Higher Education Staff Development Seminar
Workshop Abstract
As a post-conference event, the Teaching and Learning Unit at Southern Cross
University will be offering a one-day staff development seminar for university
teachers. The seminar will focus specifically on the impact of the Web on
teaching and learning in higher education. It is particularly designed for
staff who are relatively new to this technology and wish to learn how the
Web can be integrated into their courses.
The seminar will be held on Wednesday, July 10.
Full day, Wednesday 10 July.
Who should attend
Recent developments in telecommunications-based technologies such as the
World Wide Web have the potential, within the next few years, to contribute
to revolutionary changes in the delivery of university programs. The Open
University in the UK is predicting that by the year 2005 some 95% of
their students will be network connected. These new educational technologies
will also break down the distinction between on-campus and off-campus students
and allow easy local, national and international collaboration between staff
and students.
Whether you lectur internal students in the traditonal manner or are involved
with distance teaching, this one day program will not only show you what
is currently being done in the field of Web-based course delivery and teaching
but it will also give you a glimpse into the likely future of university
teaching and learning.
