Satellite – School of Arts digital education subcommittee: Call for Proposals

Dear School of Arts,

Satellite – the School of Arts digital education subcommittee – is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals for exploratory events to take place in academic year 2018-19.

These exploratory events are an opportunity to explore more subject-, disciplinary- or problem-specific developments, innovations and issues related to digital education, and more generally the implications of new technologies for pedagogy and learning. You may, for instance, want to organise an event around alternative approaches to assessment that make use of techniques such as mobile video, social media or blogging. Or an event which considers innovative ways in-class learning experiences can be blended with online activities in-between sessions. Or the ways in which the digitalisation of our research objects or methods might shift how we teach and assess our subject areas. These examples are not exhaustive, and there are many other possibilities.

Exploratory events can be proposed by School academics, teaching and scholarship staff, administrative staff, as well as postgraduate research students. We are particularly keen to see more proposals from research students this year, so could doctoral supervisors please forward this on to their students – it’s a good opportunity for professional development.

Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis, through funds are limited. Your proposal must include the following:

  • Event Title
  • Event Convenor(s) (name and short bio / link to web profile)
  • Event Description (no more than 300 words)

Requested funding amount and its purpose(s) (e.g. catering costs – please specify if Satellite funding will be complemented by other funds, e.g. from department or research centre)

Please submit your proposal to Scott Rodgers at s.rodgers@bbk.ac.uk. Feel free to get in touch with Scott should you have any questions, or if you would like to discuss a potential idea further.

While these exploratory events can also be proposed by School academics, teaching and scholarship staff and administrative staff, we are specifically reaching out to you, as budding academics and teachers, with an appeal to apply. These events are a great opportunity to explore your interests as they relate to the intersection of technologies for pedagogy. You may, for instance, want to organise an event around alternative approaches to assessment that make use of techniques such as mobile video, social media or blogging. Or an event which considers innovative ways in-class learning experiences can be blended with online activities in-between sessions. Or the ways in which the digitalisation of our research objects or methods might shift how we teach and assess our subject areas. These examples are not exhaustive, and there are many other possibilities.

Proposals are due by 5pm on 23 March 2018 and must include the following:

  • Event Title
  • Event Convenor(s) (name and short bio / link to web profile)
  • Event Description (no more than 300 words)

Satellite meeting – 18 Oct 2017 2-4pm

The next meeting of Satellite will take place tomorrow – Wednesday 18 October 2017, 14.00-16.00 in Keynes Library (Room 114), 43 Gordon Square.

Satellite is an experimental group within the School of Arts focused on learning technologies, broadly defined. It operates as a hybrid, in that it is both a formal subcommittee for the School of Arts’ Teaching and Quality Enhancement Committee, and at the same time, a forum for exchanging information and perspectives on the critical, creative, academic and pedagogical dimensions of learning technologies.

Although as a subcommittee Satellite includes formal department representatives, its meetings remain an open forum for all who would like to attend, including academic and administrative staff, as well as postgraduate research students.

Minutes from our last meeting, along with an agenda for the forthcoming meeting, are available on Satellite’s Moodle page (http://moodle.bbk.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=4447). If you are not already enrolled, once there, you simply need to self-enrol using the following enrolment key: artstel

Very best,
Scott
