Dear all,

In conjunction with the HEA STEM (Computing) I am running a workshop on Learning Technologies here at Hull, and one of the themes is technology such as WebPA.
This is open to colleagues across any discipline,  so you may like to consider submitting and/or attending the workshop.

Also, as we have not had a WebPA SiG for a while, it seems timely to look at organising one in the New Year.  We could coordinate this with the workshop, with a short SiG immediately after the workshop (say 4pm to 5:30pm), or on one of the days either side of this. Email me direct ([log in to unmask]) with views and ideas, and I’ll collate these and send out a suggestion or set up a poll on when/where to schedule the next SIG.

Regards

Neil

HEA STEM Computing Workshop: Learning Technologies 2013

Join in our Workshop

In collaboration with the Higher Education Academy STEM (Computing), this one day workshop for, and by,

Computer Science practitioners and other educators will take place at the University of Hull on Wednesday 26^th March 2013:

http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/events/detail/2014/26_March_Computing_Hull

We welcome contributions on the following sub-themes

- Innovative approaches to teaching and assessing large classes (use of social technologies and peer assessment, such as WebPA);

- Giving effective feedback (possibly through peer feedback and assessment);

- Encouraging and enabling peer mentoring through social media;

- The impact of social media on teaching and learning

Other examples of applying technology to teaching, learning and assessment in computer science and other disciplines are also appreciated.

This event continues the sequence of successful workshops held at Greenwich, under the general theme of learning technologies, with a special focus on social computing and learning, but is open to wider Learning Technologies in Computing and beyond.

Participation in the workshop is open to all interested parties by registering for the workshop via the HEA web site
