 - 6 April 2022 (online)

Dear Colleagues

We are excited to announce that registration for our 2022 annual conference is now open! 

Based on our collective recent experiences, the 2022 UKAT Annual Conference will explore how we might reimagine advising/tutoring so that it is more relevant to students, more effective at helping all students and institutions to achieve their intended outcomes, and more efficient in its operation. The conference will focus on five key themes:

• Digital technology - how can our experiences of the widescale adoption of digital technology and the pivot to online learning inform the future role of technology in advising and tutoring?
• Identity – how can advising and tutoring support student and cohort identity development?
• Community – how can advising and tutoring support learning communities, and build the sense of belonging that is important to student success?
• Equality, Diversity and Inclusion – what role does advising and tutoring have in enhancing equality and inclusion in higher education, and in enhancing success for all students?
• Student-Centred Transformation – higher education is transformative, but how can advising and tutoring empower students and give them agency in the transformation that they experience through their education?

The Call for Proposals is now open. Full details of session formats can be found on the Call for Proposals page of the conference website and the call closes on 6 January 2022. We strongly recommend you consider submitting a proposal to the conference.

We recognise that it may be challenging for members to attend an in-person conference during the 2021-22 academic year due to funding and travel restrictions, and the pressures of continuing to deliver flexible blended learning to students. We have therefore decided that the 2022 UKAT Annual Conference will be an online conference to make it as accessible as possible to all who are interested in attending. For those who are able to meet in person, we are trying to arrange in-person, one day pre-conference study day to be held on Friday 1 April. Watch out for more details coming soon! Delegate registration for the conference and study day will open early in 2022.

We're looking forward to welcoming you to our conference!

Best wishes

Fwd: Assessment in HE webinars

We are delighted to advise you that The Assessment in Higher Education (AHE) Network we will be running a series of webinars in partnership with Transforming Assessment during this forthcoming academic year.  This session is scheduled for Wednesday 06 October 2021.  Please see details below:

 

06 October 2021: Using video in assessment and feedback

This session will explore two approaches to using video in assessment and feedback.  This panel session is jointly presented by Transforming Assessment and the Assessment in Higher Education Network (UK).

 

Session chair: Fabio Arico (University of East Anglia, UK)

 

Presenter 1: Justin Rami (Dublin City University, Ireland)

The impact and possibilities of video feedback in higher education – towards a model of care, trust, and social presence

This presentation will explore the use, impact and possibilities of Video Feedback in Higher Education towards a model of care, trust and social presence. Fostering the conditions for the design of a sustainable model in which dialogical feedback/forward can develop means the function of feedback can be mutually understood and utilised.

 

Presenter 2: Elizabeth Hidson, Ian Elliott, Alison Griffiths, Vikki Wynn, Simon Sheard & Jemma Bell (University of Sunderland, UK)

Video-enhanced dialogic assessment of teaching practice portfolios

Our guiding research question asks "what evidence of practice is co-constructed through the video-enhanced dialogic assessment interview process?" In this presentation, we present the Video-Enhanced Dialogic Assessment (VEDA) process and research project in the context of teacher education. VEDA can most easily be imagined as an online viva voce oral examination. We share two key case studies from the ongoing project. One focuses on the trainee teacher for whom formative video-stimulated recall, reflection and dialogue is part of their learning i.e. assessment for learning. The other case study will present the summative high-stakes VEDA interview where the assessor must be confident that all the evidence presented demonstrates that the candidate meets the necessary teachers' standards.

 

Abstracts

Please download abstracts for both presentations (PDF).

Fwd: Booking reminder: Digital Poverty

Digital Poverty (Equality)  Date: Wednesday 14th July 2021 Time: 13:00 - 15:30 Booking: www.ucisa.ac.uk/events The pandemic has taught us a lot of things about working from home, and it also highlighted another technology challenge that had gone under the radar, that of Digital poverty. Without access to student computer rooms and the power of Janet many students and staff struggled to carry on as normal. This was made worse because security requirements meant certain requirement had to be met by hardware etc. Though known of, the digital poverty gap had not been fully addressed. Though some aspects need governmental help this session will consider what we can do to make access to our systems more affordable and effective in low band width situations or when low end hardware is all that is available for high end work.
