**APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING**
SEEC is organising a workshop designed for academic or administrative staff working in HE, FE or private providers who are new or relatively new to academic credit, credit frameworks and their uses. Just 20 places are available and registration has just opened.
WORKSHOP ON: ACADEMIC CREDIT AND ITS USE AT HE LEVEL – AN INTRODUCTION
Friday 6th October 2017, Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ
The use of credit to define programmes of study and support student mobility and lifelong learning has become widespread with a wealth of reference points and acronyms including the FHEQ, the RQF, Dublin descriptors, RPL/APL, RPCL, ECTS and SEEC level descriptors. This event will introduce credit in an HE setting and explore terminology, transferability and sectoral practices around its use.
Participants will gain an understanding of:
• Credit and its definition
• The uses of credit to support student mobility and progression
• UK, US and European frameworks for credit
• Recognition and accreditation processes
• The nature and role of the SEEC descriptors
• Institutional policies and their variations
• Topical issues in credit and its use
Facilitator: Dr Mark Atlay was until recently Director of Academic Development at the University of Bedfordshire and is a past Chair of SEEC. He is currently joint Chair of the UK Credit Forum (UKCF). Mark is a National Teaching Fellow with over 25 years’ experience of the use of credit and credit frameworks in HE.
How to Register: Staff from members of SEEC and NUCCAT benefit from a reduced fee of £65. For non-members, the event fee is £149 and includes a copy of the SEEC Level Descriptors (2016). Registration is via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/academic-credit-and-its-use-at-he-level-an-introduction-tickets-36472481173
