Library TeachMeet: Employability and information/digital literacies

There is a free Library TeachMeet: Employability and information/digital literacies to be held at Canterbury Christ Church University, Canterbury, UK, on 16 July 2019. The keynote speaker is David White, Head of Digital Learning, University of the Arts London, talking about Avoiding the skills trap: Reflections on using the UAL Digital Creative Attributes to design teaching and learning. You can participate by: taking 20 minutes to present an idea, research or pilot an activity; giving a 5-10 minute lightning talk to showcase an idea or activity; participating in the world café session where everyone can share their ideas, experiences or reflections on the day. "Do you currently embed employability within your teaching? Are you struggling with how you can incorporate employability themes in your sessions? If the answer is yes to either of the above, this is the TeachMeet for you! As librarians, we develop students’ information and digital literacies. Something that is less explicit in our role is how we enhance student employability. Developing graduate attributes or professional skills are inescapable priorities within education and especially Higher Education. Our TeachMeet offers you the chance to pilot and learn new teaching ideas, share successes and failures, while also meeting colleagues who face the same challenges."
To express interest, email lynsey.blandford@canterbury.ac.uk "with details of what you will share and your preference for a 20 minute or a 5/10 minute talk or activity."
