HLST Development Day 28 March
I attended this conference (A Pedagogic Research and Development Day) in Bournemouth primarily for the sessions on bidding for HLST funding, However, I also attended 2 keynote sessions (on linking teaching and research, and employability), and several other sessions. I like to try and attend sessions on something new to me:
1. Student project work and how students perceive dissertations (including some interesting new psychology methodology combining concept maps and 'Q-methodology' to describe and analyse student perceptions)
2. Promoting a mastery motivation climate in HE (a presentation involving video recordings of coaching sessions)
3. An Introduction to the BioLab Toolbox (a collection of excellent RLOs on basic biomechanics).
I have full details of the presentations if anyone is interested, and details of a new contact in the South West Lifelong Learning Network.
