It is a practitioner-based collaborative review. "The review is focused into 6 sub-areas within the context of programme for new academic staff: Outcomes and purposes of reflection; Approaches to reflection stressing the personal dimension; Approaches to reflection stressing the social dimension; Feedback and assessment in reflection; Pedagogic strategies to promote reflection; and finally a separate element of the review will look at the state of practice within the field." Suggestions for items to include are welcomed via an online form. <a href="http://www.campus.manchester.ac.uk/tlao/reflectivepractice/" target="_blank">http://www.campus.manchester.ac.uk/tlao/reflectivepractice/</a><br /><em></em><br /><em>Photo by S.

There is some information on the web about one of them, <strong>Review of the research literature on the undergraduate experience of blended learning approaches</strong>. The core team consists of: Dr. Rhona Sharpe, Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development; Greg Benfield, Oxford Centre for Staff and Learning Development; Richard Francis, Head of Media Workshop, Oxford Brookes University; George Roberts, Director for Off-Campus Learning, Oxford Brookes University.

The first of these is a conference <em>evaluating academic libraries</em> on 2nd March 2006 in Wolverhampton, UK. "An event for HE and HE library staff.<br />Speakers from a variety of academic libraries will describe self-evaluation activities, including participation in projects such as e-valued."

The meeting was held at the Higher Education Academy HQ, which is in York. After the meeting I spent a couple of hours in York, which I enjoyed despite the fact that it was tipping down with rain (see photo, above, taken by the river).Sheila Webbernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18287010.post-1130272147771267192005-10-25T21:23:00.000+01:002005-10-25T21:35:02.740+01:00What this blog is aboutThis blog has been set up to report progress on a <strong>Review of Research Literature </strong>that will be undertaken, January-June 2006, with funding from the UK's <a href="http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/" target="_blank">Higher Education Academy</a>, in conjunction with the <a href="http://www.sconul.ac.uk" target="_blank">Society of College, National and University Libraries</a>.<br /><br />The aim is to inform practitioners, policy makers and researchers in UK Higher Education (HE) by illuminating <strong>key concepts, evidence and issues concerned with information literacy in students’ experience of learning in HE</strong>. This will include a focus on approaches to teaching and support of information literacy, and on the impact of information literacy and libraries as regards the student learning experience.<br /><br />The team is led by Sheila Webber (Department of Information Studies (DIS) University of Sheffield, and the rest of the team consists of:<br /><br />–Professor Sheila Corrall, DIS<br />–Bill Johnston, Centre for Academic Practice & Learning Enhancement, Strathclyde University<br />–Dr Philippa Levy, Director, Centre for Inquiry-based Learning in the Arts and Social Sciences, &amp; DIS<br />–Sharon Markless, Institute of Learning and Teaching, King’s College, University of London<br />–David Streatfield, Information Management Associates.Sheila Webbernoreply@blogger.com
