IETI – CALL FOR ARTICLES AND REVIEWERS
Posted on: Tuesday 22 December 2015
Innovations in Education and Teaching International (IETI) is SEDA’s journal. It is published six times each year, and each issue is bursting with innovations and thought provoking articles from UK and international authors. We would like to see far more SEDA members contributing to the journal both as authors and reviewers. The journal’s focus is on innovation in university level teaching and learning, as the name suggests, and we also publish some articles on educational development. Please submit articles of up to 5000 words for peer review. For details of how to submit an article, see the
Taylor and Francis website.
If you are interested in reviewing contact either Celia Popovic (
cpopovic@yorku.ca) or Gina Wisker (
g.wisker@brighton.ac.uk) as reviewing is both a way of finding out about and contributing to the field, and for some a first step to writing for the journal. We pride ourselves on our developmental and supportive approach � so while we can�t guarantee your article will be published we can assure you that you will receive support and guidance in the form of peer review comments and suggestions.

EVENTS ON THE AUSTRALIAN SESSIONAL STAFF STANDARDS FRAMEWORK
Posted on: Monday 30 March 2015
The BLASST (Benchmarking Leadership and Advancement of Standards for Sessional Teaching) Project is funded by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching to support and enhance quality teaching by sessional staff in higher education. In acknowledgement of the contribution made by these staff, the BLASST project has established a national Sessional Standards Framework to evaluate and support the learning and teaching, management and administrative policy, procedure, and practices affecting sessional and casual teachers in higher education.
SEDA will be holding two events on the BLASST project in Newcastle and London in July this year.
