Innovation in Built Environment Education (iBEE 2008)
  
Venue: The Hubs, Sheffield Hallam University
Date: Wednesday, 10th September 2008
Background
This interactive conference seeks to engage with academics across the built
environment disciplines, allowing educators to:
- Enthuse about their teaching
- Experience excellent and innovative practice
- Challenge the learning experience of their students and the learning cultures
of their departments and schools
- Actively engage with and share new ideas through a series of speed-dating
sessions
- Participate in hands-on workshops from six inspirational teachers
This is a ‘can’t miss’ annual event for networking, CPD,
benchmarking and acquiring fresh ideas about how to teach. It is especially
targeted at early stage career academics.
iBEE will develop a community of academics in pursuit of more effective and
more enjoyable teaching and learning experiences by:
- Championing teaching and learning leaders and innovators
- Actively seeking cross-over synergies in the pedagogic styles and strategies
of different subjects
- Fostering the exchange of wisdom, experience and innovation between established
T&L leaders and new academics
Workshops
Workshop 1: The use of challenges to develop autonomy and employability
Nick Nunnington, Sheffield Hallam University
This session will provide hands on understanding of the use of student
autonomy in a series of projects which provide a...Challenge. Using
extracts from The
European Challenge, the Shanghai Challenge and the Estate Management
Challenge, participants will be able to explore and understand the dynamics
of learning through intensive enquiry based approaches in teams. The
workshop explores how realism and intensity can be used positively as
drivers of learning within the Challenge setting.

Workshop 2: Bringing research methods to life
Simone Abram, Leeds Metropolitan University
Qualitative research methods only really make sense when
faced with a real project, but how do you run a 'live' project every year
for a class of 60 students? This workshop illustrates how video, audio
and online resources can be used to not only address complex questions
in research methodologies, but also bring students into contact with emotional
questions of ethics and responsibility. |
