With the theme, ?Transforming Curriculum: Empowering Learning for Life?, the Taylor?s 11th Teaching and Learning Conference 2018 (ttlc20192018) will examine key strategies for building learning institutions which are as future-capable as the graduates they develop. Education is evolving, and many institutions have set themselves a goal to prepare their learners for life.

Empowering learners for life requires a fundamental shift in designing curriculum for Higher Education focussed on broad-based education, holistic education and the development of Life Skills.  New priorities, pedagogies, technologies, spaces and assessment strategies are required to empower learners to take ownership of their learning. Creating resilient, adaptable and future-capable learners is no longer an option for Higher Education institutions as we embrace the Education 4.0 Trends.

Therefore, the future-capable institution may instead be defined by the quality and depth of the learning experience, with a clear aim to build learners with high-level capabilities needed to navigate a successful global future such as leadership, social responsibility, innovation and problem solving.

The ttlc20192018?s innovative agenda is designed to ?unlock? the typical conference format, and our aim is to create a space that prioritises engagement with keynotes, panelists and delegates. You can look forward to a relevant, pro-active and rewarding learning experience where peer-to-peer learning and collaboration are prevalent with experts from more than 12 countries and 30 institutions.

Our programme features sessions such as : 

  1.  Masterclass with keynote speakers
  2. Forums with representatives from different industry sectors
  3. Roundtable discussions with industry, graduates, students and academia
  4. Lightning Talks

Come join us at Taylor's 11th Teaching and Learning Conference today!

The Interface between Role and Soul in Teaching: Where Do the Twain Meet


Granted that the ever-sharpening intelligence of succeeding generations fills the needs created by rapidly changing times, the call of the constants is equally forceful to steady the ship and to provide important points of reference as the human race looks future-ward. Nowhere is the need to look inward at the same time as we look outward more compelling as in Education otherwise called the Noble Sector. 

When the pace is so breathless and as the economic rationale becomes ever more irresistible, the voice of the sublime and the ideal is rendered increasingly feeble and powerless. Ease of doing business, arguments of marketability, issues of economic profitability, and efficiencies of returns on investment, inter alia, mostly carry the day. 

My humble submission under the theme of the Interface between the Role and the Soul attempts to present a case for the need to harmonise the two for mutual nourishment and continued relevance.

Empowering learners through the co-design of assessment

This masterclass aims to provoke critical discussion of the benefits, constraints and concerns of engaging students in the co-design of assessment. Overstepping the boundaries of normative expectations of assessment can be daunting and challenging to both learners and teachers. Indeed, Rust et al (2012: 18) assert that where 'summative marks are given, there is (and will always need to be) a clear divide between assessor and assessed.' What implications does this conventional view have for learner-teacher partnership and can the inherent risks and resistance be mitigated by the potential rewards? Participants in this masterclass will be encouraged to consider how they might develop or extend approaches to learner-teacher partnership in their own assessment practice.
