Selected References on Teaching and Learning in Higher Education

Colleagues may be interested in five selected bibliographies, which are
available on the Centre for Active Learning web site at the University of
Gloucestershire www.glos.ac.uk/ceal.  Follow the links to a) ‘Resources’; b)
‘Reference Lists’.    

They are on:

Together there are over 600 references listed.  The intention is to update

The University of Western Australia invites you to attend the annual
Teaching and Learning Forum 30-31 January 2007 at UWA.  The TL Forum is a
combined WA universities event.  The theme for the 2007 Teaching and
Learning Forum is Student Engagement. What do we mean by student engagement?
How does student engagement relate to the learning environment we provide
for students? The Forum will provide the opportunity to explore these
questions and what it means for teaching and the student learning
experience.
Keynote speakers are Professor Donald Markwell and Professor Owen Hicks.

Professor Markwell commences as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) at
UWA in February 2007 where he will lead and oversee UWA's academic programs,
focusing strongly on the quality of the student learning experience.
Currently he is Warden of Trinity College, University of Melbourne.

In 2004-5 Professor Hicks worked with Australian Volunteers International as
an education development consultant in Timor-Leste, teaching research
methods and assisting with the development of the Dili Institute of
Technology, a small fledgling tertiary institution. More recently Professor
Hicks has undertaken work for the Carrick Institute.
He is a past President of HERDSA and former director of the Centre for Staff
Development at UWA.
