APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTINGS
Contributions are now being accepted for the following conference:
The First Northumbria Creativity Conference
Wednesday 30th August - Friday 1st September, 2000
University of Northumbria at Newcastle, Longhirst Campus
Enhancing students' creativity - Creating the creative university
Invitation for advance contributions
Following on from the success of the four previous international Northumbria
higher education conferences on assessment, it is our intention to hold the
First Northumbria Creativity conference. The aim of this conference will be
to explore the ways in which educational and organisational development may
enable students to enhance their creativity, in or across all disciplines.
The format of the Northumbria Creativity Conference will be highly
participative. Much of our work will be undertaken in thematic task groups,
which will be commissioned to adopt imaginative approaches to the design of:
* Teaching, learning and assessment methods
* Higher education curricula
* Learning environments
* Staff development strategies
* Academic departments
* Universities and colleges, and government policies for higher
education, specifically to enhance the creative ability of students (and
therefore, their teachers and managers).
A variety of contributions is invited, relating to one or more of the above
themes (or additional themes by agreement). You are warmly invited to offer
a contribution, initially to the Creativity Computer Conference (3C), which
will be opened in May 2000. Proposals will be accepted by e-mail, snail-mail
or fax by 31st March, 2000.
