FW: Creativity, Copyright and Citation - Learning on Screen Members' Day 2017

This year the Learning on Screen annual members' day will look at the issues of creativity, copyright and citation with the use of audiovisual in education. The Learning on Screen AGM will also take place during the day. 

Friday 1 December, 10 am – 3 pm

Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, Mayfair, London W1J 0BD

Rates: 

£30 - Learning on Screen member

£50 - Non-member

£15 - Student rate

 

 

Audiovisual can support creativity in teaching, learning and research across all subject areas, so for our members' day this year we will hear from a range of speakers about how and why they use it in their work. With presentations, demonstrations, case studies and an expert panel discussion, the day will outline how to find and use a wide range of audiovisual content, supported with metadata. We will also hear about ways to reduce the environmental impact of creating new audiovisual material.

Understanding the copyright implications of using audiovisual materials in teaching, learning and research remains a priority issue for our members and the day will cover the latest research and guidance on this. The final piece of the jigsaw is understanding how to correctly cite the use of audiovisual material and our newly updated academic citation guidelines will also be presented on the day.

6) Transforming Feedback: Research and Development Conference 28 June 2018 (UK)

Our colleagues at 'Assessment in Higher Education' (AHE) are running a one day conference in Manchester, UK on 28 June 2018.

Feedback is a challenging aspect of Higher Education academic practice. Despite considerable efforts across the sector to enhance the effectiveness of feedback and address student concerns, successive National Student Surveys continue to highlight assessment and feedback issues.  At the same time, considerable advances have been made with theorising and rethinking the notion of feedback, challenging assumptions and current practices. We might consider, for example, the consequences of tension between the neoliberal, high accountability policy framework of higher education and the development of feedback that promotes self-regulated learning.

Keynote: "Feedback for the longer term: Developing student feedback literacy"
Professor David Carless University of Hong Kong

Transforming Assessment will also be running a post-conference webinar in the form of a panel style session as part of our 2018 series.

The call papers and conference registration is now available:
