Beyond Europe
Date: Monday 11 May 2009
Time: 10.00 – 4pm
Location: CEPLW, Centre of Excellence in Professional Learning
from the Workplace, University of Westminster, London
Outline
The
third in a series of seminars about the internationalisation
of academic credit, this time looking beyond the European
higher education area, exploring academic relationships
and pedagogic cultures.
Effective
student mobility within and beyond Europe is subject to
many tensions and technicalities, not the least being the
‘struggle to fit’ experienced by the international
student.
The
day will offer a chance to discuss the mechanisms for the
convergence of various academic credit systems, credit size
and levels, from the perspectives of East and West, and
to concentrate on the experience of supporting students
through the dissonance.
Following
an update on the workings of the Bologna Group, and an overview
of the new Guide to ECTS, we will explore the issues raised
by different credit level mechanisms, hear from people who
work with student transfer and recognition of international
programmes, and then go on to discuss the notion of the
various pedagogic cultures that bear on the intricacies
of understanding this topic.
The
day will be followed by the SEEC European Credit Network
Group Spring meeting, to share news and plan the next academic
year’s programme, including the development of online
conferencing and publications.
Presentations
from the day will be published on the SEEC website.
