Date 2 April 2009, 10.00am – 4.30pm

Thanks to all at Leeds for all their help and support for a wonderful day!

Calling Notice and Agenda

Another excellent event that produced a number of good outputs and plenty of ideas that we can all use to develop our own practise.

We had the usual set of presentations that open up the subject matter for the day - this time it was assessment.

A big thank you to Colston Sanger for his interesting talk about how his programme is assessed - it is great to know that creative and powerful ideas are working well at London South Bank.

Workshop 3 was the first time that all 4 members of the steering group have been able to get together for almost 1 year! It is great to have Roger back with us and his presentation contained many nuggets of excellent (i.e. better than good) practice.

Steve did his usual trick of having too much stuff and too little time, so a number of slides were missed. However, the ideas from David Boud are worthy of further study.

Denise has collated outputs from the group discussions and they are available below. The raw flipcharts are linked below as photos.

Thanks to everyone who attended, it was really good to see you again and we are looking forward to catching up in June!

This link is particularly non-PC, but nevertheless humourous...

I wonder why project management is singled out for the topic here? Is this something we need to dicuss??? ;-) I think violence in a business context is not to be encouraged - unless you know otherwise...? :-)
