Subject: London E-learning Reading Group - Thu 6 April
Dear reader
The London E-Learning Reading Group is an informal and entirely unofficial CPD event where we look at texts and discuss our own practices in digital education, sustained by refreshments that we all bring.
This month we’re looking at pedagogic video, production values and cognitive load.
* Why do so many MOOCs rely on expensively produced talking heads?
* What's the evidence this works? What are the alternatives?
* How do you meet the challenge of designing instruction that reduces cognitive load?
Thu April 6th 2017 18.00 – 19.30 at Cass Business School, City University (room tbc).

Kind regards

Subject: Limited open spaces for the Future Happens hack on social media
London School of Economics and the University of the Arts London are presenting Social Media – connect:disconnect - a Future Happens hack that will be held on Friday May 5th from midday to 4.30pm (with the pub to follow for those hearty souls) hosted by the
London School of Economics.
The aim of this hack event is to bring people together to work out how we can collectively change the discourse around social media in higher education and to empower our institutions, our teachers and our students to actively reshape teaching and learning
through and with social media. What are the principles for how education should use social media? What are the challenges, barriers, myths and strongly held beliefs about social media and education and how do smash them, change them, embrace them or ignore
them? How do we embrace what social media can and does do in for our learners, for us, for our institutions and for society as a whole to make our education better?
You are invited to this event to become part of the solution and generate the principles that create a balanced and positive response to social media and higher education. This is not a talk-fest. This is not a place to moan. This is a space for us collectively
to shape the debate in our institutions. This is a chance to hack the solution to our shared problem. And to break bread, pizza slices (and beer) with people who have a shared intention to be a part of the conversation. Join us in re-appropriating and reinvigorating
discourse and practice from the inside and make a very different (hopefully positive) vision of higher education.
We will be providing pizza and refreshments. The event is FREE except for the need for you to actively contribute to the discussion and the solution. You can find out more about the hack, the Future Happens projects and the last hack we ran in 2016 at our
website

There are a VERY LIMITED number of spaces, that will be available on a first come-first-served basis from Wednesday morning 10am GMT at this URL
