Chairing Validation Panels
Date of session: TBC
Time: TBC
Venue: TBC
Presenters/facilitators: Liz Turner (APQO), Dominic Corrywright (HSS), Roger Dalrymple (HSS), Jackie Potter (OCSLD)
The panel was excellently chaired with a real sense of rigour and sensitivity to the ambitions of the programme. I was very impressed with the process and delighted to have gained the experience of being on the panel.
You can make a hugely important contribution to the quality of teaching and learning at Oxford Brookes by taking part in approval and review panels, and it is an excellent professional development opportunity, particularly for those seeking to take up roles such as PLSE.
This workshop will provide an overview of the Chair’s role and responsibilities before, during and after a panel event; and will explore how panels can promote good practice in programme design. The session is largely based around group discussions, in which participants will be invited to share their experiences and observations on good and bad practice in the conduct of approval and review panels, at Brookes and in other HE institutions.
