Hello all,

The next meeting of the Jisc Learning and Teaching Practice Experts Group will be taking place on
Wednesday 15th October from 10:30 – 16:00 at Maple
House in Birmingham.
We are delighted to say that this will be the 33rd meeting of this valued group. The agenda for the meeting together with the online booking form is now available from:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearningpedagogy/elearningexperts/oct14.aspx
As always we have an exciting and packed agenda. We will be starting the meeting with a discussion of the findings from an initial ‘landscape review’ of
Electronic Management of Assessment activity across UK HE and FE led by Gill Ferrell and Lisa Gray. The session will provide an opportunity for participants to engage with the findings, add to, refine and prioritise the challenges identified as well
as exploring actionable insights to take forward in the next phase of work. See
http://ema.jiscinvolve.org/wp/ for further details about this project.
This session will be followed by an update from Rhona Sharpe and Metaxia Pavlakou, on the
FE Digital Student project. The group will receive an update on the findings from an initial review of the literature and will be encouraged to compare the findings with their own knowledge and experiences. There will be opportunities after the session
for group members to feed findings from their own local evaluations into the review. Further information on this project is available from
http://digitalstudent.jiscinvolve.org/wp/fe-and-skills-digital-student-study/
After lunch members will have the opportunity of selecting one of three sessions to contribute to around new Jisc work in the areas of
Effective Learning Analytics, Building digital capability and Scaling up online learning.
We will end the day with our excellent Members Showcase
sessions highlighting innovative work which members are undertaking. The session will run as three 25 minute roundtable discussions run twice, offering members the opportunity of attending two of the three sessions. We are looking forward to three excellent

Session 1: Thinking Beyond Me-Portfolios - Shane Sutherland, Pebble Learning and David Eddy, Sheffield Hallam University

Session 3: DISCOVER: Digital Inclusion Skills for Carers bringing Opportunities, Value and Excellence -
