Bob Farmer kindly sent me the link below to Eric Mazur's lecture

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwslBPj8GgI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

 

The lecture last nearly 80 minutes including questions, but is well worth a look, particularly for anyone looking for statistical evidence that making lectures interactive really works in terms of increased student learning. Of particular interest to me is Eric's comments towards the end that the assessment needs to be changed to drive learning successfully. Science colleagues may also find some of the content of particular interest.

cheers,

Phil

HEA STEM Engineering update May 2012 Sent on behalf of Dr Simon Steiner – Discipline Lead (Engineering) at the Higher Education Academy, covering the engineering and materials communities. I am writing to you further to our monthly Engineering E-Bulletin sent out in mid-May, to update you on the transition of the Engineering Subject Centre website and to bring to your attention some forthcoming events taking place in Scotland but which are open to attendees from across the UK. Latest News The Higher Education Academy (HEA) has announced via a press release the successful recipients of two new annual funding award programmes which will support the development of learning and teaching across UK higher education – the International Scholarship Scheme, and the Doctoral Programme. I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to all the winners of these awards. News The Engineering Subject Centre based at Loughborough closed with effect from 30th April. An archive version of its website now resides at the Higher Education Academy, and can be accessed from the HEA's homepage by clicking the Your Discipline tag to the Engineering discipline homepage, and following the link to the Archive Engineering website under the heading Engineering Resources. Additional links on this webpage give access to the Engineering Education Journal and the ever-popular A5-size Teaching Guide series, as well as easy access to the website for the UK Centre for Materials Education. Events Our New to Teaching workshop takes place at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh on 13/14 June. Some spaces are still available for this free two-day residential workshop which is for academic staff who have been teaching for less than five years and who would like to develop their teaching skills in the context of their own discipline. The event is interdisciplinary, with plenary sessions complemented by discipline streams for engineering, built environment and geography. Note – the workshop is designed to complement your university's own courses provided for all new academic staff. The University of Glasgow is hosting a seminar on Internationalising Graduate Attributes: Building an Inclusive Curriculum on 23 May. The seminar presents the work resulting from the HEA funded Internationalising Graduate Attributes project, which employed 8 students to carry out student-led enquiry-based research into the specific support needs of their international student peers in developing graduate attributes. Travel Grants The HEA's Travel Fund provides financial support to applicants who wish to attend events in the UK in order for attendees to exchange and disseminate good practice in learning, teaching and assessment and to engage with their peers. Please note that from 14 May 2012, applications must be made at least 1 calendar month prior to the event. Keep in touch This Email is sent to you in addition to our monthly E-Bulletin from engineering at the HEA. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me, whether by Email or by phone (07920 273407).

First Steps into Learning & Teaching in Higher Education Begins #fslt12

First Steps into Learning & Teaching in Higher Education Begins #fslt12

via Silence and Voice by Jeffrey Keefer on 5/21/12

I am planning to attend the First Steps into Learning and Teaching in Higher Education massive open online course (mooc) that begins today and runs through June 22. Focused on "new lecturers, people entering higher education teaching from other sectors and postgraduate students who teach," I am hoping to spend some time over the next few weeks on this to help my own online teaching, something I learned quite informally in the early days of online teaching and learning.

Participating in this as a mooc, one that is both structured (it is funded and offers formal university education) while also keeping the best elements of a mooc (open education, constructionist perspectives through leveled expertise, a schedule allowing for us to take what we need and share where we see a need, a workable timeline and realistic level of commitment, and the opportunity to meet new colleagues and learn in community), is what I am hoping to experience.

I am glad that the organizers of this mooc have a central "home" location on the website and via Moodle with an easy to follow schedule, so will begin to check them out later today.

While I have participated in several moocs over the years, I am looking forward to this one as the topic is specific, useful for my professional practice, limited in scope and time, and includes some people (Jenny Mackness and Sylvia Currie) whose work I have long since found valuable and solid and cutting edge and trustworthy. I hope to get and share some ideas and hopefully expand my own network of colleagues.Similar Posts:
