How the other half teaches Computing: find out what happened at this year's HEA Computing workshops

The HEA for Computing has been running some excellent seminars and workshops on teaching aspects of our discipline. Chris Douce, of the OU, has helpfully produced some very full reports on some of these:

• 10th Teaching, Learning and Assessment of Databases (TLAD) workshop
• Teaching and learning programming for mobile and tablet devices
• Enhancing the employability of computing students through an on-line professional presence
• Mobile Application Development: from curriculum design to graduate employability
• Inquiry, Independence and Information (Computing) Using IBL to Encourage Independent Learning in IT Students
• Creating a positive and workable future for UK games and animation courses: industry and education perspectives
• Embedding Self and Peer Assessment and Feedback in Practice - A Principles-Based and Technology-Enabled Approach
• Computer Forensics Workshop
• Higher Education Academy BotShop Workshop

Each report contains excellent links if you want to explore further. This is a super-easy way to take advantage of these events and maybe being inspired to go to some in person. Watch out for this year's programme soon.
