SUMMARY:Call for symposium contributions "The 9-5 student? Rethinking the concept of studenthood"
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will take place on Friday\, 23 May at MTU’s Bishopstown campus. We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations engaging with any of thematic strands outlined below. \nProposals should be of approximately 250 words\, and can be submitted via our submission form until Monday\, 5 May. \nWe also very much welcome interested colleagues to register as attendees by Thursday\, 15 May. \nSymposium outline:\nBoth anecdote and recent media comment would suggest that the nature and practice of studenthood is evolving rapidly. With students increasingly likely to devote significant time to employment and less than academics might envision to study and related tasks\, the time is apt for academics and for institutions to rethink the design and practice of Higher Education learning. This symposium aims to investigate the contextual factors that are actively reshaping the practice of studenthood\, with a view to exploring conceptual gaps between academics’ and students’ expectations of its enactment. We are particularly interested in socio-cultural and other situational factors influencing the changing nature and experience of studenthood. \nRelevant themes can include but are not limited to:\n• individualisation and personalisation;\n• the influence of ed tech;\n• proprietary AI\, especially GenAI;\n• time as organising principle;\n• learner incentives and rationales for embarking on HE study;\n• learner incentives and rationales for attending and engaging post-enrolment;\n• commuting\, cost of living\, and socio-economic factors;\n• access and progression;\n• political economy of HE;\n• cultural\, socio-cultural and (trans-)media(l) climate;\n• space and geographies of HE;\n• sustainability in and of HE study; and\n• any other relevant contextual influence on the nature and practice of\nstudenthood today. \nThe symposium organisers\, Marian Hurley and Deirdre Casey\, welcome queries\, and can be contacted at Marian.Hurley@mtu.ie and/or MarieD.Casey@mtu.ie. \nThis symposium is part of the project “Space + [time x practices] = engagement?”\, funded through SATLE – the Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement Funding in Higher Education – by the Higher Education Authority’s National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.

SUMMARY:Galway Symposium 2025: "Preparing Students for a Challenging World: education for sustainable development and the socio-emotional domain"
DESCRIPTION:We come to Higher Education(HE) with our own unique ways of being\, doing\, learning and teaching that are usually shaped by our own backgrounds\, experiences\, and research disciplines. Although the interconnected global challenges facing students highlight the need for us to teach to the socio-emotional learning domain\, we are often not equipped to embed the affective dimensions of learning into our teaching practices. \nIn bringing together experts in the fields of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)\, student well-being\, and sustainability\, this conference opens a space for learning and discussion on the socio-emotional domain and the competencies necessary for an inclusive and empowered future for both students and staff in Higher Education. \nWe will begin the day with two keynote speakers: Dr. Paul Vare\, University of Gloucestershire\, Chair of National Association for Environmental Education\, UK and Professor Bridgette Bewick\, School of Medicine\, University of Leeds\, UK. The keynote addresses will be followed by workshops facilitated by University of Galway staff and visiting academics on the themes of futures thinking and affect\, competence development\, and pedagogies of care. \nLocation: University of Galway\, Áras Moyola \nDate: 12 June 2025 Time:10AM-4.30PM\, registration opens at 9.30AM \nFacilitated by: The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) \nRegistration Link: https://lnkd.in/gWyB4B-3

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
