Subject: Bookings now open for the second NoWAL conference
Friday September 5th 2008
Up Close and Personal: our changing roles in a digital learning age Edge
Hill University, Ormskirk
Conference Details and Call for Registration
http://www.nowal.ac.uk/general_programme.php?action=view&sql_id=35
We are pleased to announce that Professor Tara Brabazon, University of
Brighton will be one of the keynote speakers at the second NoWAL
conference.. The other keynote speakers will be Alison Mackenzie, Dean of
Learning Services and Solstice Director at Edge Hill University and Margaret
Weaver, Head of Learning and Information Services, University of Cumbria. In
addition to the keynote speeches there will be a number of
workshops/presentations exploring the themes of the conference.
Our core theme is centred on the transformations that are taking place in
the way we think, work and communicate as a result of the pervasive digital
learning environment that has become so much a part of our own, and our
students’, lives.
The Conference aims to explore the following strands in the context of role
change and working differently:
? Innovative partnerships and relationships that are emerging to enhance
e-learning support and experiences
? The changing way that staff engage with their users for example via social
software, web services, personalized learning, Library 2.0 and the
implications for practice
? New roles and skills emerging as a result of the implementation of
technologies in the physical, and/or virtual learning environment
? Skills development of our users in a digital world and the impact on our
ways of working
This conference is being organized by NoWAL (North West Academic Libraries)
in association with SOLSTICE (Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning
at Edge Hill
University) and the University of Cumbria.
Why attend?
The Conference will appeal to a broad range of staff groups and,
irrespective of your role, help to develop an understanding of the skills
and expertise that might be required to work effectively (now and in the
future) to meet the needs of the “net generation”
. Case studies will bring the theme to life.
What delegates said about the first NoWAL Conference:
“Excellent, very well organised. Current topic and good keynotes provided an
excellent overview while getting us to think about our own environments.”
“An excellent first NoWAL Conference”
“A very well organised informative day. Keynote speakers were engaging and
entertaining and the breakout sessions allowed you to tailor the day to your
specific needs.”
