It was evident through conversations with educators and learners that there are diverse perspectives on assessment in terms of its role\, value and approach across the sector. This resource aims to bridge the perceived gap through sharing examples and resources on the process and product of assessment. It focusses on the three critical elements of assessment identified in discussions: workload\, groups\, and feedback. \nProf Susan Deeley will deliver a keynote address on the balancing act that is assessment from the perspective of the students and the educators. Following this\, there will be an overview of the resource with an opportunity for participants to engage with\, and comment on it. The event will conclude with a plenary Q&A \nFocus of the event \n\nSharing and valuing ongoing teaching and learning enhancement work\nLeveraging partnerships between those who teach and their students\, as well as the wider educational community\, to foster collective advocacy in strengthening the value placed on teaching and learning\n\nClick here to register URL:https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/event/launch-interactive-output-from-reimagining-assessment-community-of-practice/ LOCATION:University of Limerick\, Ireland CATEGORIES:VIT&L Week ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/wp-content/uploads/in-university-limerick-07f235da250f7e91b92e6854ac42fdfa.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Mary Fitzpatrick":MAILTO:mary.fitzpatrick@ul.ie GEO:52.6685569;-8.5744815 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20211111T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20211111T150000 DTSTAMP:20260531T054149 CREATED:20211013T122102Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211021T131414Z UID:46789-1636639200-1636642800@www.teachingandlearning.ie SUMMARY:Developing a Best Practice Framework for Engaging External Practitioners and Tutors (online event) DESCRIPTION:Challenges exist in engaging external/practitioner tutors to teach in HEIs\, i.e. those experienced industry or professional services experts who are contracted by the HEI\, to deliver modules\, particularly on professional education programmes. \nThe BLASST framework (Harvey\, 2014) is a set of national (Australian) benchmarking standards to systematise good practice for learning and teaching with part-time or sessional staff. The framework presents broad criteria and standards for evaluating current practices affecting these staff. \nThis online presentation will discuss the REAP project’s experience of evaluating\, adapting and applying the BLASST framework to a local Irish context as a tool for evaluation of current practice and guiding plans to work towards best practice in the engagement of external/practitioner tutors. \nThe REAP project is a collaboration between UL\, MIC & LIT funded by the HEA Innovation and Transformation 2018 call\, to develop a best practice framework for engaging practitioner/external tutors. \nFocus of the event \n\nConsidering how the relational\, structural\, practical or policy aspects of teaching and learning can be valued\, supported and recognised\n\nClick here to register URL:https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/event/developing-a-best-practice-framework-for-engaging-external-practitioner-tutors/ LOCATION:University of Limerick\, Ireland CATEGORIES:VIT&L Week ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/wp-content/uploads/in-university-limerick-07f235da250f7e91b92e6854ac42fdfa.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Greg Larkin":MAILTO:greg.larkin@ul.ie GEO:52.6685569;-8.5744815 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20211109T140000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20211109T150000 DTSTAMP:20260531T054149 CREATED:20211013T121922Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211020T120914Z UID:46786-1636466400-1636470000@www.teachingandlearning.ie SUMMARY:IPE @ SAH: Looking Back to Step Forward DESCRIPTION:The School of Allied Health (SAH)\, UL has received awards for the Disciplinary Excellence in Learning\, Teaching and Assessment approach to Interprofessional Education (IPE). As national IPE leaders\, we will showcase our teaching and learning through our reflection of developing an interprofessional curriculum.   The pivotal event of this showcase will be an expert-led IPE training workshop.  It will focus on the development of faculty capacity to sustain and enhance the existing IPE curricular activities and to lead on the development of a community of practice across health sciences faculty. \nBy the end of the interactive workshop participants will: \n\ndevelop a plan and the materials for mixed group facilitation training;\nexchange knowledge\, experiences and ideas about the sustainability of quality interprofessional experiences;\ndevelop an awareness of the qualities and traits of confident facilitators.\n\nThis keynote event will be supported by a number of sessions offered by SAH staff and students. \nFocus of the event \n\nStrategic institutional discussions about the place of teaching and learning within local policy and decision-making and how the value of teaching and learning can be strengthened\nSharing and valuing ongoing teaching and learning enhancement work\nConsidering how the relational\, structural\, practical or policy aspects of teaching and learning can be valued\, supported and recognised URL:https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/event/ipe-sah-looking-back-to-step-forward/ LOCATION:University of Limerick\, Ireland CATEGORIES:VIT&L Week ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.teachingandlearning.ie/wp-content/uploads/in-university-limerick-07f235da250f7e91b92e6854ac42fdfa.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Anne Griffin":MAILTO:anne.griffin@ul.ie GEO:52.6685569;-8.5744815 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20211111T150000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20211111T160000 DTSTAMP:20260531T054149 CREATED:20211013T121629Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211021T125238Z UID:46783-1636642800-1636646400@www.teachingandlearning.ie SUMMARY:Valuing and enhancing the teaching of external practitioner tutors in HEIs (online event) DESCRIPTION:Specific challenges exist in developing the essential skills of external tutors new to teaching and moderating online.
