We can also facilitate ad-hoc and bespoke workshops depending on Faculty needs. All our workshops can help you develop your evidence for an Anglia Ruskin and Higher Education Academy Fellowship.
We run several workshops to support colleagues claiming for HEA and Anglia Ruskin Fellowships.
1. Claim development workshop
This workshop is for those new to the APRS and for those developing their senior or principal claims for fellowship. We advertise dates but can facilitate a workshop for six people or more. It runs for two hours.
2. Claim development writing retreat
This workshop is for those writing their claim to the APRS. Experienced assessors will be on hand for advice for all categories of fellowship. Lunch is provided. We require six participants or more for the workshop.
3. Mentor and assessor workshop
This workshop is for those who have already gained senior or principal fellowship of the Higher Education Academy and want to learn more about the requirements of mentors and assessors with the APRS. The workshop runs for two hours.
4. APRS standardisation workshop
This workshop is for assessors. After the initial assessment of claims, the assessors come together to ensure that they are assessing at the right level, and to discuss any difficulties they might have. The workshop runs for three hours.
With Box of Broadcasts, you can access and use programmes/films that aired on terrestrial/freeview TV and don't have to worry about copyright.
BoB is where you can find/organise/edit clips, and permanently embed them into your teaching and VLE for viewing within the UK.

The aim of a course design intensive workshop is to develop the practice of course design and development in expanded, multi-disciplinary teams.
It provides a focused period of time that leads to tangible outputs and speeds up development times. The Course Design Intensive workshop:
Course Design Intensive workshops bring together experts, critical friends and students. It's one of things that makes the workshops different. They add to the process by:
Choose from an introductory or hands-on session on our main eAssessment platform, Turnitin GradeMark. We also run a workshop on good Multiple Choice Question design.
1. Introducing GradeMark
This workshop introduces Turnitin GradeMark and considers how we are using it for online assessment. Topics discussed include the student support available, the practicalities of accessing and marking assignments, and the tools available in GradeMark. This workshop is not hands-on.
2. GradeMark Hands-On
Explore the GradeMark grading tools within your Turnitin Account with support and time to ask specific questions. Within in the session, there's an opportunity to look at a wide range of different features such as Grade Anything, Grading Templates and analytics. Attendees must have access to their own Turnitin account and should have something meaningful to grade within it.
3. Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) design
This workshop focuses on how to avoid some of the common pitfalls in MCQ design (as typically used in the Questionmark Perception platform). The traditional MCQ question structure is explored as well as some alternative approaches.
We run 3-hour workshops for academic staff on enhancing supervision of Undergraduate Major Projects (UMP), which are either faculty-based or cross-faculty workshops. High quality pedagogical materials are provided that draw on best practice and research in the UK Higher Education sector. Staff can also attend drop-in sessions and webinars.
The emphasis is on providing academic staff with concrete, tangible and practical ideas and tools they can utilise in their own supervisory practice. As well as considering the practicalities of supervision, there is a focus on establishing more consistent approaches within supervisory course teams. This includes considering appropriate mutual expectations, clarifying roles, proving feedback and feed-forwards, managing and monitoring progress, and recording supervision sessions.
Colleagues identified the ideas or tools they had learned about in the workshops which they would definitely be taking forwards into their own future practice. These included:
Students all over the world are downloading, watching and learning about Anglia Ruskin. Come along and see how it works. Learn how you can global exposure for your teaching/department/university, while enabling your students to watch and learn anywhere, any time.
This hour-long hands-on session is designed to get you using the technology. We'll tell you about any upgrades and changes, discuss the pedagogical value of iTunes U, and discuss ways in which you can employ this technology to enhance your students' learning.
Students who can revisit lectures for the purpose of revision do better than those who can't. Learn more about how it works, how to edit the output and how to make personal captures from the comfort of your own home/office.
This hour-long hands-on session will also cover new features after the upgrade.
