Here is a list of our upcoming events and workshops for 2013:

Designing for Learning Showcase 2013

The Office of the iDVC Education is pleased to announce the inaugural Designing for Learning Showcase which recognises innovations in learning and teaching through blended learning strategies and initiatives.

This one-day, whole-of-university event will take place at Parramatta campus on Friday 29th November 2013. The focus will be on on-campus and off-campus learning experiences, sharing good practices and connecting staff with peers to discuss effective strategies for blended learning and assessment.  An exciting event is being planned with a key note speaker, panel discussions, showcase theme presentations from UWS staff, and a “Learning Fair” over lunch.  All UWS staff and UWS College staff are invited to attend and present at the Showcase event. 

Find out more about the Designing for Learning Showcase, including progam information and registrations.

Blended Learning Forum

Many staff have requested the opportunity to share good practice and practical ideas for implementing blended learning in the curriculum. Monthly Blended Learning Forums have been developed to share ideas across schools .

2013 Learning and Teaching program

The 2013 Learning and Teaching program offers online resources, group sessions (face-to-face, online), forums, showcases, webinars and individual mentoring opportunities. 

Webinars have been scheduled to provide greater flexibility and access to the Learning and Teaching professional development and we hope that sessional staff, in particular, will be able to participate in these sessions.

In the first semester, the Learning and Teaching Program will be iPad infused, however in second semester the sessions on designing and enhancing learning will be more prominent.
