IMPROVING STUDENT LEARNING FOR THE 21st CENTURY LEARNER
17th Improving Student Learning Symposium hosted by the Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development (OCSLD)
7-9 September 2009, Imperial College, London
CALL FOR PAPERS
We hope that the theme for this symposium - 'for the 21st Century Learner' - will challenge contributors to consider the rapidly changing landscape of university education - technology, massification, increased diversity of students and globalisation etc.
Please submit your paper proposal online at http://www.brookes.ac.uk/services/ocsld/isl/isl2009/callforpapers.html. The closing date for submissions is 28 February 2009, and authors will be notified by the end of March whether their paper has been selected for presentation.
Improving Student Learning symposium (ISL) is supported by the Higher Education Academy.

Screen-Capture Video & Self-Assessment Workshop on the Local Production of Effective Learning Resources
18th March 2009, University of the West of England
This workshop is being conducted as part of the Royal Society of Chemistry ‘Chemistry For Our Future’ project and being organised by Graham Currell and Dilys Thornton of the University of the West of England.
It is now possible, with very little effort and practice, to produce effective video-based learning materials that are extremely well received by the students. These can vary from little more than a video ‘email’ to a more sophisticated interactive learning package.
The fact that these materials can be produced quickly in-house can permit the development of many small learning objects, some of which could evolve to be extremely useful in building support (as per Lego) for learning in other institutions. It is also possible to produce these videos in a core format which can then be further edited by a recipient university to produce a locally customised version.
The aims of this workshop are to develop skills and consider mechanisms by which such locally produced learning objects can be shared more widely.

Edikt2009: Using Computing in your Research
29th April, 2009 09:30 - 17:00
WestPark Conference Centre, Dundee
Following the successful edikt2008 symposium, this year's event will bring together Scottish researchers who make heavy use of computer simulations, models or analysis to do research, allowing them to swap ideas and see how other scientists use the resources to maximum benefit. There is no similar activity in Scotland.
The day will be arranged into four sessions covering a wide range of computational research; including cell biology, computational chemistry, brain imaging and bioinformatics.
A poster session will also be held in the coffee and lunch breaks.
The symposium is free of charge and lunch is provided. Please register your interest by emailing Jon Hill (j.hill@ epcc.ed.ac.uk).
For more information on the edikt2 project or the symposium, please see the webpage (http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/research/activities/edikt/) or contact Jon Hill (j.hill@ epcc.ed.ac.uk).
