University Health and Medical Librarians Group Spring Forum When: Friday 8th March 2019 at the Royal Society of Medicine, London Theme: Literacy in All its Forms: Digital, Academic, Information, Health and more Cost: £80 for those from institutions which are UHMLG members Speaker Spotlight 3: Hannah Bond, PAL Administrator, University of West of England. Peer to Peer Support: How Academic Wellbeing is supported at UWE Bristol This session will explore how Peer Learning aligns with the strategic aims of the Library’s offer and how the involvement of library staff in the training, assessing and quality assuring of PAL harnesses their teaching and learning expertise. Drawing on specific examples from PAL in Health and Social Care Hannah will highlight the techniques and methods used to ‘facilitate’ rather than ‘teach’ and discuss some of the evaluation methods used to measure the impact on the student experience. Helen Webster, Learning Developer and head of the Writing Development Centre, University of Newcastle Academic Literacy: A Contested Concept Is it Academic Literacy, or Academic Literacies? What happened to study skills, anyway? Is it basically about writing good essays? Who teaches it, and why were we never taught it back in the day? With so many competing models of Information Literacy, why isn’t there even a single one for Academic Literacy? And what on earth is Learning Development? This session will explore why Academic Literacy is such a tricky concept, and the main challenges currently facing its practice in Higher Education.
