Learning and Teaching Conference 2013 Call for Session Proposals

Submission Information

Introduction

If you would like to make a presentation at the event please send a session proposal (up to 200 words) including:

‘The economic, political and environmental pressures upon Higher Education Institutions have placed the issue of graduate employability centre stage...yet the key challenge to those working in this area remains: how can we best integrate and balance different ways of teaching and learning that promote both effective learning and employability for students? (HEA*, 2012).

Set against this renewed focus on employability, the focus of this one-day swap-shop is to highlight best practice in the enhancement and embedding of employability and enterprise within indicative areas such as learning and teaching, course and module design, problem-based learning, education for sustainable development, work placement, workbased learning, employer engagement, research and consultancy, and assessment. The aim is to showcase a range of practical examples and individual sessions will be limited to a maximum of 15 minutes.

- Title - Names and affiliations of authors (with contact email addresses) - Session outline - contributors are asked to clearly indicate what elements of their current practice they will be ‘swapping’ Session proposals are invited from colleagues within the following subject areas: Business and Management, Tourism, Sport, Geography, Adventure Education, Physical Education, Theology, Music, English, Media Studies, History, Maths, Performing Arts, Dance, Fine Art, Social Work, Psychology, Childhood Studies, and Teacher Education.
