Engaging hearts and minds

A showcase of best practice in engaging with academics in the use of technology enhanced learning

We’ve all heard comments like "We put on great courses - and can't fill them!", "Teaching is always going to take second place to research for academics" and "Academics just don't have time to attend our courses". So, how can we reach out to academics and persuade them to devote time and effort to enhancing their teaching through technology? What works? And what is scalable/affordable?

The Academic Support Group of the UCISA Support Services Group would like to invite you to a one-day event showcasing best practice in engaging with academics and other e-learning users in the use of technology enhanced learning (TEL). The event will draw on a set of case studies that will form part of a best practice guide.

Who is this workshop for?
The event will be of benefit to learning technologists, e-learning managers and other staff responsible for encouraging the use of technology-enhanced learning.

Topics covered
The event includes six case studies from the upcoming best practice guide and includes the following topics:

• Developing TEL communities of practice.
• Incorporating TEL into Postgraduate Certificate courses.
• Developing TEL training programmes.
• Providing financial incentives for TEL development.
• New TEL support models.

Twitter
The hashtag for the event is #uctel11.
