INVITATION - UCL DEBATES IN HIGHER EDUCATION SEMINAR SERIES

Title: Becoming Professional: A Personal Learning Journey

Abstract:
The central question this paper considers is how do people learn what it is to be professional and how we learn to act in
more professional ways. It will consider different formats that the teaching of professionalism can take, including the provision of workshops, modules and reflective logs and the difficulties associated with each of these. It will
<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/cishe/seminars/debates.html>consider perceptions of being professional and how these can shift, which will raise the question of whether there are new approaches we can take in teaching and supporting this learning.

·         Enhancing learning through Web2.0,  Wednesday 16 December 2009

Medical Sciences Building, University of Leicester

 

Web2.0 technologies continue to grow, both in diversity and usage and have the potential to impact all areas of learning. How can a bioscientist navigate the technologies of Web2.0 and why should you bother? The Centre for Bioscience would like to bring together examples of Web 2.0 which enhance student learning or academic scholarship. The day will advocate useful approaches rather than advocating particular programmes and be aimed at the novice to moderate user of Web2.0 tools.
