About SIG involvement:
We realise that workloads are heavy, so flexibility is key when it comes to special interest group involvement. Individual SIG members decide if and when they engage in SIG activities. This can result in various levels of involvement, including:
- attend a SIG meeting
- attend a workshop, seminar or conference related to work emanating from the SIG
- help with facilitation of an e-discussion, a meeting or a workshop
- assist with seminar or workshop provision eg. hosting a SIG event, organising or running an event
- recommend materials on learning & teaching in your area
- provide resources like case studies
- take part in surveys
- disseminate information through the production of an occasional paper
All contributions however great or small are welcome.
