CIES Reward Programme - December 2009


Doesn't time fly when you're enjoying yourselves? Here we are again for another very busy and productive event at the University of Ulster with seven teams beavering away in a supportive and creative environment. The Staff Development team are developing a framework for e-portfolios; Art Design & The Built Environment are trying to assess student proficiency with CAD systems; the School of Sports Studies group are offering e-facilitated feedback in the form of audio and podcasts; the Department of Hospitality & Tourism are also offering podcasting along with blogging as a means of assessment and feedback; Career Development are developing a CPPD module entitled "Reflect on Me" to start students thinking about lifelong learning; the Ulster Business School team are working on an online student assessment handbook; and the School of Environmental Sciences are developing a wide-ranging tool to help Masters' students visualise and plan their dissertations. With all that going on, there's a real buzz about the place.
