Unfortunatley the ALES annual conference has had to be cancelled. We will post detail of our AGM as soon as possible.
Teaching and Learning in the Digital Age
Heritage
Quay, University of Huddersfield, 5th June 2015
The nature of
teaching and learning has traditionally focused on the transmission model: the
passing of knowledge or information from educators to students. However, new
and emerging technologies have challenged this approach by emphasising the
quality of knowledge and how it is acquired, and also by fostering more
participative and collaborative methods of teaching and learning.
Archive
services across the UK are contributing to this transformation by embracing
digital and online technology to create, share and disseminate knowledge and
information more widely, and to engage with different groups of users and
learners including schools, university students, adult learners and community
groups.
This one-day
conference would like to explore how archivists, education and outreach
officers, and other professionals working in the heritage sector are responding
to the challenges and opportunities presented by online and digital learning,
particularly at a time of significant financial constraints in the sector.
Questions that we wish to cover on the day include:
- how can archive services support
digital learning?
- to what extent has digital
learning improved access and changed perceptions about archives?
- what skillsets and resources are
required to engage in digital learning?
- what can archive professionals
learn from teachers and educators who use digital technology in the
classroom?
- how can the archives and
education professions exchange good practice and ideas?
We are
inviting 30 minute presentations focusing on practical experiences and case
studies around these topics. If you are interested please email Maria
Castrillo, ALES training officer (m.castrillo@nls.uk), an abstract with an outline of your
proposal.
The deadline
for submissions is 20th March. Once all submissions have been received a small
committee will meet to review them and make a selection.
Kind regards,
Maria
Castrillo
