THE ASSOCIATION FOR TOURISM IN HIGHER EDUCATION
2014 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
CO-CREATION IN TOURISM TEACHING & LEARNING
4th-5th December 2014, The Royal Society of Edinburgh
Web: http://www.athe.org.uk/conference/
(hosted by Edinburgh Napier University)
This year, our theme is co-creation in tourism teaching and learning. This theme picks up on aspects such as how courses and learning activities are collaboratively designed, delivered and experienced by integrating practice into teaching to reduce disconnects between teaching and industry. As such, this might include students, industry partners or other institutions as co-creators.
Our keynote speakers from both industry and higher education will provide us with the opportunity to reflect on our co-creation experiences.
We have also introduced a PhD Colloquium to encourage students to present at an established conference, meet potential employers and get constructive feedback in a friendly, supportive environment.
The emphasis at the conference is on encouraging discussion and debate, so we ask you to present for just TEN minutes using no more than 3 PowerPoint slides; there will then be a further 10 minutes for discussion of your paper.
CONFERENCE THEMES
We welcome abstracts around the following themes:
- Co-creation of the curriculum: Students, industry and other institutions as co-creators of the curriculum, e.g. industrial work placement experiences, consultancy-style projects.
