Call for Abstracts

The Fifth Annual University of Glasgow Learning and Teaching Conference will take place on Tuesday 17th April 2012. The conference is open to all members of the University community with an interest in teaching and learning, and also to a number of external contributors and participants this year. 

The conference is entitled "Empowering Student Learners in Higher Education" and will focus particularly on the following themes:

1. Supporting success with student diversity

2. Feedback and assessment

3. Developing graduate attributes

4. Enhancing the curriculum

5. Learning transitions

6. Using technology to support learning

7. Interdisciplinary learning 

 

Call for abstracts:

The conference will offer presentations (30 minutes) and interactive workshops (60 minutes). I invite you, therefore, to submit abstracts for presentations and workshops using the online tool at:

http://www.gla.ac.uk/learn/events/annuallearningandteachingconference/. 

All abstracts should relate to the conference title and should address at least one of the above themes, and will be selected on the basis of the following criteria:

* breadth of interest to the community

* links to the University's Learning and Teaching Strategy [not for external contributions] 

Please submit your abstracts by 30th November 2011. As with the 2011 conference, successful abstracts will be published in the Proceedings in booklet and online formats. 

Registration:

Registration will open early in the new year, when the full programme will be announced. Full details will also be published on the website.

Building on the success of the 2011 conference, I look forward to your participation in what I am sure will prove to be, once again, a lively and engaging event. 

If you have any questions about the conference, please contact Fiona Bell: Fiona.Bell@glasgow.ac.uk / telephone 0141 330 2321
