10.+What+does+this+all+mean+in+my+discipline?

The last two days have covered a wide range of issues and topics. How do these actually play out in specific departments and programmes? This session will let you hear from and engage with a range of experienced academic staff so that you are able to see exactly how these themes are reflected and attended to in practice.

This session is intended to be a ** FISHBOWL ** session. What is a fishbowl? Simply, it is the chance to eavesdrop in on a discussion between a small "panel" of experienced staff who will be discussing a range of topics. The panel only get a few minutes (4 in fact!) to interactively discuss a topic, then YOU as the audience get to interact with the "panel", ask questions and put forward your views for a few minutes (again, only 4!). Then it is on to the next topic, where the same process repeats. The fishbowls are not intended to answer all your questions, but will hopefully provide plenty of fuel for further discussion! What are the topics? You get to partly choose which of the following topics YOU would like to be included:


 * curriculum and course design
 * Living Curriculum
 * TNK and matauranga Maori, Pacific students -
 * inclusive teaching (teaching to diverse background students)
 * embedding academic/information literacies
 * eLearning - Moodle and Web 2.0
 * assessments
 * working with large classes
 * utilising support services - academic support
 * transitioning students into tertiary study


 * HOW will these considerations BE EVIDENCED in YOUR teaching? **
 * What further questions do you have? **
 * Who could you discuss this further with to explore answers? **

By the way, the team at Te Puna Ako are available to talk with you about these very questions!!
