ADM-HEA COLLABORATIVE EVENTS
Collecting Experiences: enriching design students'
learning in the museum
Sackler Centre for Arts Education, V&A, London
24
April 2009
Museums and their collections can offer rich learning
opportunities for higher education students of art and design. How can these
opportunities be developed, supported and enriched?
Research conducted
by the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning through Design (CETLD) at
the V&A, identified limited targeted educational provision for higher
education design students in museums. The same research suggested ambivalence
from museum educators about the most effective ways in which to support higher
education students’ learning in this context; this is in spite of the fact that
tutors see the role of the museum as “an academic facilitator, supporting
student learning…” Similarly, tutors were ambivalent about ways that they can
support students’ learning from museums, although they believe that museums do
provide a range of valuable learning opportunities.
This day seeks to
highlight the innovative and exciting work being undertaken in this area. The
day will provide an opportunity for museum educators and higher education tutors
to hear about pedagogical approaches, collaborative activities and resources
developed to support art and design students’ learning from museums and their
collections. Our definition of ‘the museum’ is broad and presentations will
range from exploration of departmental handling collections and the uses of
university archives, to collaborations between large public museums and higher
education institutions.
The symposium has been organised by The Centre
for Excellence in Teaching and Learning through Design (CETLD) and the Art
Design Media Subject Centre of the Higher Education Academy
(ADM-HEA).

Expectations, Experiences and
Encounters in HE and HE in FE – The 3Es
University of Bolton
12 June 2009
Are you a
member of staff teaching Art, Design and Media in HE or HE in FE? If so this
event will be of interest to you.
This one-day event hosted by the
University of Bolton on behalf of the NW Network Group has been developed to
disseminate the findings of collaborative research into student expectations,
experiences and encounters with higher education undertaken in the Northwest of
England.
Student expectations, experiences and encounters, and staff
perceptions were explored through innovative research partnerships between staff
teaching higher education art, design and media in universities and further
education colleges. The value of these partnerships will also form a focus for
the day.
The keynote speaker is Professor Mantz Yorke who will present
issues that have arisen from the research he has undertaken on the student
experience.
Ian Lindsay, Academic Advisor HE in FE for the Higher
Education Academy Subject Network will talk about why and how HE in FE staff can
get involved in scholarly activity and how the Academy and its Subject Centres
can help to facilitate this.
The objectives of the day are
to:
- Disseminate the findings of the project
- Share good practice
- Discuss the benefits of collaborative research in HE and HE in FE
- Offer opportunities for sectoral discussion
- Engage further with HE in FE
- Continue to strengthen the links for all
attendees
Registration for this event will open
on 7 April 2009

location to bring educators, researchers and practitioners together to explore
contemporary initiatives and global perspectives that are fashion and/or
textiles specific, or fashion and textiles related. New synergies are creating
enriching partnerships and attitudes, widening
research and practice agendas
within this field.
There are two forms of submission

- 10
minute presentations for emerging researchers highlighting their current
research
The papers will be peer refereed, with
