15th Improving Student Learning Symposium hosted by
the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development (OCSLD)
IMPROVING STUDENT LEARNING - FOR WHAT?
3-5 September 2007
Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland
CALL FOR PAPERS
We hope that the theme for this symposium - 'for what' - will challenge
contributors to consider the purposes of mass higher education in the
21st century. And more specifically, in introducing innovations we hope
will improve student learning, what are we actually trying to achieve,
and what is that learning for?
Please submit your paper proposal online at
www.brookes.ac.uk/services/ocsld/isl/isl2007/. The closing date for
submissions is 28 February 2007, and authors will be notified by the
end of March whether their paper has been selected for presentation.
BACKGROUND
In 1993, the first Improving Student Learning Symposium was held at
Warwick University in the UK. Since then it has become an established
event on the international calendar, with up to 200 participants from
over 15 countries at each conference. The major aim of the Improving
Student Learning Symposia is to provide a forum which brings together
those who are primarily researchers into learning in higher education
and those who are primarily practitioners concerned more pragmatically
with improving their practice, but from whichever starting point,
papers are only accepted if they take a sufficiently scholarly,
research-based approach.
ISL is supported by the Higher Education Academy.
