Each talk is a maximum of 18 minutes, but many are as short as 2 - 5 minutes. The common denominator is that all talks are riveting! Not surprisingly teachers all over the world and in all subjects are using and adapting TED materials for their classes, and TED Ed additionally provides a technology to assist this and make the resulting resources available to all, online.

Presenter: Andy Gray, Teacher Bellerbys, Brighton Theme(s): IT Time: 10.15 – 12.10 Room Number: IT01 (Ground Floor)

Title: Using classroom clickers in History & Politics History and Politics are academic subjects which can be successfully taught using

established and traditional teaching methods. But in recent years the subject has been brought to life through the use of images and video. Classroom clickers are a way to further enhance the learning experience by stimulating discussion and consolidating students' knowledge. Spot tests, quizzes, picture rounds, surveys, mock elections and opinion polls can all be created and used to make the classroom truly interactive. This workshop demonstrates how clickers can be used in History & Politics and discusses ways in which this strengthens learning.

Presenter: Sebastian Baker, John Gardiner & Crispin Julian. Bellerbys, Brighton Theme(s): History Politics

Presenter: Greg Clifford, Advanced Practitioner, Senior Tutor & Teacher, Bellerbys London Theme(s): Law Teaching with Technology Copyright Time: 10.15 - 11.05 Room Number: 1.01/1.02

Title: Preparing for Educational Oversight: The visit from the QAA team (role of the teacher) This session is designed to give teachers very practical guidance on what to

expect from a QAA visit. How should teachers prepare? What questions might be asked and how might they answer them? Do teachers have to know every section of the UK Quality Code inside and out? What if teachers miss out telling the QAA about an exciting initiative during their meeting? What steps can teachers take to help their centre towards a successful outcome? All this and more will be addressed in this session.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SESSION WILL BE REPEATED AT 11.20 Presenter: Adam BiscoeHead of Educational Oversight, QAA Stephen Jackson & Alan Hunt Time: 10.15 - 11.05 Room Number: 1.03/1.04

Title: Getting the Question Right: Issues in Writing Exam Questions

This workshop draws on a programme of research which explored how students think when they attempt an exam question and how features of exam questions affect difficulty and fairness. Such research used insights from literature in psychology and involved analysis of how questions function and how students respond. For those who attended a related session last year, this workshop will recap some of the themes, and allow time for group discussion activities.

Presenter: Victoria Crisp, Senior Research Officer, Cambridge Assessment Victoria Crisp is involved in exploring a range of issues relating to examinations

and assessments. Areas of research and publication have included: factors affecting the difficulty and fairness of exam questions; the effects of answer spaces on student responses; and the effects of the implementation of controlled assessment. Vicki has also been involved in providing training for examiners and assessment professionals on issues in question writing both in the UK and abroad. In 2010 she completed her doctoral research regarding the judgement processes underpinning the marking of projects by teachers.

Title: Increasing the Market Value of Holistic Education through Student and

Academic Support The goal of education is success – a successful course, successful student

comprehension, and successful student progression. Working with students in the 21st century has its own set of new challenges. In the day and age of technology and the internet as an all-encompassing “data dispenser,” the focus on student support, customer service, and face-to-face instruction has come under much scrutiny. Are these services providing anything extra to students beyond what information they can find on their own? One way to increase the market value of a holistic education is by encompassing both student support and instructional support within the classroom. This presentation will explore the relationship between the two and how they can impact instruction, academics, and learning. It will further discuss ways to collaborate with student support services to create a learning community whereby customer service, student support, and instructional support work together to provide a coordinated approach to student success.

Time: 10.15 - 11.05 Room Number: 1.10

Title: Connecting teachers across the HE division - what else can we do to link

Bellerbys and ISC teachers? With the network of ISCs expanding beyond the UK, teaching staff in new centres as well as new recruits in existing HEI centres should, ideally, be able to access the wealth of subject specific knowledge that exists within the organisation. But how can this be achieved amongst such diverse and

partnership specific colleges where the content delivery of programmes are often site specific? In response to the challenge, a project to develop Module Packs for key subjects has been proposed, but what should be the key elements of any subject “handbook” for teachers? What other approaches could be utilised to share knowledge amongst academic staff and help the ISCs and Bellerbys to deepen the learning culture within our organisation? This forum will hope to gather ideas and suggestions from both experienced and newer teachers on how we connect and learn from each other. organisation.

Title: Critical Thinking for Those Accustomed to Rote Memory: What Is in It for EAP Courses? Getting students to use their minds in creative ways in English versus promoting

duplication of what others have already produced should be a purpose for every EAP program. According to Bassham, Irwin, Nardone, & Wallace (2011) “Critical thinking is what a college education is all about. …But it is not the main goal of a college education to teach students what to think. The main goal is to teach students how to think” (p. 1). With this understanding of the purpose of a higher education, there is a direct step to integrating critical thinking into an EAP program. Students are encouraged to use their critical thinking skills in every aspect of learning English but especially in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In each of these settings, they are to identify conclusions and the support for these conclusions, and subsequently, they are to apply their analytical skills to evaluate the validity and strength of these reasons in supporting the stated outcome. What has occurred for many of the students who have been introduced to critical thinking is an understanding that the most important consequence is to be able to express their ideas in English and not to use someone else’s words that may or may say what they intend.

Title: Complex Terminology and Foreign Language Students. New to teaching at Bellerbys? So are we. Many of the subjects we teach involve

complex terminology that foreign students may find difficult to comprehend and then apply/explain. We find this to be particularly true in Science. The aim of this workshop is to share and/or develop any useful teaching strategies or resources to assist our students in more easily coming to terms with these concepts and

the terminology involved. Strategies and resources can be generic or subject specific and will be added to a TOOLKIT for all teachers to share. Teachers from all subject backgrounds are welcome and actively encouraged to take part.

Session 2

11.20 - 12.10 Title: Internationalisation of the Curriculum An open discussion on responses to 'Internationalisation' of the curriculum. The

session will provide space to look at examples of Internationalisation from both our centres and our partner universities. We will discuss good practice, the impact and the potential for enrichment of the curriculum – for tutors and students. Does this say anything about the current content of our modules and our teaching?

Many universities have implemented strategies to include international perspectives and content in the syllabus. How would this work for our course content? Is it more pertinent for particular subjects? e.g. Science, Business Studies, Media, Maths? What are the benefits and are there any drawbacks? How could we involve students in these developments?

Presenter: Katherine Griffiths, Head of ISC, Leeds International Study Centre Time: 11.20 - 12.10 Room Number: 0.04 (Ground Floor)

Title: Peer review with students from the Middle East

Peer review can be an effective form of feedback, but some students do not like it. In particular, students from the Middle East are known to prefer feedback from tutors. This workshop will look at some case studies of Middle Eastern students in order to promote discussions about possible problems and suggest strategies to improve student experiences of peer review.

Presenter: Mary Davis, Senior Lecturer of EAP at Oxford Brookes University Mary Davis leads the Pre-Master's programme. She is undertaking PhD research

Learning & Innovation Award Winner

Title: Learning to Make a Difference

Although much has been written about the aims, purpose and experience of teaching management, there is currently very little written about how teaching styles influence student learning. In this paper I present the finding from a study of University of Liverpool Management School student perceptions of interactive team-teaching. The data is drawn from two sources: (i) assessed student coursework from a final year ULMS management degree module, taught annually by the author since 2004, and; (ii) interview data drawn from one-to-one and group interviews with former students. This research raises interesting questions about the aims and (unintended) outcomes of ‘learning and teaching ‘quality audits’ in UK university management education. Supported by data from further similar research by the author in other UK University business and management schools, the main aim of the presentation is to show how the rise of the ‘quality audit culture’ in recent decades have led to standardized rather than innovative learning and teaching, and passive rather than active, engaged and self-reflexive student learning.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SESSION WILL BE REPEATED AT 13.50 Presenter: Frank Worthington, Senior Lecturer in Management, University of Liverpool Frank’s research interests include behaviour in organisations, cultural

management and change management in organisations. His current research interests include the impact of quality assurance and performance management in higher education on learning and teaching methods and staff motivation, morale and professional working practices.

Title: Learning to Make a Difference Abstract: Although much has been written about the aims, purpose and

experience of teaching management, there is currently very little written about how teaching styles influence student learning. In this paper I present the finding from a study of University of Liverpool Management School student perceptions of interactive team-teaching. The data is drawn from two sources: (i) assessed student coursework from a final year ULMS management degree module, taught annually by the author since 2004, and; (ii) interview data drawn from one-to-one and group interviews with former students. This research raises interesting questions about the aims and (unintended) outcomes of ‘learning and teaching ‘quality audits’ in UK university management education. Supported by data from further similar research by the author in other UK University business and management schools, the main aim of the presentation is to show how the rise of the ‘quality audit culture’ in recent decades have led to standardized rather than innovative learning and teaching, and passive rather than active, engaged and self-reflexive student learning.

Title: Embedding Key Soft Skills into Schemes of Work Inculcating a Study culture of independent learning, problem-solving and critical

thinking is a crucial responsibility for all education practitioners. Besides delivering content to excel in examinations, tutors can embed key soft skills into Schemes of Work. Many of us do this in our daily practice. We design lesson plans to develop the key numeracy, literacy, ICT and communication skills of our students. Whatever our specialisms:- Art, Music, Media, Mathematics, Languages, Sports, Sciences, Humanities, Finance, Business, Economics and Tutorials; different types of soft skills can be embedded into the SOW to prepare students for Higher and Further Education, and ultimately the Workplace. Do come and have a look at what other practitioners are doing. Come and share your own lesson activities and feedback experiences. What other key skills do you think should be incorporated for the digital age of Blended and E-Learning environments? Students nowadays bring smartphones, iPads and tablets to College and it is really vital to exploit this new learning culture in our daily practice. All disciplines are welcome. Generic teaching and learning techniques will be presented and critique at this seminar talk.

Title: MOOCs

Massive Open Online Courses all but dominate current learning technology discourse. Some predict the end of higher education as we know it, others see an opportunity to revitalise teaching and learning. Governments, HE sectors across the world and international agencies have commissioned reports and joined the debate. What lies behind the hype? What does the emerging data tell us? Is there any real pedagogical value that could/should influence more traditional forms of teaching and learning? What is it like to study a MOOC? What impact could MOOCs have on Study Group? Perspectives on these questions will be examined and discussed in this wide-ranging session.

Title: 10% of Students take up 90% of our Time - How do we Handle this Positively? As teachers we all face the prospect of dealing with students who require a

significant investment of time from us in order to reach their potential. Teachers can often inadvertently begin to see these students as exasperating burdens. This doesn’t have to be the case, engaging with these types of students and seeing them achieve despite whatever issues they first faced is often one of the most rewarding experiences a classroom teacher can have. How to help these students achieve and how to see their individual needs not as a burden, but as a chance for us to exercise our pedagogical skills is the subject of this forum. It should provide a space where teachers can share both their experiences and their strategies for dealing with these types of students.
