Teaching and learning at universities has moved beyond traditional transfer of knowledge from the learned to the learning. In today’s rapidly evolving world, educators at higher education institutions are challenged with preparing students to succeed in jobs that don’t even exist today, in a world in which creativity and innovation are valued as much as knowledge.
What does it take to do this? What are the latest trends in teaching and learning at higher education institutions? Are they keeping up with the transformations taking place beyond campus boundaries? What are the strategies for broader adoption of effective teaching and learning practices across campus?
UCalgary's Vice-Provost of Teaching and Learning (Interim) Leslie Reid and Jay Cross, Director of the new College of Discovery, Creativity and Innovation in UCalgary's Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, provide their expert knowledge on these and other related questions.

Pedagogical design for honors study abroad and beyond Beata Jones
We present a framework for design of learning activities within a context of an honors study abroad program. Translating into practice the fundamental principles of honors learning, such as challenge, learner autonomy, and being part of a community of learners, incorporating structured PRISM pedagogy (Williams, 2014), Fink’s (2003) guidelines for course design for significant learning experiences, and rigorous outcome assessment (AAC&U, 2010), the presenters developed a detailed curriculum design process that can be translated to any discipline and any honors classroom. A showcase of a student ePortfolio capturing the study abroad learning and competence development accompanies the presentation.

Harassing with Numbers: the Uses and Abuses of Bureaucracy and BibliometryGiuseppe De Nicolao
by Giuseppe De Nicolao.
Presented at the 13th European Control Conference, Lunch Session - Friday, June 27, 2014 (http://www.ecc14.eu/lunch-sessions.html).
Quantitative measures of academic performance are playing an ever more important role in every day’s academic life. Numerical indicators are key ingredients of the "reputation race" exemplified by rankings of institutions, journals and researchers. In an era of budget cuts, institutions and individuals must also resort to quantitative indicators in order to prove "accountable" and justify their cost to the public. This may involve an excessive increase of bureaucratic burdens to the point of harming the overall efficiency of teaching and research. Moreover, the question arises whether scientific productivity of scholars can be quantitatively and accurately measured by means of individual bibliometry. In some countries, there is a clear trend towards the normative adoption of bibliometric indicators at all levels, ranging from national research assessments to decisions regarding individuals, such as hiring and promotion. Is this feasible? What are the caveats and ethical risks? What has the scientometric literature to say and what are the international experiences? After the fall of ebony towers are we doomed to a bureaucratic and bibliometric deluge?

Research in international education can take many forms: whether you are trying to identify best practice in transnational collaboration, investigating strategic planning or measuring outcomes, you face the choice of how best to achieve the desired aims of the study. This session explores some of the mystery surrounding research by looking at some of the practical approaches to undertaking it and by providing insights into the challenges and benefits of the research methods available.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

What does it mean to be an academic in the Social Sciences?by Dr Helen Jones
1. What does it mean to be an academic in the
Social Sciences?
Dr Helen Jones HEA Discipline Lead for Sociology
Birmingham Sept 2012
1
2. Aims
• To set out some of the issues resulting from recent
changes in HE
• To consider the Who, Where, Why, What, How and When
of being an academic in the 21st century university system
• To outline the role of the Higher Education Academy in
supporting excellence in teaching
• To provide you with a little more useful knowledge about
working smarter
2
3. Context
Sector changing rapidly: all institutions face
challenges
If the ‘student learning experience’ wasn’t the
key driver before, it is now!
What was previously ‘bolted on’, now becomes
‘central’: employability, skills, student success,
student satisfaction, value for money, flexibility,
service.
3
4. Who?
• Post-Doctoral students • Academics moving
in their first academic disciplines (ie from
post (increasing %) Social Policy to
Criminology)
• ‘Mid-Career Shifters’
following a previous • Academics moving
career elsewhere between culturally
(sometimes still in different institutions,
practice) e.g. post ‘92 to Russell
Group
• International academics
with a first UK post
• And many other
variations… 4
5. Where?
• In HE and in FE
• Wide range of subjects – politics to criminology
• Range of contexts – Russell Group, Million+, HE in FE
• Mix of career paths – post-docs, professions
• Often non-social science first degree
• Mix of motivations – teach, research, status, travel, career
• Range of student numbers, experience, cultures, languages
• Cohorts sizes from 20 to 1,000 +
5
6. Why?
Even to those committed to it, Academia makes little
sense:
• We are assumed to have a lot of leisure time filled
with reading books but actually work all evenings and
weekends;
• we send multiple e-mails but complain our own inbox
is full;
• we read e-mails in supermarkets telling us a journal
has rejected our life’s work;
• our newspaper and magazine articles, read by
millions, are ignored in research assessments;
• we are surrounded by students who own better
technological gadgets than we do.
6
7. What?
Simply:
Research
Teaching
Service
But includes:
Lecturing, tutoring, marking, researching,
writing bids, publishing, providing pastoral
care, academic admin, consultancy,
checking emails, attending meetings,
blogging, reviewing journal articles,
7
providing references, conducting curriculum
8. How?
Subject you teach:
‘your expertise’………………….…………….… ‘out of comfort zone’
Content you teach:
‘content freedom’………………………..…….… ‘content prescription’
How you work:
‘alone’……………….……………………….…………… ‘in a team’
Approach to teaching:
‘free to choose’……………………………..…….… ‘prescribed’
Use of institutional learning systems:
‘haphazard’………………..…….…….…….… ‘obligatory/systematic’
8
9. When?
How can we cope with the reality of 21st century demands within a
model that was developed in the 19th century?
