CEBE Conference, 'QAA and Teaching Quality in the
Built Environment', Monday, 3rd December 2001,
the TechnoCentre, Coventry.
The Centre for Education in the Built Environment (CEBE),
would like to draw your attention to a key one-day event, 'QAA
and Teaching Quality in the Built Environment', on Monday, 3rd
December, 2001, at the TechnoCentre, Coventry. This event is
intended to allow departments and schools to get one step
ahead as they prepare for QA audits. The government's
intentions regarding quality regulation and enhancement
changed very rapidly earlier this year, leading to the
HEFCE/QAA/UUK/SCOP consultation paper Quality Assurance
in Higher Education. Many things remain uncertain at present,
including the status and role of subject Benchmarks; the
process for sampling subjects for review; and the enhancement
versus regulatory role of the QAA.
At this year's conference, CEBE have invited Peter Milton from
the QAA to explain and discuss the new QA review proposals
and outcomes from the consultation process. You will also
have the opportunity to exchange views and learn from the
experience of those departments who have already
completed the review process. The day should be particularly
useful for Heads of Department; those charged with
responsibility for overseeing learning and teaching; and team
leaders dealing with professional accreditation and internal
quality audits.
Further event details, a programme and a downloadable
booking form may be found on the CEBE website at
http://cebe.cf.ac.uk/ Please note that places at the event are
strictly limited and early bookings are advised. Booking forms
for the conference should be returned to Coventry University
Enterprises Ltd at the address stated on the form. The deadline
for booking is Monday, 26th November 2001.
