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

SUMMARY:Webinar: Learning Analytics: What Works?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n \nWebinar Recording \nThis webinar\, which is open to all in Irish higher education\, will explore innovative approaches to harnessing data\, and the growing recognition of its potential to support whole-of-institution strategies for student success. \nPrimarily aimed at Ireland’s higher education teachers and policy-makers/managers\, this interactive online event will discuss what an effective data-enabled student success strategy looks like. It will also explore a range of national and international best practice on dynamic data-led student success initiatives. \nThe speaker line-up includes Linda Hanna who will discuss her experience of implementing a successful institutional learning analytics strategy at the University of Essex. The award-winning use of everyday software to provide personalised feedback to large student groups will be presented by GMIT’s Dr Cormac Quigley. Dr Niamh Nestor and Diane Cashman will explore UCD’s advanced learning analytics initiative. \nThis webinar gives participants an opportunity to share and collaborate with Irish higher education colleagues on how to best use data as an evidence base to highlight opportunities for enhancing student success approaches at an institutional level.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
