Fwd: ePortfolio Workshop

A FREE workshop provided by JISC

 

How can ePortfolios support 21^st Century Learning?

10:00 - 16:30 Wednesday 10^th November 2010

 

Venue: Euston House, 24 Eversholt Street, London

 

e-Portfolios are not a new concept. In various guises, digital presentations of skills and competences, online records of achievement, and action plans with opportunities for reflection have been in use in education for nearly a decade. So what is new about e-portfolios?

 

This free-to-attend workshop will explore what we mean by e-portfolios and how e-portfolios can support 21st century learning. Drawing on the work of JISC-funded projects and other significant e-portfolio developments, it will provide a snapshot of learning enhanced by e-portfolios in higher, further and continuing education.

 

Who should attend?

This workshop is for those who use, or support others use of, e-portfolios: practitioners and managers in higher and further education; staff developers; those involved in initial teacher training; and in the management and implementation of PDP, CPD and lifelong learning.

Fwd: Academic Integrity Workshop - 16th September 2010

Acaemic Integrity Workshop - 16th September 2010
Oxford Brookes University (Wheatley Campus)
HLST & Academy JISC Academic Integrity Service

Student plagiarism and related concerns, such as collusion are serious and complex issues in higher education. In recent years, higher education institutions has been working to improve their policies and practice in the area of academic integrity not only to ensure that cases of plagiarism can be effectively managed but so that students have opportunities to develop their understanding of good academic practice and the associated skills. This workshop will give us an opportunity to discuss the implementation of institutional policies and practice relating to academic integrity, and how these might be reviewed and improved. There will be an opportunity to share good practice in this area and to help inform the development of related guidance for the higher education community.

If you or a colleague from the HLST community might be interested in attending this day, please let us know by email to: hlst@brookes.ac.uk

CONFERENCE BACKGROUND PAPER

 

Developing Capability through Lifewide Education

Norman Jackson

 

The paper argues that to prepare students for the complexities of the world (their real world) we need to pay attention to the development of students' capability for dealing with real world situations. We talk a lot about student-centred learning but if we respected the learner as the designer of their own life experience, which includes higher education as part of that experience, we would have more chance of embracing, supporting and recognising their capability to deal with real world situations.
