Gina Wisker's book on supervision (https://he.palgrave.com/page/detail/?sf1=barcode&st1=9780230246218) has some relevant content - but maybe there is also scope for us to create such a guide through the proposed SIG?

I think that as an increasing number of learning developers undertake doctoral study this issue will become ever more relevant. I'd suggest that this might work well as a special interest group within the consortium. Perhaps the first thing to do would be to issue an invitation to those who already have doctoral qualifications and wish to put themselves forward as potential externals. Would you be willing to act as the first point of contact for those interested? (My own studies are continuing - but I'll definitely put myself forward once I am doctored!) All the best John -----Original Message----- From: learning development in higher education network [mailto:[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>] On Behalf Of McMorrow, Martin Sent: 27 July 2016 05:13 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: PhD examiners Kia ora colleagues, I was wondering if anyone knows of a list of people who could act as external examiners for PhDs in learning development. Would it be worth our consortium putting together a list? Perhaps it would be too bothersome to keep it updated or people might feel they could just contact people whose publications they've read. Anyway, I'd be happy to collate any suggestions ... partly for my own selfish purposes!
