SUMMARY:Webinar: Developing Enabling Policies for Digital and Open Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Taking place on Thursday 10 June 2021\, this webinar will share developments and invite feedback on the project to develop a new National Forum ‘Guide to Developing Enabling Policies for Digital and Open Teaching & Learning’. \nInstitutional policy-making can\, and should\, engage individuals across the organisation; policy-making is not the remit of senior managers only. This is especially so when the subject of those policies are topics related to digital and open teaching and learning (T&L)\, e.g. Lecture Recording\, Virtual Classrooms\, Assessment\, Open Educational Resources. \nIn this webinar\, as in institutional policy-making\, we would like to encourage as wide a range of people as possible to join the conversation. This might include people who are already involved in developing digital\, open and/or T&L policies\, as well as those who would like to be involved in the consultation or development of such policies\, or policy briefs\, procedures\, guidelines. All higher education staff and students are invited to participate. \nThe new National Forum ‘Guide to Developing Enabling Policies for Digital and Open Teaching & Learning’ is currently being developed\, drawing on wide consultation including workshops that took place across the sector in 2019\, as well as conversations with many individuals who have been developing and updating institutional policies since March 2020\, taking into account the new context of remote/online T&L. \nDuring this webinar\, the National Forum will share key aspects of the proposed guide and invite your feedback on important questions\, including: \n\nWhat key policy areas (in Digital/Open Teaching & Learning) should be addressed in the guide?\nWhat content and tools would you expect to find in the guide\, in order for it to be most useful?\nWho is involved in policy development/consultation at your institution or organisation?\nWhat are the biggest challenges for policy development at your institution or organisation?\n\nWebinar speakers: \n\nCatherine Cronin\, Strategic Education Developer\, National Forum\nChloe Power\, Student Associate Intern\, National Forum\nNiamh Brennan\, Programme Manager for Research Informatics\, Trinity College Dublin\nTony Murphy\, Head of Quality Enhancement and Innovation in Teaching and Learning\, Dublin Business School\nSarah O’Toole\, Educational Developer\, Limerick Institute of Technology\n\nRegistration for this webinar is available here. \nThis webinar is part of the National Forum’s 2021 National Webinar Series.

SUMMARY:That is the Future for the Assessment of Learning through Final Examinations? Part 2
DESCRIPTION:This National Forum webinar\, open to the higher education community\, will focus on assessment and specifically\, alternatives to assessment of learning through final (terminal) examinations. It takes place from 12.30-13.30 on Friday 28 May. \nFor some time\, research analysing assessment in higher education has raised questions about the effectiveness and reliability of traditional final exam-based assessment. The closure of campuses in light of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 led to immediate changes in formative and summative assessment practices in higher education in Ireland\, with the cancellation of on-campus exams. Alternative assessment modes\, most of which were online\, were developed within a matter of weeks. This represented a sudden and critical challenge across the sector\, but it has also opened the opportunity for us collectively to revisit the rationale for\, and purposes of\, final exam-based assessment in our programmes. \nBuilding on the Part 1 on 06 May\, in this webinar we continue a national conversation about the future for the assessment of learning through final examinations. In this webinar\, we share a range of examples showcasing alternative assessments to exams. We will explore the theme of assessment for engagement\, and hear perspectives from students and staff\, senior managers and other stakeholders. We will consider the implications of continuing with final exams\, and in particular online exams which require proctoring. The issues arising from the use of online proctoring will be identified and discussed\, with experiences shared by staff and students who have experienced this mode of assessment. We consider assessment from the perspective of care\, and how the educational landscape post-Covid -19 can effectively address some of the negative experiences of assessment online and offline. The conversations from Part 1 and Part 2 will inform a National Forum Insight later this year. \nThis webinar will be chaired by Dr Áine Ní Shé\, Registrar & Vice President for Academic Affairs\, Munster Technological University – Cork\, and National Forum Board Member. \nSpeakers will be: \n\nIrene Hayden\, Lecturer – Department of Building and Civil Engineering\, Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology\nDr Brendan O’Connell\, Assistant Professor – School of English\, Trinity College Dublin\nDr Lisa Padden\, Project Lead – University for All\, UCD Access & Lifelong Learning\nDr Fiona O’Riordan\, Academic Developer\, & Rob Lowney\, Learning Technologist – Teaching Enhancement Unit\, Dublin City University\nDr Adrienne Fleming\, Department of Science\, School of Science and Computing\, TU Dublin\nStudent speaker to be confirmed\n\nYou can register for this webinar here. \nThis webinar is part of a National Webinar Series taking place throughout 2021.

SUMMARY:Webinar on "The INDEx Survey: A Challenging and Rewarding Journey"
DESCRIPTION:This webinar charts the story behind the planning\, development and implementation of the Irish National Digital Experience (INDEx) Survey. Participants will have an opportunity to engage directly with Ireland’s National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education\, co-ordinators of the survey\, as they share their experiences of this first for Irish higher education. \nThis event is designed for anyone interested in the INDEx Survey process overall\, and particularly for those who may be considering running a similar survey in their own country or education institution. \n24\,484 students and 4\,445 staff who teach at 32 higher education institutions in Ireland completed the INDEx Survey which set out to explore and capture the digital experiences of students and staff who teach\, highlighting what makes a difference to them and providing an evidence base to inform future decision-making and enhancement of teaching and learning in Irish higher education. \nThe survey was a success\, and indeed made possible\, due to focused\, national\, collaborative efforts. In this webinar\, National Forum staff will describe the process of collaboration and partnership behind the INDEx Survey. They will also discuss the narrative behind the results\, conclusions and key learnings that were published earlier this year in the INDEx Survey Findings Report. \nThis event coincides with the recent publication of the National Forum briefing paper on the INDEx Survey process Implementing the Irish National Digital Experience (INDEx) Survey: A Challenging and Rewarding Journey. Attendees are invited to read this briefing paper before attending the webinar (downloadable from https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/publication/implementing-the-irish-national-digital-experience-index-survey-a-challenging-and-rewarding-journey). \nPlease note this event will run from 12.00 to 13.00 hours (Irish time) on Wednesday 25 November 2020. All are welcome to participate. \nClick here to register.
