SUMMARY:Virtual Exchange / Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) – a practical tool for Education for Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:This webinar – led by TU Dublin and supported by the National Forum for Teaching and Learning – seeks to share practical insights into the use of Virtual Exchanges (VE)\, which are also known as Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL). \nMany programmes seek to expand students’ world view and their awareness of global challenges\, however in-person exchanges are expensive and also have a negative impact on carbon emissions. Virtual Exchanges are a useful tool to foster global collaboration and intercultural understanding by connecting students and educators across borders\, promoting critical thinking\, empathy\, and shared problem-solving skills essential for advancing Education for Sustainable Development.  VE also offers an opportunity to link in a meaningful manner with students and Universities in the global south. \nIn this webinar\, academics with years of experience of using Virtual Exchanges will share their experience of organising and delivering virtual exchanges. \nThe webinar will be opened by Dr Brian Gormley\, Head of Sustainability Education in TU Dublin. \nSpeakers will include: \n\nProf Niamh Murphy and Dr Jenny O’Connor\, School of Health Sciences and School of Humanities\, SETU. Their COIL initiative is called TEACH CoLab and it is with the University of Washington in Seattle.\nGeorgina Lawlor\, School of Social Sciences\, Law and Education\, TU Dublin who operates a VE in the module: Advanced Community and Youth Development Practice in collaboration with Langara College\, Vancouver\nUna Carthy\, Faculty of Law and Humanities\, ATU\, who will report on a Virtual Exchange involving Universities in Germany and Spain.\nDr Ciaran O’Carroll\, School of Marketing and Entrepreneurship\, TU Dublin who has initiated a COIL project with An Najah University in the West Bank\, Palestine.\n\nThis initiative has been supported by the National Forum for Teaching and Learning and the SATLE fund.  This event will be recorded. \nYou can find more information and register for this webinar here:  https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/538d1dc4-6695-4a7e-932e-1dc25cbf3164@766317cb-e948-4e5f-8cec-dabc8e2fd5da

SUMMARY:EUA 2026 European Learning & Teaching Forum
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Ongoing developments such as the rise of artificial intelligence\, changing demographics\, labour market demands and learning needs\, as well as larger-scale societal shifts towards a knowledge economy have spurred reflections on how higher education can safeguard its fitness-for-purpose and relevance in the future. These reflections\, in turn\, have repeatedly pointed to a need for more innovative approaches to learning and teaching. This need concerns all aspects of how higher education is delivered\, but the focus of this Forum will be on how staff development can be (re- )designed to facilitate innovation in learning and teaching\, with systemic impact on student learning. \nHow can institutions develop their staff’s capacity to adequately use – and perhaps even themselves develop – innovative pedagogical methods\, resources and tools? Which approaches work to give due support and recognition to early adopters\, and how can their impact be evaluated? Finally\, how can staff be equipped with the agility to adapt to and tackle future educational challenges\, and be encouraged to become innovators themselves? These and other questions will be the focus of the 2026 edition of the European Learning & Teaching Forum. \nThrough a mix of plenary and parallel sessions\, the Forum provides a platform for discussion and exchange of practice on how universities enhance\, innovate and transform learning and teaching. The Forum also presents the work of the 2025 Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Groups. It aims to gather higher education professionals working at different levels on matters of learning and teaching to exchange and discuss institutional practice and policy developments. The Forum is an ideal event for vice-rectors for academic affairs\, deans\, heads of learning and teaching centres\, and management involved in learning and teaching. It also welcomes students\, policy makers and other stakeholders in higher education. \nVisit https://eua.eu/events/eua-events/2026-european-learning-teaching-forum.html[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

As part of our 2025 Teaching & Learning week\, the DCU Teaching Enhancement Unit will host a seminar on Interactive Oral Assessments and their role in facilitating authenticity and sustaining integrity in the age of Gen AI. Danielle Logan Fleming (the pioneer of the IO model) will speak about the future potential of IOs in becoming programmatic anchors across degrees\, ensuring graduate attributes are not only assessed but lived. Colleagues from DCU and a number of other HEIs will share their experiences of designing and implementing IOs within their practice. The seminar is an opportunity for colleagues across institutions to learn about IOs and how they can be implemented across disciplines as well as to gain an understanding of the evolving and innovative assessment landscape. \nPlease register here to receive the Zoom link.

SUMMARY:Commuter Student Experience in Ireland - Guides and Report Launch
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nDuring 2024-2025\, Prof. Liz Thomas (University of York) led a research project exploring commuter students’ experiences and changes for HEIs to consider that would improve their experiences and outcomes.  This project was delivered under the N-TUTORR Student Empowerment program (2022-2025)\, co-led by Dr Carina Ginty (ATU) and Dr Moira Maguire (DKIT) and supported by TUA and the HEA. \n\n\nIt addressed the questions: \n\n\nHow does being a commuter student impact on student experiences and outcomes in higher education institutions in Ireland?\nHow can higher education institutions improve the experience and outcomes of commuter students?\n\n\nIt found that some fundamental changes are required within higher education institutions to engage and support commuter students effectively. All institutions\, however\, are encouraged to implement the quick wins guide as we commence the new academic year. Further guides are available to access below and include: \n\n\n\nBeing a Commuter Student in Ireland\nWhat Commuter Students Want\nQuick Wins Guide for Commuter Students\n\n\nThe Commuter Student Experience in Ireland Report will be launched on October 17th (online) with Prof. Liz Thomas. All are welcome across the sector to join this lunchtime webinar. You can register to attend here[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Meitheal Seminars - Gathering international educational experiences: a mixed 'meitheal' approach.
DESCRIPTION:The seminars\, hosted by the Centre for Pedagogical Innovation and Development (CPID) are part of our Meitheal series. The word “meitheal” is part of ancient Irish tradition. It describes a workgroup or team that gathers and works collaboratively to support each other through a shared purpose. Culturally significant\, the meitheal represents shaping and building communities.” The Meitheal series was devised in collaboration with Colleagues in the TUS Graduate School\, DKIT and SETU.  \nMonday\, 16th\, 2025 Time: 11 am – 1 pm Venue: Moylish Campus  \nTuesday\, 17th\, 2025 Time: 11 am – 1 pm Venue: Athlone Campus  \n  \nVisiting Professor \nProfessor Phillip (Phill) Dawson is Co-Director of the Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) at Deakin University\, Australia. His work focuses on improving assessment while addressing integrity challenges and emerging technologies.  \n  \nSeminar Description  \n“Where is the line? Re-thinking assessment design for a time of artificial intelligence”  \nArtificial intelligence can now generate outputs that meet the requirements of high-stakes assessments in fields like computing\, health professions\, business and engineering. This has sparked concerns about students using AI inappropriately to complete tasks\, misrepresenting their abilities. It also raises deeper questions about the sustainability and authenticity of current assessment practices. Students and staff are justified in asking: where is the line between acceptable and unacceptable uses of AI in assessment? This presentation examines how assessment must evolve in response to AI. It draws on the presenter’s work as one of the leaders of Assessment Reform for a Time of Artificial Intelligence\, a major Australian project funded by the national higher education regulator. As AI becomes an ever-present part of professional and academic life\, how do we design assessments that both uphold integrity and prepare students for this new reality?  \n\nTo register go to CPID Events

With a background in Materials Science Enda is a strong advocate for studio education and the experiential learning it enables. He believes that design led projects allow students to apply science and technology in an iterative process of analysis and synthesis. This allows for projects to be creative and human centred but also applies the scientific and engineering rigour necessary for the design of medical devices. He is keenly interested in the design of new products\, services and business models for the complex ecosystems found in both medical care and the circular economy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nWho Should Attend?\nThis session is open to everyone with an interest in sustainability in higher education\, including educators\, researchers\, institutional leaders\, students\, and all those who support teaching and learning \nRegistration\nRegistration is open at https://hub.teachingandlearning.ie/esd-spotlight-series/ \n\n\nFor enquiries\, email mkelly@hea.ie. \nAbout the ESD Spotlight Series\nThis event is part of the HEA Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Spotlight Series\, featuring contributions from 20 higher education institutions across the Island of Ireland.
