WMCETT's Priority Area Co-ordinator for AVC/ACL, Margaret Hunter, attended the LEAFEA Adult Learning Conference at The International Learning Centre, Telford, on July 15 and a WMCETT stall was set up at the event's market place for delegates to browse during the breaks. Lots of information was taken away and several people asked to join our mailing lists. More information is available here.

The third in the series of Professional Dialogue seminars run by WMCETT and the West Midlands HEI Forum was held on 19 March at the University of Warwick, with the focus on the subject of equal opportunities and diversity.

A report on the discussions of issues raised at the first Professional Dialogue seminar held in November is now available to read here.

The main themes examined that day were the implications of initial assessment and the minimum core in curriculum design, and developing the skills of critical thinking and reflective evaluation.

The focus on the second seminar was technology in education, and the report can be read here. 

The final seminar was held at the University of Warwick on Friday, March 19, and a report and resources from all the seminars will be available shortly.
