last week saw 3 intense days at Woodland Grange Training and Conference Centre on the first residential section of the Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching. it was good to spend time with like minded people talking creatively about issues one cares about. some interesting ways of considering what I do was represented in interesting ways – constructive alignment – transcultural disciplines – massification of higher education – threshold concepts – troublesome knowledge – context of ambiguity – enhancement led institutional review. I am looking forward to trying out some of the concepts presented with a new rigueur and clarity.
