FW: Date for Diaries: Enhancing Student Learning Through Innovative Scholarship 2017

Enhancing Student Learning Through Innovative Scholarship 2017

Learning Through Collaboration

July 20-21^st 2017, University of Sheffield

 

There is significant evidence to suggest that collaborative teaching enhances the student learning experience. Collaboration can of course take many forms and operate on many levels. From peer assisted learning approaches within (or external to) flipped classrooms, through innovation through partnership with students, to partnering with industry, to name but a few, higher education in the UK has many exemplars of excellent practice.

 

In this third Enhancing Student Learning Through Innovative Scholarship Conference, we welcome contributions from Teaching Focussed Academics to share their practice and experiences of collaborative teaching.

 

Alongside regular talks, we will also have a dedicated workshop parallel session, and welcome workshop proposals which share best practice and give participants a set of real world skills they can put into action in their own teaching. We will also have a dedicated workshop session on getting your paper published for those publishing with the area of practioner-led education for the first time.

 

Contributions are invited on the role of collaborative learning in the following

topics:

• Peer to Peer Learning
• Working with Students as Partners
• Collaborating with internal partners to enhance learning
• Learning through external engagement

 

We also welcome contributions to our standing session on the role and identity of teaching focussed academics in UK Universities.

Contributions may take the form of

• Talks (20 mins (15 + 5 mins for questions))
• Short Talks (5 mins)
• Workshop (90 mins)

 

For further details and to submit abstract proposals see http://tinyurl.com/q8uhhx4 Call for papers closes 21^st April 2017. Registration opens February 2017.

FW: Free Teaching and Learning Conversation Webinar: Tuesday 13th December 2016: Using social media for belonging and bonding

 

Dear Colleagues,

The next in our series of Teaching and Learning Conversations (TLC) on Tuesday 13th December 2016, is with Danielle D'Hayler Associate Professor Interpreting Studies at London Metropolitan University.

Danielle’s TLC  will explore the use of  “social media to enhance belonging and bonding”.  This 60 minute interactive webinar will share a number of case studies that examine some key questions in respect of the use of social media: How do I connect with students and peers using new technologies? What social media should I consider? Isn’t this dangerous or even a waste of time? Don’t we have enough to do already? Does it really work?

Full details of this TLC are available on the TLC website at: http://wp.me/p6HUdF-8o

We really hope that you will join the conversation and help to try to answer these questions together?

If you’d like to start the conversation early on Twitter, follow Diane  @DDhayer and the official TLC hashtag #tlcwebinars

Joining the conversation:

Simply follow this link http://mmu.adobeconnect.com/tlc/ and enter as a guest by typing your name, institution and country into the name field and clicking on the “Join Meeting” button.

Whether or not you have previously participated in a webinar or online activity using Adobe Connect we advise that you make sure that you do some checking and preparation in advance. Check your set-up and connection here.

You may also find our Adobe Connect Webinar Participant Guide useful to print out in advance of the session.We really hope that you will be able to join for what should be a lively and highly interactive TLC.

Best wishes, The TLC Team
