Dear Colleagues

The Higher Education Academy's second annual learning and teaching STEM conference entitled "Where practice and pedagogy meet" will take place on 17-18 April 2013 at The University of Birmingham.

Higher education has changed dramatically over the past ten years with advances in technology, the changing expectations of students, growing diversity and the increasing variety of higher education institutions.  This conference aims to disseminate evidence based, effective practice and to examine how this impacts on STEM disciplines.

Areas for consideration at the conference will include, but are not limited to;

  • Providing students with the opportunity to learn vital and fundamental lab skills;
  • Improving the employability skills of STEM graduates;
  • Innovative approaches to teaching and assessing large classes;
  • Giving effective feedback to students;
  • Growing diversity in the student population;
  • Practices in peer mentoring;
  • Impact of information technology in learning and teaching;
  • Students as partners.
