Usual apologies for cross-postings. UCoSDA primary contacts should have already received this, via their list.

HOW DO WE KNOW WE ARE DOING A GOOD [STAFF DEVELOPMENT] JOB?
Some of you may know that this was the title of a session run at the UCoSDA Workshop at Sheffield, in November.
Because this issue is important to all of us, and one which we need to pursue as a staff development community, I have
created a Web-based version of that session.
It is available to anyone to work through, and can be accessed at
http://www.uea.ac.uk/csed/workshop
It is relevant to *all* Staff Development staff - including our support staff - and best done in (at least) pairs - so
you can talk together about issues as you go. To do it properly, the full session will probably take an hour or so to
complete, depending on how much you talk among yourselves.
Built into the Web version is the workshop itself, plus opportunity to:
* see what was said at the live workshop,
* join an associated [temporary] email discussion list,
* opportunity to leave info relating to your 'local' conclusions, which will be anonymised and built into the Web
workshop for the help of others who do it later.
I intend to make this workshop available into the Spring and possibly beyond, but the email discussion will close at
the end of February 1999. I hope by then to have accumulated sufficient outcomes from the session, and enough issues
for discussion, to be able to write up the work for our mutual benefit.
So please, give it a go - please contribute your comments and local conclusions - and I hope you will find it useful.
You might even think of it as a post-Christmas treat! (Well, maybe not!!)
