Hello Peter Do you know Prof Sue Bloxham? She was with us at University of Cumbria and her associate, Pete Boyd, is still with us. Am not sure if Sue is abroad currently. Couple of links below to work that Sue produced/was involved with. http://www.mcgraw-hill.co.uk/html/0335221076.html http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/detail/subjects/escalate/4148_Guide_to_assessment If you wanted to know more about availability of Sue and/or Pete for these sessions could find out details if that would help.

Not nearly as student centred as Sandra I'm afraid, but I have been working on something to link LD to learning to teach for our medical students. Medical graduates have to be able to teach others, so I have developed a model that builds from personal LD, to how others learn to teaching others. Students can capture formal and informal learning and teaching opportunities and I hope to work with students on ways of doing this, trying to strike a balance between making it available without being onerous in an already packed course. It's a model that would work for other healthcare students. Will you be at the conference? If so do say hello Regards Janette I work Mon-Thur at St George's Dr Janette Myers SFHEA Senior Lecturer in Student Learning and Support, Insititute of Medical and Biomedical Education, 6th floor Hunter Wing, St George's, University of London Cranmer Terrace London SW17 0RE 020 8725 0616 On 05/03/2014 17:14, Sandra Sinfield wrote: Dear Ruth, A big WELCOME!! We have several schemes for facilitating this sort of engagement here at London Met - and a few ideas that I would like to see happen (!) - and so will share them anyway: * As with other institutions, we have Peer Mentor and Peer Writing Mentor programmes to help students engage with students and the learning process... * We support a student team to organise and deliver our annual student-facing Conference Get Ahead: http://learning.londonmet.ac.uk/epacks/get_ahead_conf/ And interestingly - this year the organising Team were second year Events Management students - who learned a lot from this run - and who now want very much to build on what they gained by running next year's Conference - but starting from the very beginning of the academic year with pre-conference events for staff and students. Of course if this is to really succeed, staff must 'buy in' to the event as well; putting such events in course calendars and actively promoting student engagement with the activity. * What we would like is that staff allow conference participation to count as one assessment on a module - and now that we have year long modules again - it could be that we persuade some to make that happen * We have built student voices into our Study Hub website: http://learning.londonmet.ac.uk/epacks/studyhub/ Follow the orange links on the left hand side of the page * We are trying to persuade staff to offer the 'design a teaching and learning resource' as an alternative assessment in modules - and then to use these resources for the future teaching of the course... all the best, Sandra On 4 March 2014 13:31, Ruth Allen <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Hello All, I am new to the network - in as much as I haven't posted before, but do read avidly in the sidelines, so hello! :) I am currently thinking about the ways in which we, as learning advisers (but broadly as institutions), can encourage students to engage as partners in their academic development (or shall we say the skills and competencies needed to achieve deeper learning of their subject) and I would really value hearing about any great ideas you have in your hubs? Of course I am familiar with many of the seminal texts around the value (or not) of Study Skills as a model, but I am very keen to hear about the very pragmatic steps we can take to improve engagement in this area. How far can reflecting on your learning bring about a deeper engagement? Has there been success in your experience in engaging students with content, structure and delivery of 'study skills' type provision either stand-alone or embedded in the curriculum?
