Dear Colleagues,
SWAPltsn at the SPA conference in Belfast
Three members of the SWAP team - Jackie Rafferty, Sue Orton and Pat
Young - will be attending the SPA's annual conference.
1. We will be runnning two workshops on developments in web-based
content delvery. In preparing for these, we would very much like to
hear from anyone who is using ICT in their teaching of Social Policy.
We want to hear about all aspects of the process of developing the
use of web-based technology for subject delivery and course
development, whether you are at the beginning with limited aims at
the moment, or more ambitious in your use of technology.
2. We also hope to run a session on interactive teaching in Social
Policy and again would hope people might participate with examples
from their own practice.
3. We are wishing to support anyone wanting to use IT in their
presentations so please let us know when your abstract is accepted if
you would like our help.
4. Finally, we are happy to facilitate a discussion of issues
around QAA, programme specifications, working to develop ways of
supporting staff with these procedures. This can be seen as a
development from the SPA/SWAP benchmarking event in London in July
(see SWAP's website for materials from this event, including now notes of workshops).
If you are interested in such a discussion (subject to the agreement of the
conference organisers) of course, we need you to
let us know.
Please respond to any of these ideas by e-mailing Sue
Orton at SWAP [log in to unmask] or
P Young, SWAP at School Policy Studies

We look forward to hearing from you.
Sue Orton
p.s. This message will also be posted on the new Social Policy ltsn
discussion list. [log in to unmask]
