School of Arts Learning & Teaching development event, University of SurreyDr Christopher Wiley convened and facilitated a Learning and Teaching development event for the School of Arts at the University of Surrey on Friday 18 September 2015.

40 academics from across the subject areas of Music and Sound Recording, Dance, Theatre, Digital Media Arts, and the Guildford School of Acting participated in two lively and productive discussions led by Dr Wiley during the half-day event.

Both designed to enable the sharing of best practices across the School, the first discussion workshop considered current School policy in relation to teaching, while the second explored strategies for teaching enhancement with a particular focus on student engagement and interactivity.

This was the fourth of the biennial School of Arts Learning and Teaching events instigated by Dr Wiley in his role as Director of Learning and Teaching, following the success of similar forums in January 2015, September 2014, and January 2014.

COd2wWcW8AArD0yDr Christopher Wiley was the invited external speaker at a Turning Technologies ‘Lunch and Learn’ event on electronic voting systems held in the Jubilee Building at the University of Sussex on 9 September 2015.

During his 50-minute workshop, Dr Wiley explored the issue of engaging students with electronic voting systems using both bespoke handsets and the students’ own mobile devices, referring to a series of worked examples from his own teaching in order to demonstrate some of the more creative and advanced ways of deploying response technology.

Dr Wiley’s presentation, which was attended by an audience of 25 academic staff drawn primarily from the School of Business, Management, and Economics, was followed by a separate talk by René Moolenaar from the University of Sussex. The programme for the complete session is available here.

This event marks the sixth UK university at which Dr Wiley has delivered workshops on electronic voting systems since 2014 (the others being Birmingham, Southampton Solent, Durham, Hull, and Surrey).
