University of Glamorgan are hosting the 2nd Annual ESCalate Student Conference on Friday 16 April 2010, and the theme this year is Students as Stakeholders: take an active part in your own learning. Several things about this event look very interesting: firstly it’s excellent value at £30! Secondly it is a student conference with a keynote from Aaron Porter, Vice-President of the NUS (Higher Education) on The Importance of the Learner Voice in 21st Century Higher Education. Thirdly the topics (eg impact of new technologies on the learning process) complement well the work RSC Wales is currently doing to take our free Learner Voice Learner Choice Roadshows round the country (by the way we’re still taking bookings for the dates in Mold and Bangor but hurry, the South Wales dates are already fully booked!).
Anyway, back to the ESCalate conference: it is open to staff and students in all fields of education. RSC Wales have gained great benefit from joining in past ESCalate events and we’ll look forward to attending this conference too. The deadline for bookings is 19 March.
