Fwd: Call for Contributions: Becoming Well Read 2020 (BWR20)








The Keele Institute for Innovation and Teaching Excellence (KIITE) would like to welcome contributions to Becoming Well Read, our annual academic reading symposium, April 1st 2020.

This exciting, practice-focused day brings together experiences from a range of communities to explore academic reading practices, reflect on the challenges of teaching reading for academic purposes, and share interesting and innovative methods.
 
Following last year's highly successful event, the second symposium will continue to explore this vital but often overlooked aspect of academic literacy. It will be valuable to anyone whose central focus is educational, learning or academic development, and to academic teaching staff who are looking for new ways of supporting their students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Within the general theme of reading for academic purposes, we welcome proposals for active and participatory workshops of 45 minutes on the following themes:

> Innovative approaches to teaching or supporting academic reading practices.
> Relationships between reading and scholarship/research/disciplinary identity.
> The role of social reading practices in the academic community.
> Academic reading as pleasure.
> Searching, selecting and curating reading (library perspectives).
> Transitions from FE to HE.
> The use of digital technologies to support critical reading.

Proposals should be submitted by midnight on Monday, 27th January, 2020 here.

Fwd: Bookings now open: Women in Tech Conference: Supportive, Disruptive, Resilient

Bookings are now open and can be done here: https://www.ucisa.ac.uk/Events/2020/May/WiT20

 

In the 2017/18 academic year only 19% of Computer Science students were women and in 2018 only 15% of Computer Science graduates were women. And yet there are countless studies showing that there is a shortage of digital and technology skills within the UK.

 

The Women in Tech Group are pleased to offer you an opportunity to join us in a one-day conference on 13th May 2020 to discuss ways we can all help in making the workplace and industry more appealing to women and help bridge the diversity and skills/recruitment gap. Under the three strands of Supportive, Disruptive and Resilient we will be exploring:

 

Supportive – "I can't be what I can't see"

 

Positive role models, career challenges at different life stages and challenging societal stereotypes.

 

Disruptive - "Pay it forward"

 

Showcasing successful change initiatives, behaviours and culture worth challenging

 

Resilient - "Thrive, not just survive".

 

Mental and physical wellbeing, work-life balance and connecting support networks

 

We are putting together a programme that will not only answer these and other questions but will challenge the status quo. As with all ucisa events there will be plenty of opportunity to network including a dinner the night before.

 

There will also be a "fireside chat" session where you'll be able to vote to throw your least favourite aspect of working in an IT environment into Room 101.

 

The event is aimed at staff of all grades and experience, men and women. From those wanting support or help with navigating their career to those who are able to provide that support or facilitate and affect change.

 

We will be holding the conference at the BCEC, right in the heart of Birmingham, a couple of minutes' walk from New Street station. Accommodation will be on site at the adjacent Holiday Inn.

 

Call for speakers:

If you would be willing to share your experiences or knowledge at this event in a presentation then the WiT committee would be really pleased to hear from you. Please email events@ucisa.ac.uk to register your interest in presenting.

 

Bookings are now open and can be done here: https://www.ucisa.ac.uk/Events/2020/May/WiT20

 

We hope to see you there!

Best wishes,  

Sian

Fwd: WORKSHOP: What is the future of the PG Cert Teaching & Learning in Higher Education?




 

Our workshop aims to instigate a wider, cross-institutional and national level discussion of the place, value, future and evidence *for* PG Certs in learning and teaching in HE in today's UK higher education. These questions are highly relevant for the educational development community as well as academic and professional services leaders, policy makers and strategists in education and staff development in HE for two main reasons. Firstly, recent changes in the regulatory (e.g. TEF) and operational (e.g. increasing student-staff ratios and reliance on fixed-term contract staff for teaching) landscapes of the HE sector have seen the gradual disappearance of these PG Certs, and their replacement with alternative teaching qualifications, e.g. teaching fellowships. Secondly, existing evidence for the effect of teaching qualifications on staff development in teaching and learning appears to favour PG Certs over their alternatives. The workshop will engage participants in a long-needed debate about what makes effective staff development, and the scholarship that can determine it. It will present and summarise for the debate and discussion the existing evidence from published research in the impact of teaching qualifications on staff development, including personal data of the workshop leads.

Fwd: Announcing the Unisa International HETL Conference






The International Higher Education Teaching and Learning Conference is hosted jointly by the International Higher Education Teaching and Learning (HETL) and the University of South Africa, from 10 to 13 August 2020 in Pretoria, South Africa.

Fwd: Revlsed notice: International Students as Partners Institute (ISaPI) 2020



The highly successful International Students as Partners Institute (ISaPI)<https://macblog.mcmaster.ca/summer-institute/> will be held for the 5th time at McMaster University, Ontario, Canada (approx. 45 min south of Toronto Airport) from 20-22 May 2020. Please pass this message on to any colleagues you think may be interested in ISaPI.


The overall aim of ISaPI is to build the capacity and understanding of faculty, staff, and students to develop, design, implement, and disseminate initiatives that promote the practice of students as partners in learning and teaching in higher education. The activities will be facilitated by a highly experienced international team of staff/faculty and students. Delegates may participate either in a series of workshops or the Change Institute:



  *   Staff and faculty are encouraged, where possible, to bring a student with them, or students to bring a member of staff/faculty with them to participate in a series of interactive workshops over three days, run by a new team, so previous participants are encouraged to join us again.
  *   Alternatively, teams of 4-6 faculty/staff and students (at least two of each) from an institution can apply to join a three day 'Change Institute' at which they'll develop a 'students as partners' initiative that they hope to implement in the coming year.

For further details about the change institute application process please go to: https://tinyurl.com/yzsvg6g2 Information on fees and registration can be found here: https://tinyurl.com/yzclxmok . Follow @McMaster_MI_SaP and #ISaPI20 on twitter for further updates.


Over 350 staff/faculty and students have participated in the last four years in roughly equal numbers.



Comments on the workshops:

  *   Thanks for this most challenging and rewarding experience, a very inspiring three days!
  *   The best thing about the Institute was having a chance to work with students and teachers from around the world and seeing the way they do things at their universities was really enlightening.
  *   Overall, I found the institute to be an eye-opening experience. As a student, it allowed me to learn from perspectives of those that I don't often hear from (professors, educational developers, curriculum developers), and provided me with a growing sense of agency over my own education.

Comments on the Change Institute:

  *   Allowed our group to be surrounded with creative institutions and engage in conversations
  *   New ideas that will help us to sustain and mature our project
  *   We have now combined our enthusiasm with concrete plans, and we are now able to make real progress

Key Dates & Deadlines

  *   2 December 2020: Registration for workshops open on a first come, first served basis.
  *   24 February 2020: Change Institute applications due (Apply Here!<https://surveys.mcmaster.ca/limesurvey/index.php/458649?lang=en>)
  *   9 March 2020: Change Institute teams notified of acceptance
  *   3 April 2020: Early Bird Registration deadline
  *   6 May 2020: Regular Registration deadline
  *   20-22 May 2020: Institute held

One of the outcomes of the first ISaPI was the establishment of the International Journal for Students as Partners<https://mulpress.mcmaster.ca/ijsap> that publishes research articles, case studies, reflective essays and opinion pieces.  It is run, like ISaPI, by an international team of faculty/staff and students from six different countries. The sixth issue was published recently.

THEME – LEADERSHIP FOR CHANGE IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD

In a time of instability, it is impossible to predict what the future holds. Indeterminate times demand strong leadership that can shore up an uncharted future. Throughout history, great leaders have brought about positive and enduring change in periods of doubt.  But how can today's leaders steer us on a path towards positive change when we don't know what new surprises tomorrow will bring?

FIE's fifth Student Global Leadership Conference will challenge and empower leaders to scope the challenge ahead, to guide in turbulent times, to channel frustration into action, to ensure greater social cohesion and to seek a better, fairer future for the benefit of us all.

Fwd: Do you like the idea of playful practice in HE? Have you heard about our upcoming webinars? Book now!










Our webinars are run by OneHE members and are open to everyone. Find out about our next two online events below and book your place.

The first is about play in HE and the second explores teaching and learning routes to becoming a professor.

Please share the details with your colleagues and networks!  

Playful practice in higher education with Andrew Walsh - 7 November 2019, 16.00-17.00 GMT

OneHE Foundation winner, Andrew Walsh, is the @playbrarian – on a mission to bring play into teaching. 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

Contemplative pedagogy in higher education: building confidence and community

Date
September 9, 2019 14:00 - September 12, 2019 13:00 UTC
Title
Contemplative pedagogy in higher education: building confidence and community
Location
Emerson College, Forest Row, UK
Posted by
Caroline Barratt
Details
Contemplative pedagogy in higher education: building confidence and community
A four-day symposium for educators
Teaching and supporting students in higher education within the current environment of political and financial uncertainty, is difficult. Increasing workloads and expectations, and growing anxiety and poor mental health amongst staff and students, reflect the challenging nature of both working and studying in modern day universities. Contemplative pedagogy, with its active embrace of the subjectivities of learners and educators, combined with its call for slowing down, feeling and connecting goes against the prevailing trends in higher education today. Growing research points to the value of contemplative approaches in teaching and learning, to deepen understanding, build community and improve the wellbeing of students and those teaching and supporting them.
The theme of this contemplative pedagogy symposium is building confidence and community and it is relevant for anyone with an interest in contemplative ways of teaching and learning, no matter their level of experience or formal role. The event will include workshops run by participants who will demonstrate how they use contemplative practices in teaching, learning and the support students. There will be time to engage in contemplative practices together and actively build our community. Through the use of Open Space Technology, there will be deep exploration of your own questions and the gentle fostering of confidence and community.
At this point we envisage three key areas for exploration:
  • How do we slow and deepen learning both for ourselves and our students?
  • How do we build community both within our institutions and outside, so that difficult social challenges such as social justice and inequality can be explored meaningfully and tackled effectively?
  • How can contemplative pedagogy contribute to culture change so that we might create a more just and sustainable future in and through higher education?
We invite you to come with an inquisitive mind and a willingness to actively participate and explore your own experience. The event will create space for reflection and meaning making, allowing you to develop greater confidence in your role as an educator and the potential for change that this embodies. This will, again, be a truly unique event on your conference timetable.
Cost
Early Bird Employer funded: £510 (available until 31.05.19)
Early Bird Self Funded: £410 (available until 31.05.19)
Employer funded: £590
Self-funded: £490
The symposium fees include tuition, all meals (from Monday lunchtime until Thursday lunchtime) and accommodation in single rooms with shared bathroom facilities onsite at Emerson College.

Identity, Agency, and Choice – personal approaches to researcher development

09:30 – 16:30 | 18th October 2019 | King's College London

 

National guidance suggests that early career researchers can expect to use 15–20% of their research time for professional development. This is a generous offer, and so it is important that every researcher can find value and relevance in the professional development activities that institutions offer. Yet, what 'valuable professional development' means for each researcher will be different. Identities at work, and at home, previous learning and work experiences, different national contexts, systemic inequalities, and future intended career trajectories, will all create different support and development needs for each individual.

 

If we start from the position of helping researchers to appreciate that learning is everywhere, not just in the training room, we can raise their awareness of the development that takes place through, for example, their peer-groups, committees, relationships and disciplinary networks. In tandem, we must also help researchers to navigate the huge amount of internet-based advice and guidance available to them in the form of blogs, webinars, podcasts, video series, online courses and social networks. Creating in-house development provision that resonates with each researchers' needs and preferences, aligns with the expectations of the funders, and satisfies strategic drivers, layers complexity on complexity for best practice in researcher development.

 

With so much on offer, how can we ensure personalised learning for each researcher? This conference seeks to present and discuss themes that are related to the policies and practices of researcher development including but not limited to: identity, agency, choice, the hidden curriculum, adult learning, coaching, mentoring and self-reflection.

 

The fifth annual REDS conference will provide an opportunity to explore pedagogical, theoretical and conceptual approaches. The conference leaders also particularly wish to explore the wider role of researcher developers in influencing policy and strategy development in institutions.
