Conferences: SEDA Spring Teaching, Learning and Assessment Conference 2009

Underpinning Academic Practice with Research and Scholarship


7-8 May 2009
The Thistle Hotel, Brighton

 

This SEDA conference aims to reflect the rich variety of approaches to researching learning, teaching and assessment initiatives and aims to share experiences of creating and developing scholarly communities. In 1999 SEDA ran a successful spring conference entitled ‘Research and Practice in Educational Development(s): exploring the links ’. Ten years on the theme remains even more relevant in a sector which demands change and an evidence base and analysis of impact. The last decade has seen the development of new approaches to research, scholarship and evaluation, new conceptions of what it means to teach and learn and facilitate change in 21st century further and higher education and new ways in which research can inform our practice.

The conference will seek to address the following themes:
