Groupwork, Communications, IT and Learning
A One-day Working Symposium
Friday 25 June, 1999
===============================================================================
Time: 10:30am - 4:30pm
Venue: London Guildhall University,
84 Moorgate,
London EC2
(nearest tube station is Moorgate)
Organised by Educational and Staff Development, London Guildhall University
This is a very exciting time for those who enjoy trying to apply the new
technologies to learning. Sometimes it feels as though the technical
advances are racing ahead of our teaching skills - at other times we can
see opportunities which take our breath away. On a project as large as
this, the higher education community is collaborating in powerful and novel
ways. In Educational and Staff Development at London Guildhall we have been
exploring some crucial areas, and we invite you to join us in a symposium on
our work in progress.
* DeLiberations (on Teaching and Learning in Higher Education)
a website supported by London Guildhall University, to link the four
communities - academics concerned with educational change, librarians,
computer services staff and educational developers.
* BT Learning Fax Project sponsored by BT,
exploring how this more traditional technology could support an
expansion in student group work within a semesterised, modularised,
city centre university.
* Human Communication Issues In Interactive Scholarly Electronic Journals,
a research project sponsored by eLib into how different academic
communities are using new technologies to support their communication
frameworks and networks.
* Peer Support on the Web, sponsored by the Sir John Cass Foundation,
a project to incorporate the very powerful educational principles of
a student mentoring scheme into the University and which has developed
and expanded with the use of voicemail, e-mail and the web.
This event will be a mixture of presentations and working groups to discuss and further develop the issues.
Speakers will include:
- Roderick Floud, Provost of London Guildhall University
- James Wisdom, Head, Educational and Staff Development
- Eddie Ming and David Slater, Editors of DeLiberations
- Graham Alsop and Chris Tompsett, Information Systems Design,
Kingston University
- Jane Howard and Alan Spindler, MA Design for Disability
- Janice Baker and Gary Dillon, Peer Support
- Helen Beetham, recently Head of Information Management, CTI Information
Service, now managing the EFFECTS project at the University of
Plymouth
The cost of the day will be £50 sterling, including morning coffee/tea, lunch
