They have written and produced short plays on the theme of the Holocaust which they could perform, here to audiences on campus of history, RE, and drama students as well as history classes in our feeder schools and a venue in the local community.” Our college is “currently piloting the Welsh Baccalaureate and we urgently need partner institutions in the USA and in Europe in order to set up work experience programmes and curriculum links.” from the line manager
LIPD Case - studies • HILARY BEYNON, Lecturer in Modern Languages, Coleg GwentVisit to Georgia, USA Spanish sketches “I intend to ensure that I have all e mail addresses for my students in September and will expand my at present ad hoc use of this to a more formalised way of marking homework exercises and assignments and even transferring sound recordings.” I recommend LIPD participants “stay with a colleague. Had I stayed in a hotel the nature of the experience would have been totally different. I learned so much from them and the hospitality was wonderful.” “Drama – I caught the end of a sketch and the ensuing animated discussion of low self esteem of one of the characters – something similar would make good activities for tutorial/WBQ/PSE.”
LIPD Case - studies • GORDON FROWEN, Lecturer in Construction and VICTORIA ENGLISH Lecturer in Sociology, Coleg GwentVisit to Santa Fe Community College, Florida, USA Motor Vehicle Classroom and use of manufacturer’s software "Although the mirrored problems of skill shortages and employers' reluctance to employ apprentices were frustratingly evident, the types of delivery methods, links with industry and the use of ILT to support the curriculum delivery were refreshingly positive.” My LIPD visit “has encouraged me to be more active in the enrolment, retention and achievements of my students.” Both colleges “will benefit greatly from the initiative. It goes without saying that we would be very interested in a reciprocal arrangement from one staff of Santa Fe Community College in the future." from the college principal. I want to “take on a more student centred approach using ILT as a vehicle of research, instead of controlling the classroom situation I am implementing a more directed approach which encourages more involvement and ownership of their learning.”

Staff commented on the popularity of these courses which had a higher retention and attainment rate than the on-line courses.” • “Since our visit Dr Edward Bonahue Chair of International Education SFCC has visited our campus and met with our Principal Howard Burton. The process of forming a more formal link is currently being negotiated.”

Claus the organic shepherd grazing sheep on derelict industrial ground “BbS Wittenberg is an institution that has many partners in the rest of Europe, but not in Wales and they are keen to maintain links to enable reciprocal visits and to send students on study programmes. Details of the scholarship will be placed in my Professional Development Review (PDR) which is used in Moderation / Verification inspections: this will help to show that the college management is investing in staff so that they can provide quality learning programmes.”
