To launch the new cross-BU learning research group, a workshop will be held in the new Centre for Excellence in Learning space (PG30a) on Thursday October 2nd, 10am to 12.30pm.
Gail Thomas will talk about the role of the group in CEL. Then, we’ll discuss educational research journals and conferences, funding opportunities and share BU work underway or completed . We’ll have a skype discussion with Professor Alex Kendall who will share her experiences of leading on a REF Education submission and advise us on our approach. Finally, we’ll share ideas and / or plans, with the aim of generating some collaborative approaches.
Please come along if you have learning research to share, are starting out, need advice on getting started or are just interested. To help us book the right amount of tea and coffee, please let Jo Downey know if you are joining us.
There will be no obligation to join the research group or to move UoA.
