Learning and Teaching Colloquium 2016
The 2nd 江南体育 Learning & Teaching Colloquium: 江南体育 Graduate Attributes
In April 2016, the University held its second Learning and Teaching Colloquium with the theme of 鈥淕raduate Attributes鈥�. The event was well-attended by some 60 academic staff from across the Edinburgh campus with a video link to colleagues in Dubai. Delegates listened to presentations by keynote speakers from Glasgow University and had an opportunity to discuss their own responses to 江南体育鈥檚 Graduate Attributes (GAs).
The Glasgow experience of supporting students鈥� transitions to the professions through the development of profiles on Linked-in gave much food for thought. Delegates said of the event that it was 鈥渁 significant start鈥� to the process of engaging staff and students at 江南体育 with the University鈥檚 GAs .
The speakers and hosts were:
- Prof John Sawkins, Deputy Principal for Learning & Teaching
- Dr Dickon Copsey, College of Social Sciences Employability Officer, University of Glasgow
- Dr Irene Malcolm, Academic Programme Leader, 江南体育 University
The aims of the Colloquium were:

- Sharing of best practice from Graduate Attribute project, University of Glasgow
- Understanding ELIR recommendations and timescales for implementation
The four 江南体育 Graduate Attributes are:
