We also run an events listing page. Remember, you can also submit details about your event and we can advertise it on Teaching Matters. Every month Teaching Matters takes a theme and explores it through a number of blog contributions over the month. The focus for March is Peer Learning. Mar 1, 2017
The Festival of Creative Learning , now entering its second year, is a year-long series of events exploring creative learning and innovation at the University of Edinburgh. Your event may involve performing, painting, crafting, writing, dyeing, baking, playing, escaping, debating, combining these, or something else entirely.
Moreover, presentations are often one-off, high-stakes components of, for example, a final-year project, for which feedback, coming after the event, is useless. I redesigned the “skills” component (15%) of Honours Analysis, a 20-credit course for third-year mathematics students, to develop presentation skills.
I call this an enabler event because it gets students to think about the importance of their health and wellbeing, using a range of fun recreational activities. Support services in the University also take part in this event. Any member of School staff can nominate a student and nominations can be made all year.
As part of this, MyDevelopmentHub was launched in 2017/18 and continues as an important online signposting tool for students interested in any aspect of their development – personal, professional, or academic – improving access to relevant activities, events, and resources.
To add to the workload, we organised further events – seminars, lectures and, in one case, a book launch – around the visits. For starters, it involves a lot of admin: sending invitations, settling dates, booking hotels and cafes, and bugging guests to book their travel and send in papers on time.
Besides, starting your own company is just one way of turning creative thinking into economic impact – some students might become innovators in large companies, some might work in IP law, some could run venture capital funds and a small percentage may become academics.
With enrollment numbers dropping and student demographics evolving, corporate partnerships offer an opportunity to align academic programs with workforce needs , creating a win-win-win scenario for students, employers, and universities. A lot of times we see there’s life-changing events or death in the family.
