Training what ’ s available / what ’ s required

Date : 25th June 10am-3pm Venue Lister Lecture Theatre Bradford College Details : The JISC RSC Road-show provides interactive training with an emphasis on collaborative scenario based activities , aimed at teachers and trainers .
We use a range of tools and technologies in the workshop but the intention is that the ‘ kit ’ or ‘ tool ’ is not the starting point . Participants think about what they want to achieve and then sell their idea to the whole group . Participants decide on a scenario that best suits their job role .

Sharing Space – and Learning to Love It

Desk sharing - often characterised or caricatured as “ hot-desking ” - can be a concept too far for people who otherwise want more flexibility .
This article , linked to below , from flexibility . co . uk - Europe ’ s leading website for smarter working , looks at the arguments for desk sharing in the context of flexible working and how to get it right . It covers a brief history of space sharing , the ‘ overwhelming ’ business case ; changing the culture of possession ; has a brief discussion about exceptions and probably most importantly has suggested policies to make desk sharing work . In our new building it will of course be up to each staff room group to discuss and decide on the policies for use , but this particular article has a good base line to begin this process .
