BUFVC's Learning on Screen Conference
2010
Old Lecture Theatre, Open University in Milton
Keynes
27- 28 April 2010
Themes to be explored by LoS
2010:
- how to take lecture capture beyond the mundane?
- how best to use video conferencing and online meeting spaces in teaching, assessment and collaboration while retaining the energy of live discussion?
- how can existing resources be reused and released openly and sustainably?
- how ‘open’ can universities afford to be with course content that may be subject to licensing and copyright?
- as
more institutions deliver their course material as an ‘open resource’ is there a
business case to be made for giving materials away and is iTunesU bringing real
benefits, if so how?
Who should attend Learning on Screen 2010?
Teaching staff, researchers, curriculum professionals, librarians, copyright officers, media services and IT staff who need to be aware of the issues raised by delivering educational resources beyond the campus (both in the UK and abroad).

COURSES / WORKSHOPS
Supporting Professional Development for Engagement - FREE workshops
Institutions are involved in a wide range of external engagement activities and supporting the development needs of staff involved in these diverse activities is a challenge. These workshops provide an opportunity to discuss these issues, explore new resources and contribute to national strategy.
The workshops will also introduce a new JISC-funded online skills tool which has been developed to guide users to relevant resources based on an individual skills profile. The workshops are part of the "Supporting Training, CPD and Staff Exchange for BCE Practitioners" project, funded by JISC's Business & Community Engagement (BCE) Programme.
Each workshop will include a themed session, highlighting key issues for staff development relevant to that theme. Dates, locations and themes are listed below - book online for your free place:
