Teaching large groups in art, design and communication
21st January 2003
led by Jonathan Baldwin

Increasingly, higher education is taking in larger groups of
students, incorporating a wide variation in terms of ability,
previous learning experiences and expectations. Tried and tested
teaching techniques don't always work under these circumstances -
indeed without some modification they could be counter productive.
But large groups need not be seen as an insurmountable problem.
Tackled with imagination, they can produce a dynamic learning
environment well-suited to providing students with opportunities to
develop teamwork, independence and self-management.

This session looks both at the issues raised by large student groups,
and ways in which they can be overcome, as well as the opportunities
afforded by them.

Preparing for academic leadership
28th January 2003
led by Allan Davies

This workshop will seek to support colleagues in participating

transformative devices such as learning and teaching strategies,
quality assurance mechanisms and codes of practice to bring about
substantial change.
