This blog is a (much!) less-than-formal outlining of recent travels, events, happenings, thoughts and comments which tend to have some occupational relevance, but are on occasion nothing more than a means of passing the time while waiting for trains, planes & automobiles...

Denman College, Marcham

Delegates from around the Oxford/Herts/Berks/Surrey area gathered today at the Women's Institute's Residential Adult Education College near Oxford to hear a welcome from Di Batchelor, Abingdon and Witney College's Vice Principal, followed by John Raftery, Pro Vice Chancellor (External Affairs), Oxford Brookes University.
I followed with "Higher Education in Further Education: Challenges and Opportunities" and other speakers included Liz Starbuck Greer (Deputy Director, South Central Lifelong Learning Network) "Increasing Progression to Higher Education", Bill Hunt (HE Co-ordinator, Swindon College) "Preparing for IQER", Lorraine Goss (Educational Consultant) "Effective Teaching Strategies in Higher Education" and Sue McGregor (Curriculum Manager, Solihull College) "Feedback Strategies for Higher Education Students in FE".
A enjoyable good day out, & well worth last night's 4 hour train journey and what will be a nearly 6 hour trip back as my first train is already delayed so I'll miss the connection in Birmingham....
