Fwd: Join us! FREE event 10 July: UAL Teaching Platform: Networked Making - new modes of learning

FREE Event: UAL Teaching Platform: Networked Making - new modes of learning

Wed 10 July

09.30am – 4.30pm

Camberwell College of Arts, Peckham Road SE5 8UF

 

Join us to discover and explore the potential of networked making through collaboration, discussion and, of course, making.

 

Keynote

All making requires tools, both material and conceptual. Successful networked making - the building of a creative, connected practice within the contemporary information ecosystem - demands digital tools and platforms, but also conceptual tools.  

In this online workshop, UAL's first online Visiting Fellow Dr Bonnie Stewart and Daniel Lynds will examine how the concepts of power, inclusion, and presence operate in networked spaces, and how strategic networked making can enhance practice and support a stronger societal fabric at the same time.

If you can't make it to Camberwell for this session you can still sign up to participate virtually through our online classroom.

Who should attend?

This event is for tutors and leaders in art and design or the wider sector who have an interest in digital pedagogies and networked making.

 

Cost

This event is free. Lunch is included.

Fwd: Student Experience Conference 2019 – Monday 4 November: Call for Contributions

Student Experience Conference 2019 – Monday 4 November: Call for Contributions

 

How can higher education providers support student and graduate success?

We're pleased to announce the call for contributions for the 2019 Student Experience Conference at the University of Derby.

 

The conference has the theme of 'student and graduate success'. Supporting success in higher education is a current focus.  The Office for Students highlight in their strategy that all students need to be supported to succeed.  Additionally, Advance HE produced a Student Success Framework (2017) so institutions can consider how they can enhance student success. This conference invites delegates to share best practice and experiences in supporting both student and graduate success.  

 

We welcome submissions based on the following themes:

·       Ensuring success for a diverse student body – The Office for Students' strategy outlines the importance of supporting all students to succeed in higher education, whatever their background. How can we support an increasingly diverse population to achieve success?

·       Supporting success over the student journey – students undergo a range of transitions into, within, and out of higher education. From prospective student through to alumni, how can we support students?

·       Communicating for success – communication plays an important role in supporting success.  It is essential that this is two-way – what do students tell us, and what do we tell them? This theme will discuss the roles of communication and student voice in shaping student success.

This conference has been developed with students and to continue the ethos of students as partners we ask that all presentations are co-delivered (or exclusively delivered) by students. 

 

Submissions to be sent to dsec@derby.ac.uk by 22 May 2019. We welcome submissions from students or staff in higher education, as well as partnership organisations. Your proposal should indicate whether your session will be a presentation or workshop.  Please find the submission template attached to this email. We are also seeking student or graduate presenters to deliver a 15 minute keynote about what student success means to them.  Please complete a proposal if you're interested in delivering a keynote.  We will confirm accepted proposals by 10 June 2019. If your proposal is accepted, you must register as a conference delegate (cost of £75 per delegate at Early Bird price, £100 after Early Bird period) – registration details will be circulated in June.

For any queries, please contact us by emailing dsec@derby.ac.uk.

Fwd: FREE one-day forum on digital exams - University of Bath

Hi All

Here at Bath we have been taking an increased interest in digital exams, and for the past academic year we have been trialling an online exams solution (in addition to BYOD), across a variety of subject disciplines.

We are pleased to announce that we will be holding a FREE one-day forum on digital exams at Bath on the 25th June, with guest speakers from BPP, Brunel and the University of Agder. Everyone is welcome to attend, and the forum's objective is to jointly discuss the opportunities of digital assessment to innovate assessment practices from both a pedagogical and technical perspective.

Please do feel free to share the event with anyone who might be interested, and we hope to see some of you there!
