Apologies for cross-posting
Dear Colleagues
This is a reminder that the closing date for the International Summer Institute,
organised by McMaster Institute for Innovation and Enhancement in Teaching and
Learning (MIIETL), Canada, is on Friday 12 February. We have already had interest in
participation from Australia, Canada, Croatia, England, Hong Kong, Netherlands,
Serbia, Sweden, United States and Wales.
It is one of the first Institutes to be held on the topic of ‘students as partners in
learning and teaching in higher education’ and has several key features which make it
distinctive:
Key features
* The overall aim of the International Summer Institute is to build the capacity
and understanding of faculty, staff and students to develop, design and implement
initiatives to promote the practice of students as partners in learning and teaching
in higher education.
* Faculty, staff and students in higher education are invited to come to
McMaster University, about 45 minutes south of Toronto International Airport, for
two, three or four days from 2-5 May 2016.
* Faculty and staff are encouraged where possible to bring a student with them,
or students should bring a member of faculty/staff with them, to participate in
either one or two consecutive two day highly interactive workshops.
* Alternatively teams of 4-6 faculty/staff and students (at least two of each)
from an institution may apply to join a three day ‘Change Institute’ where they will
be supported to plan the implementation of a Students as Partners initiative.
Inter-institutional teams are also welcome.
* The Summer Institute will be facilitated by highly experienced faculty/staff
and students including Sophia Abbot (Trinity, US), Lucie Sam Dvorokova (Queensland,
Australia), Peter Felten (Elon, US), Mick Healey (Healey HE Consultants, UK), Beth
Marquis (McMaster, Canada), Kelly Matthews (Queensland, Australia), Kelly Swaim
(Elon) and other students from McMaster.
* The McMaster International Summer Institute has students threaded throughout
every aspect of the work – from the planning to the facilitating to the participating
teams.
