Image via Wikipedia Following on from the SFEU's Computing Conference in June, (what do you mean you weren't there - it was great!) this Thursday, the 18th of September, sees an event focussed on Recruitment, Attainment and Retention in Computing.
We have speakers from the SFEU, SQA, HMIe and the University of Strathclyde together with plenty of workshops on the programme.
Hopefully you'll leave bristling with new ideas to make your department as successful as it can possibly be.
Registration closes soon so get moving and I'll see you on the 18th.
From the SFEU website: The challenges facing computing staff in all of Scotland's 43 colleges have never been greater, with continuous demands on lecturing staff to keep abreast of an evolving curriculum, emerging technologies and new computing subjects. In addition, staff members need to consider the profile of their learners and their varying expectations, the fact that performance indicators continue to be low compared to other areas across the sector, and that computing recruitment is slipping. Despite such challenges, there is an abundance of good practice and success stories in computing. It is important to harness such practice and help practitioners implement these successes elsewhere. To achieve this, it is essential that computing practitioners work together with learners, policy holders, awarding bodies and employers.
