Upcoming EDIN Event at UCC

Museums in Education: An Alternative Approach for Educational Developers
Wednesday 21st January 2015, UCC, Cork
10.30am-1.30pm

This event, supported by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning, will give participants the opportunity to engage with a current exhibition in the Glucksman Gallery, UCC, from the perspective of teaching and learning.

We will draw on the Project MUSE (Museums in Education) approach, and Howard Gardner’s Entry Points to Learning to inform exploration and discussion. A visit to the exhibition, Selective Memory: Artists in the Archive will be included as central to this event, to prompt reflection and discussion in an unfamiliar and unique setting. The event concludes with lunch at the Glucksman Gallery.

To register for this event, please email claire.mcavinia@dit.ie by Friday 16th January, noting any dietary and/or accessibility requirements you might have. Thank you.

EDIN/HECA Collaborative Project:
Identifying the Professional Development Needs of Part-Time Academics 

EDIN and HECA are undertaking a collaborative project to identify the professional development needs of part-time academic staff within Higher Education Institutions in Ireland. The project has been funded by the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning. Its aim is to deliver a research-informed analysis of professional development needs for the target group to inform continuing professional development programmes for these staff in the future. The outcomes of the project may help to inform further work by the National Forum on professional development for academic staff across the sector in Ireland. The project is being implemented between September 2014 and May 2015. An independent Researcher, Dr Ann Coughlan, is leading the research on behalf of EDIN and HECA.

Full details of the project are available on its website at: http://parttimelecturingproject.wordpress.com/
