Technology-enhanced Learning Showcase

6 December, 2010

As part of AU’s commitment to technology-enhanced learning, staff are invited to an event to showcase good practice in teaching and learning with technology. The aim is to explore ways to foster a culture of innovation in technology-enhanced learning and facilitate peer support among academic staff. We especially hope to solicit opinions from academic staff about what they need in order to use technology effectively in teaching.

• Date: Monday 6 December 2010
• Time: 11.15-16.30 (lunch is included)
• Place: Senior Common Room, Geography Tower, Llandinam Building

After a welcome from the Director of Information Services and the Pro Vice Chancellor for Learning and Teaching, there will be a talk about learning spaces by invited speaker, Les Watson. This will be followed by presentations from AU academic staff demonstrating technology-enhanced learning innovations, including varied approaches to interactive teaching and formative feedback.

The event will conclude with a focus group to discuss whether academic staff would like an information commons (a place for staff to meet both formally and informally to share ideas). If such a physical space is developed, what types of activities should take place in it? How should the space be configured to best suit those activities? Bring your ideas and join the discussion!

This event is part of AU’s JISC Building Capacity project http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/bcap.aspx. For more information, see the JISC Building Capacity page on Nexus.
