Write-TEL

Description:

UPDATE 1st March 2012.

Write-TEL 2 will be running shortly starting Spring 2012, once again featuring online workshops led by Dr Nicola Whitton (Manchester Metropolitan University) and other members of a cross-institutional course team from Edinburgh Napier University, Aston University, and the University of Salford.

Further details to be confirmed, but if you are interested in signing up for an online supported opportunity to author your first peer-reviewed publication in technology-enhanced learning please e-mail Keith Smyth k.smyth@napier.ac.uk at Edinburgh Napier University.

Welcome to the home of Write-TEL (Writing for Publication in Technology-Enhanced Learning)!

Write-TEL is an online initiative to provide Edinburgh Napier and other colleagues with a supported, developmental opportunity to write for publication in the area of technology-enhanced learning.  It is primarily for colleagues who feel they are doing good work in the area of technology-enhanced learning, teaching and assessment that they would like to disseminate more widely via a peer-reviewed conference submission, journal article, or other peer-reviewed published output.

Write-TEL comprises a series of four online ‘writing for publication’ workshops, and associated one-to-one and peer support activities, starting early April 2011 and concluding early July 2011 with the final preparation of submissions for a chosen journal or peer-reviewed conference.

Write-TEL is led by Dr Nicola Whitton, Manchester Metropolitan University and Dr Keith Smyth, Edinburgh Napier University, and co-faciltated by Julia Fotheringham Edinburgh Napier University.
