The Heads of Computing event was held on Friday (2 December) but I’ve not had the chance to update the blog since then.<\/p>\n

These meetings have been taking place, every year, for a long time. I remember attending them when I was a Head of Department in the 1990’s. Computing is one of the few subject areas to continue with these events but I think that they still serve a purpose since they, effectively, summarise what’s been going on for the last 12 months – and what’s coming down the line in the future. So, they’re a great way to catch up, for busy people.<\/p>\n

There was a good turn out on Friday. Fifty-four people attended, from 34 colleges, which represents very good coverage of the Scottish FE sector.<\/p>\n

There are some standing items on the agenda, such as the Senior External Verifier’s annual report, and my own presentation was a standing item too — the qualification update, when me, Caroline and Hilary report on what’s been developed over the last year and what we’re currently working on.<\/p>\n

The agenda was pretty varied with presentations about the teaching of Computer Games qualifications, an update on the online learning material that is available to centres, and a particularly interesting discussion about how colleges can work together. We also took the opportunity to update attendees on the HN Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All of the presentations from the day are available from Caroline<\/a>. If you attended the event, please complete a short event evaluation survey<\/a> to help us make next year’s event better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
