Productive exchanges
Last week we had a really productive meeting of the CETL Internal Pedagogic Research and Evaluation Network (CETL-IPREN) at engCETL. We used the ideas of Open Space Technology to run a meeting without an agenda, where the folks who signed up had a 'carte blanche' to discuss the issues and topics of interest to them. We had a lively debate about the interim HEFCE evaluation and how we were going about embedding our work into our institutions. I will post more about the outcomes when we have an agreed set of notes.
Take a look at how Michael Herman describes a meeting held in this way and what Richard Seel and colleagues at New Paradigm Consulting say about Open Space.
Coincidently the Education Guardian this week published an article about a similar event run by NESTA. ¶ 5:37 pm
