External Examiner Report
Attending this event, I was able to take part in some student workshops and listen to keynote speeches. Most of all though I was privileged to be part of a group of participants, over 100, who had come together for that day as a learning community
With disparate partner organisations, the Worcester FdA has some special challenges and, as an EE, I have been increasingly aware of these and, more importantly, the positive response of the staff team and leadership to some of the more knotty protagonists.
Perhaps one of the biggest ones is that of participant identity, going as far as possible towards enabling all students to feel part of the Worcester
FdA
‘village’ even though they hardly ever visit it
The conference, as I experienced, serves to enable sharing and learning; but more so it gives the opportunity for people to ‘see’ their peers, to briefly chat about common ailments as well as benefits…but to take away a picture and a personal notion about what things are like together and where a future may lie.
Slide25
It is great to be part of such a large student body and exchange ideas.
Keynote
speakers amazingly informative
Good to meet students from other colleges
It has given me topics to talk about in
summative assignment
I now know what to do for assignments
I think talking to others makes me aware
that
I am on the same page
