SUMMARY:Consultation Open for Upcoming NStEP Strategy
DESCRIPTION:The Steering Group of the National Student Engagement Programme (NStEP) is currently developing a strategy for the future and would like to hear from all those studying or working in Irish higher education. The new strategy will determine how resources are directed and policies are shaped in the area of student engagement over the coming years. \nYour feedback is invited to help to shape and inform the strategic goals and actions of NStEP over the coming years. The consultation can be accessed here. \nNStEP was launched in 2016 to develop a national vision for enhancing and embedding student engagement within higher education. This national programme has brought together staff and students within their own contexts\, with the aim of fostering a culture of meaningful engagement. NStEP provides space for collaboration and capacity building\, for sharing ideas\, and for creating best practice to elevate the student voice and to implement student/staff partnerships. The national partnership of the HEA\, QQI\, and USI aims to champion student partnership at the strategic level and embed meaningful student engagement in future sectoral developments.

SUMMARY:Getting Started with Professional Development – PACT
DESCRIPTION:Launch of Online Open-Access Professional Development Short Course for All Those Who Teach\nThe National Forum’s open-access professional development short course ‘Getting Started with Professional Development – PACT’ is an exciting new opportunity for anyone who teaches in Irish higher education to receive recognition\, in the form of a digital badge\, for their commitment to engagement in professional development. The PACT course is now available fully online through the National Forum’s new VLE platform. \nWhat is involved? \nTo complete the course and gain the nationally-recognised digital badge\, you will need to commit to a total of 25 learner hours\, spread over six weeks. The course will start with a lunchtime webinar at 12.30-1.30 on Wednesday\, 27 March. During this webinar you will meet the facilitators who will outline how the course will be supported over the following six weeks. You will be given activities to complete during the week and every Wednesday between 12.30 and 13:30 a webinar will take place to reflect on the week’s activities and introduce the topics for the following week. \nSome activities will be completed individually but many will require online collaboration with other participants. You will form peer groups to support each other on your journey to achieve the PACT badge. \nThere is no need to worry if you have never used the online tools before\, facilitators will be on hand with tips and support throughout the course. \nThe final webinar will be held on Wednesday\, 8 May\, after which you will complete the course\, in collaboration with your peer group\, and achieve the nationally-recognised digital badge. \nHow can I become a facilitator? \nIf you would like to become a facilitator for this course\, to run it in your own institution\, a further commitment of five learner hours will be required\, in addition to attendance at two extra webinars\, on Thursday\, 18 April and Thursday\, 9 May at 12.30 to 1.30pm. If you have already completed the PACT badge\, you can sign up just to complete the facilitator course. However\, you cannot become a facilitator without first completing the PACT badge. \nHow do I sign up? \nTo register for the upcoming PACT course\, as a participant\, a facilitator\, or both\, please click here. \n  \nImportant Dates: \nIntroduction Webinar 1: 12.30-13.30 on Wednesday\, 27 March \nWebinar 1: 12.30-13.30 on Wednesday\, 3 April \nWebinar 2: 12.30-13.30 on Wednesday\, 10 April \nWebinar 3: 12.30-13.30 on Wednesday\, 17 April \nFacilitator Webinar 1: 12.30-13.30 on Thursday\, 18 April \nWebinar 4: 12.30-13.30 on Wednesday\, 24 April \nWebinar 5: 12.30-13.30 on Wednesday\, 1 May  \nWebinar 6: 12.30-13.30 on Wednesday\, 8 May \nFacilitator Webinar 2: 12.30-13.30 on Thursday\, 9 May
