Dear Colleagues, Further to our email last week, please find attached a draft programme and booking form for the follow-on meeting on 29th June at the Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh which will build upon the initial discussion and formulation of research questions at the meeting held on 22nd April, although this invitation is not confined to those who attended the initial discussion. It will allow participants a substantial opportunity to build upon the areas of research/evaluation interest identified: 1. What is the role of mentoring in PDP? 2. Discipline - specific staff development 3. Revisiting Reflection/ Reflection with a purpose 4. Student engagement 5. What positive attributes have recent graduates (3-5 years after graduation) acquired during their studies that have been of benefit in their employment? At what point do students identify that PDP or career development is important in their studies? What switches them on and why? 6. How do we sell e-Portfolios to students? 7. Assessment, PDP and reflection In addition, time will be allocated for discussion as to the identification of further priorities for the Forum during 2009/10, and the ways in which this work might relate to wider initiatives. So this is your chance to ensure your needs and interests are taken account of, and to relate these to wider institutional and sectoral agendas. If you would like to attend, please could you fill in the attached booking form and return to Amy Marsden at CRA ( [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> ) by Monday 22nd June. A booking form for the other forthcoming, dissemination event on 19th June at West Park Centre, organised by QAA Scotland on behalf of the joint forum, entitled "Enhancing PDP Activities in Institutions through Effective Strategy, Policy and Practice; A Toolkit" will be available very shortly.
