Hi Simon,

I noticed the archive of public/open lectures. It looks very good and it made me think what a collection it might make if all Ed. Dev. units did the same. Do any other units make their lectures openly available as a set like this? If so, perhaps SEDA/HEA/JISC or someone might bring them together as a collection? 

I could imagine this list running a kind of 'book club' spot each month. We could have a video-lecture of the month for this community to view and discuss. 

Best Wishes,

Nick

Dear Colleagues, a gentle reminder that Nick Hillman (HEPI) will deliver a public lecture tomorrow (Wed 23rd Nov 5-6pm) entitled "Is the TEF a good idea and will it work?" at the University of Greenwich, 10 Stockwell St, London SE10 9BD: Room 11-0004. The event is free to attend.No registration required.

Abstract: The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) has generated much debate with contrasting views as to the benefits or drawbacks of the initiative.  For some, it provides the potential to redress gaps between teaching and research esteem and the impact on the quality of UK university teaching. For others, it risks undermining the independence of universities and encouraging perverse incentives. This talk will examine the origins of the TEF and consider the evidence for its existence. It will question whether, in its current form, it is likely to produce the sort of hoped for outcomes for university staff and students.
