Workshop - Keynote speaker: Bill Johnston, Assistant Director of the Centre for Academic Practice and Learning Enhancement, University of Strathclyde - Bio Title: 'Mainstreaming the First Year Experience (FYE): Institutional channels and departmental levers.' This session will be managed as an open forum for opinions, experiences, proposals and arguments about how staff can implement/develop ideas to improve the FYE. Focal areas for exploration and discussion can include: - Leadership – institutional and academic
- Co-ordination – departments, teams and individuals
- Educational development – transition designs and staff commitment
- Student dialogue – cool surveys and hot meetings
The basic assumption is that all students should experience a ‘good' first year, irrespective of where they come from, when they enrol, which courses they take, and whatever mode of study they engage with. |
