1. Next live session:
Thursday, 23 August 2012 "Assessment and the Manifesto for Teaching Online"
Presenter: Clara O'Shea (University of Edinburgh, UK)

Manifesto for Teaching Online (http://onlineteachingmanifesto.wordpress.com/) is in part a reaction to problematic assumptions that seem to structure a lot of what is developed and promoted as e-learning and as a way of promoting a positive and forward looking, yet realistic vision for e-learning.
This session will focus on what the Manifesto has to say in regard to the assessment side of online teaching and learning. The audience is strongly encouraged to engage and contribute their views to the conversation.

When:
Thursday, 23 August 2012 at 07:00AM UST/GMT (Duration approx 1 hour). Remember this session is on Thursday!
