They are: 1) Access to Art (a2a) a community /university project which has brought together university students, staff and adults with learning difficulties to develop an innovative and successful visual arts course whose work has been exhibited at Tate Modern. 2) Visual assessment practices The above work has also contributed to a wider project, jointly funded by the LearnHigher CETL and the HEA Subject Centre for Art Design Media, to explore the use of visual assessment practices in different disciplines. Themes for discussion in this seminar include the very positive impact on all students of adopting more creative and inclusive approaches to assessment design; the importance of articulating tacit expectations, particularly when unfamiliar assessment formats are adopted; ways to improve access to and participation within HE for students with learning difficulties; the ethical, technical and methodological issues that arise from researching non-verbal aspects of student learning. There are 30 free-of-charge places available for this seminar, and these will be allocated on a strictly first-come-first served basis. You should await confirmation of a place before attending.
