HELTASA conference call for papers open

Flying to port Elizabeth for the HELTASA 2018 conference and  to Cape Town for Learning LandsCAPE conference

First, the HELTASA conference that will take place in Port Elizabeth from 20-23 November this year recently opened the call for papers and it is all about change. Higher education must change and it is obvious that the traditional, linear, slow way of chancing education is no longer acceptable. The call is therefore for out-of-the-box, fresh approaches to bring about positive, radical change. Abstracts must be submitted by 15 June 2018 and early bird registration closes on 30 June 2018. Information on accommodation and the venue will be posted on the conference web page soon.   

Listed below are the 6 brought themes for the conference:
Responsive Curricula, and Curriculum and Career Pathways
Relevant Pedagogies and Assessment approaches
Student Access and Success
Learning Analytics to inform transformative teaching, learning and support
Leadership to respond to complexity and uncertainty in novel ways
Transformative teaching development across the academic career trajectory

Also, remember the e/merge2018 festival of e-Learning in Africa that will take place from 9 to 20 July. 

Second, here is also a reminder of this years Learning LandsCAPE conference on the theme: Perfecting the blend! Motivation and blended learning. Dates are 8-10 May 2018 at the Belmont square conference centre in Cape Town. And as usual, added to the conference is the Gamification @ work day that should not be missed.
