Top academic in ambitious bid to groom future scholars

By Edwin Naidu. The basic reason for the programme is that no university teaches young academics how to become professors, which means that a lot of time, resources and opportunities are lost, leading to great frustration and struggles to transform the professoriate in former white universities.

Achieving the impossible (Advocate 25 03)

I have been a case worker for the NTEU for some years now and I have become increasingly distressed at the situations our members bring to me and the experiences they share with me. One case led me to write a play, which we later animated, entitled Achieve The Impossible: True-Tales From A Modern University. More...

Chewing on the FAT (Advocate 25 03)

One of the weapons I have deployed against overwork in 2018 is an app called ‘Timing’. Timing watches everything I do on my laptop and categorises it. It also gives me the option to enter in non-computer work, such as meetings. You can set the ‘productivity score’ for each kind of task, enabling you to gauge whether your time has been well spent. Even better, it has a useful, interactive, dashboard view that lets you view your working rhythms, day by day, or a range of other time series. I have included a screen shot of my hours worked since I installed the app early in the year, which shows how this (sadly Mac only) software displays the data. More...

Hard conversations about prejudice (Advocate 25 03)

Our actions in life are bounded by values that we hold personally, but also societal values that we agree collectively to live by. These values change and evolve over time, and there are periods when some can be brought to the fore more than others. More...

Core values in our everyday work

Screenshot-2018-5-3 EAIE

Core values can serve as a compass in your daily work in higher education.

Travailler en duo d’entraîneurs

Résultat de recherche d'images pour Se préparer au travail en cours ressemble dans une large mesure au fait de se préparer à dispenser une formation en solo. Les différences tiennent à que ce qu'un entraîneur travaillant seul et  doit faire seul va maintenant être fait en consultation avec une autre personne. Cela donne une bonne chance pour une plus grande efficacité des activités de développement, bien qu'il faille garder à l'esprit que travailler ensemble est toujours une nécessité pour concilier deux approches, deux regards et deux idées différentes.

La référentialisation est le processus et le référentiel le produit

Résultat de recherche d'images pour Les formateurs et les enseignants connaissent plus directement les référentiels liés à leurs activités que sont les référentiels d’activité, de métier ou d’emploi, les référentiels de compétences, les référentiels de formation (ou programme) et les référentiels de certification ou de diplômes. Mais ces référentiels s’inscrivent dans des référentiels généraux et sociaux plus ou moins visibles ou implicites, et plus ou moins formalisés. Plus...

Style: a Pleasure for the Reader, or the Writer?

Style: a Pleasure for the Reader, or the Writer?
Because I write for an audience every day (a discipline that wonderfully focuses the mind) I find myself attending to questions of style on a regular basis. According to the author, the vast majority of students cannot write (or, at least, cannot write clearly). More...

Virtual Worlds are Real Worlds

Virtual Worlds are Real Worlds
Raction to an article in the Guardian about online worlds titled Get a Life. The author's point is simple, and one with which I am in agreement: virtual world are real. They are just as real, in fact, as the 'real world'. More...

Online Hunting, Gathering and Sharing – A Return to Experiential Learning in a Digital Age

International Review of Research in Open and Distributed LearningLearning through a collective experience by taking part in group activities, such as hunting, gathering, and sharing, has always been a natural, “organic,” and “experiential” process where new skills and knowledge, if benefitting the whole group, are accepted, shared, and propagated.
