Following last year's successful conference
on the JISC Information Environment,
the PA/ ALPSP/JISC 'PALS' group, is pleased to
announce this year's conference.
Innovations in Online Learning and Teaching:
Challenges and Opportunities for
Publishers
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists,
London NW1.
Friday 27th June 2003
As universities and colleges extend their use of online
content to support
teaching and learning there will be substantial changes in
their
requirements for externally-sourced content - and new opportunities
for
publishers to supply some of that content. This timely conference offers
a
forum for publishers, academics and librarians to keep up to date with
new
innovations in online learning and teaching, and to debate
which
developments will be strategically important in the future.
Dr
Gilly Salmon, the well-known pioneer on e-learning from the Open
University
Business School will provide a visionary start to the day, with
knowledge
business consultant Liz Horne bringing us up to date on current
developments
in HE, FE, and with publishers. We will then hear case studies
from Glasgow
and Coventry Universities, where online learning is now well
established, and
look at what role third party content might have in
these
initiatives.
The afternoon session will focus on the practical
issues involved in
implementing e-learning, with Chistoph Chesher from Taylor
& Francis and
Alun Hughes from the University of Highlands and Islands
Millennium
Institute looking at the challenges from the publisher and HEI
perspective.
