[Foundations] 2009 Foundations Colloquium - reminder to sendinsuggestions

[Gail Wilson]

Hi Allan
That is an interesting question and it should be followed up at the Foundations colloquium I think. 
How best to provide opportunities to discuss these issues? I recall a good way of organising groups was the Colloquium at ?? when we first started to focus on the idea of a possible Foundations project - Jan Orrell was present. I recall us sitting at tables with some interesting group discussions - which allowed us all to focus on a topic, not having too many streams. I think the design of these sessions is important. The mood of that particular conference was excellent, as was the one at RMIT in Melbourne, at least for me.

Hi Ann

 

Will the list of suggested topics be put to the list for the members to comment on before decisions are made?

 

I also thought that something of interest is how we are addressing 'graduate attributes' as a topic for discussion in Foundations programs. What is happening with the national projects in this area may be of interest to some members (although some may have attended state based forums sponsored by the national projects).  But at least the discussion with respect to Foundations programs would be useful.

 

Cheers

 

Allan

Dear Colloquium participants and CADAD members,

As you are aware the 2009 Foundations Colloquium will be held in Adelaide at the Stamford Plaza from the afternoon of Tuesday November 3 until lunchtime Thursday November 5.

The Colloquium will provide an opportunity for participants and CADAD members to be presented with the findings of the ALTC funded Preparing Academics for Teaching in Higher Education (PATHE) project on the Tuesday afternoon and will be followed by a day and a half of activities suggested by you. We have received some suggestions for activities but as the deadline is fast approaching we hope to receive more.

Please send us your ideas regarding the topics you would like included in the colloquium so we can ensure it addresses your needs. All suggestions should be sent to Ann Luzeckyj ann.luzeckyj at flinders.edu.au by 22 May 2009.

We look forward to hearing from you,

PATHE Project Committee and Colloquium Organisers 2009,

Margaret Hicks, Heather Smigiel, Gail Wilson, and Ann Luzeckyj
