SUPPORTING SMALL-GROUP TEACHING WITH C&IT
A one-day workshop from ALT, run by the ASTER Project
DATE: 9 May 2001
VENUE: University of York
TIME: 1000-1630
COST: stlg 70 (ALT members), stlg 120 (non-members)
OVERVIEW
Small-group teaching is widely recognised as an important part of a
university education, but changes in Higher Education are
challenging traditional methods. Communication and Information
Technologies (C&IT) are often suggested as an answer to these
challenges. However, introducing the use of C&IT needs careful
planning if it is to be successful.
This workshop will explore the ways in which C&IT can be used to
support small-group teaching in a traditional, face-to-face setting,
enhance group-based activities and improve the quality of teaching and
learning.
TOPICS TO BE COVERED
During the workshop participants will:
* Discuss the role and functions of small-group teaching
* Explore the ways in which C&IT can support small-group teaching
and learning (face-to-face)
* Consider an educational framework for the use of C&IT in
small-group activities
* Reflect on current practice and opportunities for change
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Participants will:
* gain a deeper understanding of the role of C&IT in small-group
teaching and learning
* consider the benefits of change
* construct a personal action plan
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Lecturers who teach (small) groups or who are considering
introducing group work and anyone involved in supporting small-
group and group-based learning and teaching.
