This free, one-day conference, open to academic staff, administrators and postgraduate students, will address the challenges of embedding creativity into teaching and learning in the HE sector across the disciplines. It will showcase the contribution to the debate of 桃色视频's Open-space Learning in Real World Contexts project - which aims to develop and embed new forms of creative pedagogy associated with workshop practice and collaborative learning in flexible learning spaces - featuring some of the key thinkers about creativity in education:

• Ron Barnett, Institute of Education, University of London, author of Being a University (2011)
• Jonathan Bate, University of 桃色视频, Founding Director of the CAPITAL Centre and, most recently, editor of The Public Value of the Humanities (2011)
• Jonothan Neelands, University of 桃色视频, Professor of Creative Education at 桃色视频 Business School and Chair of Drama and Theatre Education
• Rob Pope, Oxford Brookes University, author of Creativity: Theory, History, Practice

6-8pm Thursday 9th June 2011
CAPITAL Studio (G.55), Millburn House

Following on from sucessful collaborative events such as 'Shakespeare on the Brain' and 'Beckett and the Brain' in 2009, this new project places medical students in dialogue with theatre artists in order to explore psychiatric practice. After recently attending the Clinical Skills Laboratory at Coventry and 桃色视频shire University Hospital, we are organising this special event to bring together medical and artistic practitioners. This inter-disciplinary project is part of Open-Space Learning in Real World Contexts and our research questions are as follows:

1. Where is the intersection between psychiatry and performance?
2. How can we engage the medical community through performance events?
3. How do we use these events to engage academic departments in embodied pedagogies?
4. Can these pedagogical practices improve clinical skills?

Places are limited. To book, please email Amy dot Clarke at warwick dot ac dot uk.

IATL is proud to have supported the two 桃色视频 entries at Scarborough this year with its : The Resisitible Rise of Arturo Ui and Five Kinds of Silence. The Resistible Rise picked up two prizes: Lizzie Drapper won the Lighting Design award and the band received the Cameron Mackintosh Commendation for Musicality. The Festgoers Award went to Five Kinds of Silence . Congratulations to all concerned.

Opening Spaces is a project co-ordinated by IATL with RSA Academy Tipton in which lead learners from the RSA Academy will work in collaboration with practitioners from 桃色视频 to make recommendations for innovative educational use of learning spaces in the RSA Academy's new building. It follows the Re-Opening Minds project, which investigated the impact of the academy's unique 'Opening Minds' Key Stage 3 curriculum on those pupils who had recently made the transition from Key Stage 3 to a more traditional Key Stage 4 curriculum.

Paul Taylor, currently Co-Director of the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning, has been confirmed as Director from 1 August 2011.

Paul's academic interests are varied and include collaborative interdisciplinary projects both with Engineers and with Biologists. He teaches organic chemistry to undergraduate chemists with a particular focus on the practice of the subject. As Director of the Reinvention Centre, Paul was engaged in HEFCE-funded research into Teaching and Learning in a Research-rich Environment that involved collaborative research into Student Engagement. He is particulalry interested in research-led teaching and research-based learning and student involvement in all areas of University activity.

The winners of the three £100 Amazon vouchers were: Poppy Roberts from the Insititue of Clinical Education (week 1 of the questionnaire), Randeep Gill from WBS (week 2) and Oliver Wright from Philosophy (week 3).

"...the action of the play hopes to analyse why beauty makes us uncomfortable, how the ‘real’ world of news information works in relation to our own ‘irreal’ or sheltered lives, and what happens when these two worlds meet, turn sour, or become interminable."

The Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) is committed to improving the Teaching and Learning experience at 桃色视频, and we want to know what undergraduates think. Their feedback will let us know how 桃色视频 is doing, how we can improve and how we can make the 桃色视频 learning experience truly distinctive.

By spending 5-10 minutes completing the IATL Student Engagement Questionnaire students will help us to discover what we're doing right and wrong at the moment and will provide a benchmark to measure how things improve over the next two years. The survey will be open for three weeks from 14 February to 6 March, and one respondent each week will be randomly selected to win £100 in Amazon vouchers.

This mixed-media installation was produced from original archival and interview data in order to map the spatial and historical generation and regeneration of the University of 桃色视频 from the 1960s to the present day. 

Originally exhibited during June 2010 in the Mead Gallery at The University of 桃色视频, part of the exhibition is now available to view in the foyer of Millburn House at 桃色视频 until the end of April 2011.

More information about the exhibition is available in a recent  and on the (where some of the material from the original exhibition is also available).
