Many colleagues have used our ‘HEA Fellowships-on-one-page’ handout, which is best printed out A3 in colour when working on your applications for Associate Fellowship, Fellowship, Senior Fellowship and Principal Fellowship.

Sally and I have now revised the grid to incorporate updates from the HEA, and would recommend that you use this version rather than the earlier versions. grid-2015-w.docx (2701 downloads) Note that the ‘2015’ column is current information from the HEA website, which supersedes the job descriptions still present in the 2011 UKPSF document.

We are also pleased to provide the main slides UKPSF-recognition-slides-2015-w.pptx (2304 downloads) we currently use at workshops assisting people to draft their applications, with slides with black headings drawing from resources from the HEA, and those with purple headings consisting of our own thoughts and some we’ve gathered from other sources.

We are happy for both these downloads to be used as Open Educational Resources (Phil Race and Sally Brown)

Here are the main slides I used, and some I did not use, relating to applying to the HEA online for the ‘experience’ route towards Senior and Principal Fellowships. The slides are password-protected, using the word you suggested. UWE 14th January (749 downloads) The slides were devised using materials from the HEA website, and from other things we gathered from a number of sources. We haven’t yet made it clear which are our advice and which are ‘official’, but when we’ve finished putting together a working set of slides, we’ll both publish it on our websites.

You were a great group to work with, and well done for completing significant elements of your respective applications. The sooner you finish off the task, the better it will be (while you still recall all the discussions we had). I wish you all the best for now pressing on to get your award – you’re fortunate in the institutional support you have (not least the fee).

Here are the main slides I used in our two sessions. Thanks for being such a great audience. I hope to see you again before long. Manchester morning (629 downloads) , Manchester: afternoon (609 downloads)

Here are the main slides I used in my workshop with you this morning, and a paper I wrote on linking engagement to the factors underpinning successful learning. I really enjoyed working with you all. (But sadly my train to Newcastle is being terminated at Birmingham!!) Oxford Brookes Engagement (570 downloads) . Getting Students Engaged paper (588 downloads)

Here are the main slides I used, minus the pictures and links, and not always in the order in which I used them Central College Nottingham (563 downloads) . I’ve inserted the QAA B6 slides too. Here also is the great 2004 paper by Geoff Scott on institutional change Geoff Scott's Paper (410 downloads) . I’ve also added a paper on ‘Getting Students Engaged’ Getting Students Engaged paper (588 downloads) .

Please use the ‘search’ function at the right hand side of the website using ‘joughin’ to get to Gordon Joughin’s booklet about oral assessment, and ‘NUS’ to get to their benchmarking tool for assessment and feedback, and ‘observation’ to get to my peer observation booklet. Thanks to Simon for lift to the station, where I just caught a train to Chesterfield then onward to Newcastle. You were a great group to work with – hope to see you again.

Great working with you all today. Here are the  main slides.   RVC keynote (584 downloads)    RVC workshop (544 downloads) Please use the ‘search’ function at the rhs of the site to find ‘Joughin’ for the booklet on oral assessment, and NUS for the benchmarking tool. Wishing you all the best for the Festive Season, and hoping to return to RVC one day.

Small-group learning is really important for students, but often gets eclipsed in the literature by the more ‘public’ aspect of large-group lectures. I’ve written lots about both, in the ‘Lecturer’s Toolkit’ (2006 and 2015) and in ‘Making Learning Happen’ (2014). I often use Chapter 4 of the Toolkit as a handout in my workshops on small-group learning, and this particular chapter remains largely unchanged in the 2015 edition, so I am putting the Chapter up as a download here small-group-handout-toolkit.docx (3391 downloads) , not least as a response to Twitter requests for help regarding small-group teaching. I hope you find it useful.

Here are the main slides I used in our two workshops today, and the checklist for students to indicate how they use learning outcomes.   Learning outcomes Durham (634 downloads)   Towards assessment as learning (580 downloads) Learning outcomes checklist (691 downloads) You were a great group to work with, thanks for making me so welcome. Thanks specially to Sam for picking me up and delivering me back to Durham station – where I walked straight onto the train bearing Sally back from London.

Great working with you today. Here are the main slides I used Northumbria slides (582 downloads) and Chapter 3 from ‘How to get a good degree’ from which the last half of the session was adapted building on feedback handout (556 downloads) . Thanks for all the Tweets. The photo shows the astrologically-selected winner of the book, and another photo could be thought to be one theme of the session. Good luck with your studies.
