Who are these workshops for?
The Developing Academic Skills workshop series is designed to support all colleagues who have an active role in teaching and/or supporting undergraduate and postgraduate taught students’ academic skills development.
This includes learning development officers, graduate study advisers or mentors, and academic skills lecturers or tutors in colleges, departments, faculties or professional services.
In the workshops, you will have the opportunity to share your practice and learn from peers across the collegiate University. We will draw on a range of evidence-based models and tools that you can use in your context to create and sustain an inclusive learning environment for our diverse student community.
Your role will include supporting students through 1-1 or small group sessions to develop their academic skills such as time management, academic writing, reading and note-taking, exams and revision.
Where and when are the workshops?
The interactive workshops are all in-person and take place during each academic year. You can attend one or as many of the workshops as you would like.
Each workshop is held at Littlegate House (Seminar Room, Level 2), 16/17 St Ebbe's Street, Oxford OX1 1PT.
What do I get upon completion of the workshops?
Please note, the workshops do not lead to a teaching qualification, but you may be able to draw on your learning from these workshops and your academic skills teaching in any future teaching recognition applications.
How can I get a teaching qualification?
If you would like to gain formal recognition for your teaching practice at Oxford, you can apply for one of our accredited teaching programmes. Participating in this Developing Academic Skills workshop series will help you to reflect on how you can draw on your experience in academic skills development work to gain formal recognition via these programmes.
Is there a fee for the workshops?
There is no fee to attend these workshops.
