We’re pleased to announce the return of LEaDER’s Journal Club.  Following a taster session at this year’s Learning at City Conference, the Journal Club will again be a regular fixture every month during term time.  The first session will be held at midday on Thursday 10th November. ONLINE

The Journal Club exists to promote discussion of research into pedagogical practices.  Each session engages with a different theme and focuses on two articles which speak to that theme.

In our first session, we will be exploring the lessons learned from the move online during the pandemic.  The two papers consider changes to assessment necessitated by the pandemic and examine their potential long-term benefits for the HE sector:

• Hatzipanagos, S., Tait, A. and Amrane-Cooper, L., 2020, October. Towards a post covid-19 digital authentic assessment practice: when radical changes enhance the student experience. In EDEN Conference Proceedings (No. 1, pp. 59-65).
• Şenel, S. and Şenel, H.C., 2021. Remote assessment in higher education during COVID-19 pandemic. International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, pp.181-199.

Themes of future sessions will be decided in conversation with Journal Club members.  The first sessions will be held over Zoom and will last an hour.  All staff at City are welcome to participate.
