Dear Colleagues: My apologies for the inevitable cross-posting. *************** Would you like the possibility of letting other HEIs know of your good practice? Would you be prepared to [anonymously] share a failure to let others know what they might avoid? If so, please read on... *************** Some of you will know that I am running a JISC-funded project known as SCAITS, concerning the embedding of Staff C+IT Skills in HEIs - see http://www.uea.ac.uk/csed/scaits In support of that work I am now seeking examples of good practice and also 'cautionary tales' from across the HE community... in other words I am looking for examples of where an HEI has done something that has really made a difference to getting C+IT skills embedded in part or the whole of the workforce, and also instances where such an effort has gone wrong. So if you can contribute [preferably] 'about a side of A4' worth - saying what you were trying to do, how you approached it, what happened, unexpected benefits or drawbacks, issues arising and so on, then I should be delighted. Where the stories are of success then if included as an illustrative case in the SCAITS write up then I'd be pleased (with your permission - please indicate) to identify the HEI. 'Cautionary tales' would of course remain anonymous, but are also very important. So please, do help both this project and the broader HE community by responding if you have something useful to report. If you have any questions about this request, or about the project in general, do not hesitate to get in touch. Many thanks, Paddy ______________________________________________________ Dr P Anstey Senior Staff Development Officer Centre for Staff and Educational Development University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ, UK Tel: 01603 593777 Fax: 01603 458553 ----------------------------------------------- For details of CSED and our courses see our Web pages at http://www.uea.ac.uk/csed %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
