All replies to [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ** Developing and Enhancing Learning Opportunities in Tertiary Education ** (Key speaker: Professor Diana Laurillard) -Collaborative Strategies A Call for Papers (EXTENDED DEADLINE: 24 MARCH 2000) Conference Date: Saturday 3rd June 2000 0930 - 1530 Sir Henry Wood Lecture Theatre, Jordanhill Campus, University of Strathclyde. The University of Strathclyde would like to invite you to participate in a conference, which aims to bring together academic staff and lecturers to share, deepen and extend their knowledge of strategies in managing learning in Tertiary Education and to promote collaboration between institutions. Universities and colleges of further education in Scotland today are juggling with the demands placed on them by increased numbers of students, increased demand for evidence of the quality of the learning they manage and changing conceptions of the purposes of education. In addition they are challenged by technologies that open up opportunities for presenting information and engaging in dialogue with students in new ways. Adopting an orientation towards collaboration is attractive as it combines the sharing of creative and intellectual capital with economies of scale. This conference aims to bring together and promote collaboration between colleagues in this area. The conference will be opened by Professor D. Laurillard of the Open University whose research studies in the evaluation of educational technology and contribution to academic and political debates concerning the future directions of University Education place her in a unique position to identify the opportunities and challenges facing centres of student learning today. A selection of papers will be published including keynote speeches. Themes We are currently calling for papers in the following areas: o technology based course management and delivery; o promoting discourse and participation; o empowering the student and developing independence. Formats Themes may be pursued via: o submitted papers; o poster presentations; o workshops, practicums, case study. Contributions The Steering Committee would welcome a wide array of offers of contribution, in the range of conference themes and in a variety of formats. In addition to formal papers we are particularly interested in proposals for workshops, practical demonstrations, case study discussion etc on any of the conference themes. In making choices amongst offers, the Steering Committee will be seeking a balance of formats to ensure that participants can experience varied forms of interaction within the conference format. All proposals will be considered by the Steering Committee. Venue This one day conference will be held in the Sir Henry Wood Lecture Theatre at Jordanhill Campus.
