A one day conference on ‘Collaborative provision in Higher Education in Wales’

Thursday 22 May 2008, Metropole Hotel, Llandrindod Wells

The purpose of this event is to offer an opportunity for providers of higher education in Wales to discuss the various approaches to collaborative provision.  Discussion topics are likely to include:

  • frameworks and procedures for managing collaborative links
  • managing assessment in collaborative provision
  • managing and enhancing learning opportunities in collaborative provision.

We anticipate that higher education institutions (and further education colleges with directly funded higher education provision) will want to participate and there will be no charge for registration for this event.

Places will be restricted to 3 per higher education or further education institution.
