30th January, Aston Business School
Working with Blackpool & the Fylde college, I yesterday ran two sessions (both on "Support for Scholarly Activity and it's Impact on the Learner Experience") at this year's QAA/HEA joint conference exploring perceptions of scholarly activity in the FE sector, how Blackpool & the Fylde have supported and developed scholarship through the Teaching Quality and Enhancement Framework project implementation, and the ground-breaking FE Alliance and the Journal of Further Education Alliance which celebrates a number of papers relating to HE in FE.
Each of the two fully-booked workshops (30+ attendees both times, standing room only!) introduced the profiling tool used by the college to indentify and quantify scholarship on an individual and institutional level, and decribed how these activities have enhanced the experience of their students. B&F received a number of requests to demonstrate their tool at institutions & I've been invited to 6 colleges to run an extended version of today's session(s).
Think I'll write a paper on why (after again spending 2 hours stood up all the way back from Birmingham) more carriages/trains surely can't be that hard to organise and submit it to the journal of travel planning...
