Dear Jason and other SEDA colleagues You may also be interested in the NACADA International Conference that we are hosting at the University of Sheffield 10-13 July 2017, which will provide an opportunity to share with and learn from colleagues from many other countries. NACADA is a global community for advising and tutoring, to which UKAT is allied. Further information about the International Conference is available here - http://www.nacada.ksu.edu/Events/International-Conferences/Sheffield.aspx. Unfortunately, I am also unable to attend your meeting but would be happy to speak with you about the work we have done here at Sheffield. We recently hosted a meeting with other UKAT members to share information on how we have implemented a revised policy on personal tutoring, and also provided a demonstration of our new online personal tutoring system.
