Le réseau PEnSERA2 (regroupant des conseillers et conseillères pédagogiques de l’enseignement supérieur en Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne) organise du 24 au 26 novembre 2021 les 3èmes journées nationales pour le développement professionnel continu des accompagnatrices et accompagnateurs pédagogiques dans l’enseignement supérieur. Cette rencontre aura lieu à Autrans (Vercors, proximité de Grenoble) et est également ouverte aux conseillers et conseillères pédagogiques de Suisse. Elle aura pour thème « Définir, développer et enrichir les postures des accompagnatrices et accompagnateurs pédagogiques » et constitue une belle occasion de se retrouver entre conseillers et conseillères pédagogiques francophones. Le descriptif est accessible à la page https://jn-pensera2.sciencesconf.org/ . Une pré-inscription est conseillée avant le 27 juillet (il semble qu’il y a déjà une ruée de personnes intéressées !).

Dear colleagues,

We are happy to invite you to join us for the next edition of the Teaching Science and Engineering free online course!

This 8-week MOOC is organized by the Teaching Support Centre at EPFL, one of Europe’s top engineering schools. It is designed for new instructors and doctoral teaching assistants and addresses both what to do when you are teaching as well as explaining why these approaches and strategies are appropriate and useful for teaching scientific and engineering disciplines at the university level.

We invite you to have a look at the course programme and enroll in the spring edition starting April 12^th. Please, send us to your friends and colleagues.

We are looking forward to seeing you online!
