SALT Themes 2010 / 2011
The Themes for this session were:
Employability
Employability formed one of the major strands at the Excellence in Learning and Teaching Conference in 2011. Chaired by Chris Cardew - seven sessions delivered by Swansea staff covering, amongst other things, enhancing employability and how to balance it successfully with academic rigour.
Resources from the 2011 Excellence in Learning and Teaching conference:
Internationalisation
Internationalisation was the focus of a workshop on 4th April 2011 led by Jude Carroll from Oxford Brookes University. The workshop looked at issues and resources for teaching international students and some of the challenges and strategies that can be used to ensure effective learning.
It was also one of the strands in the Excellence in Learning and Teaching Conference on 17th May, with sessions on pastoral care, using portfolios and teaching in general.
Teaching Large Groups
Paul Latreille led linked sessions on large group teaching and assessment / feedback on 3rd December 2010 and 25th February 2011, looking at a range of successful strategies from both inside and outside the University, including many from his own experience. It also connected to some JISC funded work being carried out across several Schools.
Resources related to these themes are currently being collated.
