<br><font size=3 face="Arial">One of the three outcomes flagged in the
Carrick Grant Proposal:</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"><i>Preparing University Teachers: A model
for national collaboration</i></font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">(submitted mid 2006 by the working party
for the FUT Colloquium network)</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">focuses on the <i>Progression of Scholarship</i>.
Elaboration of this section included the following outcomes:</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Symbol">· </font><font size=3 face="Arial">a
process for benchmarking and peer feedback</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Symbol">· </font><font size=3 face="Arial">common
tools for evaluating the impact of Foundations programs on teaching quality</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">In response to this initiative, and also
to feedback from last years colloquium about requests for a resource table
where programs and materials could be viewed, discussed, shared etc, we
have designed a process to seed into all of these things. ……… It is
something to have a go at, as a first pass and learn from the experience………</font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"><b>Process</b></font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Would you like to hear about other Foundations
and Graduate Certificate or Induction Programs?</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Would you like to talk about the Program
that you offer?</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Would you like some scholarly comment on
some facet of your program?</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Would you be happy to give some scholarly
comment on some facet of another program?</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">If you answered yes to any of these questions
then you may be interested in participating in this session at the Colloquium
this year.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">Below is an <b>Overview of the Process</b>
we are suggesting. Feedback and comments or suggestions are certainly welcome.</font>

concurrent sessions at 3.30-4.30pm on Monday 23 October. This would facilitate
presentations by six programs. (We would like to have at least two Foundations
and two Grad Certs.) If there is more interest, then we have space to run
a second set of three concurrent sessions allowing for another six presentations.</font>

might be useful to include:</font>

<br><font size=3 face="Symbol">· </font><font size=3 face="Arial">what
is unique about this program that makes it the XX University program? (Identity?
Character? Flavour? Experiences?)</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">The session ppt slides and any other relevant
documentation will need to be emailed to the discussant so that they can
prepare for the role on the day. This will need to be by Friday 13 October.
If needed, the discussants could email the presenter(s) if they have further
questions for clarification etc.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"><b>PRESENTATION</b></font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">The presentation would be 10mins followed
by 5 mins (max) questions from the audience. So we suggest around
20 PPT slides or OHTs</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">If there is a particular facet of the program
that you are talking about, that you would like the audience to give
you feedback on at the end of the session, then please put that question
on one of the PPT slides early in the session as a focus question for the
audience. We will include it in a written feedback sheet given to
the audience at the end of the session for you. Other questions for
that sheet will be negotiated later with those involved in presentations
at the session.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"><b>DISCUSSANT ROLE</b></font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">This role will require the person to give
scholarly comment about the facets of the program that the presenter flags
as the focus for feedback. They will have two programs to respond to and
will have 10 mins to speak at the session. This could include their feedback
and seed questions for audience participation and discussion also.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial"><b>FOLLOW UP</b></font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">A written report (maybe a page???) could
be given to the presenter by the discussant on the day of the session or
emailed afterwards.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Arial">After the Colloquium we will ask for feedback
about experiences from presenters, discussants, chairs and audiences.</font>
