SCOPE
Traditionally supervision takes place on a face-to-face basis in individual sessions. With the increase in number of taught postgraduate students this supervision model is not only not sustainable but also may result in poor engagement and pass-rate for students and higher education institutions. There are number of ways to address the problem such as, use of technology (VLE), peer engagement and support, appropriate methods for monitoring and feedback via technology, efficiency and resource management supported by a technological environment. This special session will evaluate the effect of the above factors on the growing number of taught post-graduate students that needs to be supported by Universities worldwide.
TOPICS
Authors are welcome to submit papers, discuss theory or research issues, demonstrate tools:
- Taught postgraduate programmes Dissertation supervision
- Use of technology to support supervision
- Use of Peer review and assessement in supporting supervision
- Supports related to supervision
