Details of the
research to be presented:
This session will
present the findings of two interlinked pieces of research which provide
insights into how visual approaches to teaching and assessment can be developed
to benefit students with and without disabilities. 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
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
