\nWh at'\;s this all about?
\n\n2030 seems a long way off\, but that'\;s how far ahead leaders at the University are \;thinkin g - and they'\;d \;like students to engage in the development of t he new Academic Strategy leading up to that date.
\n\nThese session s are designed to \;draw \;on available evidence from acrosss the UK'\;s University sector \;to compare to our own experiences and insights. All of the Academic Strategy Sessions will be interactive\, pla yful and informal.
\n\n\;
\n\nThis session will cover : \;
\n\nModes of delivery and learning: going beyo nd pace\, place and time?
\n\nThis session considers the evidence about flexibility in approaches to learning and how this is ofte n allied with maximising choice. Given literature suggests that certain s tudent populations can exploit choice more effectively than others\, so i n this session we will consider how to apply these into the lived experie nce at Staffs. What does &lsquo\;connected&rsquo\; really mean\, both now and in 2030\, in the context of delivery\, student and staff demographic s? What does a Staffordshire University infrastructure (physical\, virtua l\, peopled) need to be in order to deliver a flexible\, challenging and successful student experience?
\n\n\;
\n\nBut\, what'\;s the purpose?
\n\n2030 seems a long way off\, b ut effective strategy development needs us all to think about whether&nbs p\;asking &lsquo\;What if?&rsquo\; in a disciplined way allows you to rehearse the possibilities of tomorrow and then to take action today emp owered by those provocations and insights \;(Scearce and Fulton\ , 2004: 2). These sessions are designed to do exactly that. Each session will draw on available evidence and we will compare\, be informed by\, an d apply local insights into such information alongside our own experience and insights. All sessions will be interactive\, playful and informal. END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
