Again, this is a snapshot only. Other people went to different
sessions and those who went to the same ones as me probably
have way more relevant and interesting things to say! I also missed the final
key note address – so looking forward to feedback on that J.
But overall: Participating in the conference has for me
confirmed that we run some fabulous innovative programmes and are doing some
spectacular work at Massey. It is also reassuring to know that other
universities grapple with many of the same issues that we do. It is also always
interesting and very valuable to see a slightly different take on similar
programmes and activities – and of course it saves us so much time and effort
to hear from others about what they’ve tried that works well and some of the
pitfalls along the way. There is a lot of food for thought possibly especially
in relation to our Centre, and our aims, objectives, purpose, focus and
mission. Big picture questions such as will we continue to follow a centrally-based
model and if so what is the best way to
embed the teaching of academic literacies into the curriculum using such a
model. And it also raised questions in relation to the delivery of our services,
for example, how will be continue to provide afterhours support for students
which we know, and others know, students want and value.
