UALSC Tutor update - September 2024
Summer School has come to an end and we would just like to say a big thank you from all of the UAL Short Courses team for your monumental efforts during our busiest period.
We welcome in the Autumn term which presents an array of new short courses. We also would like to extend a warm welcome to any new tutors who are teaching with us for the first time.
Every day we see students venture into creativity and we've so enjoyed watching them flourish. Whether it be their first exposure into the arts or they're a practicing professional, UAL Short Courses is there to support students wherever they are in their creative journey.
Read on to discover the latest news, events and updates this September.
Share your stories for Black History Month celebration
Dear UAL Short Courses Tutors,
As we celebrate Black History Month in October, we want to honor the culture, creativity, and resilience of our Black students, staff, alumni, and partners.
We are calling for submissions to showcase on our platforms in recognition of this important month. We would love to hear from you! Do you have a story or experience you’d like to share?
- Who is a Black creative hero that inspires you?
- Are you working on a project you'd like us to feature?
- Do you have any creative work you'd like us to spotlight? (photos, videos or other)
- What advice would you give to young Black creatives?
Please send your stories and contributions to the marketing team. You can reach Mimi at m.jones@arts.ac.uk.
We look forward to hearing from you!
UAL research
Did you know that as a member of UALSC staff you can submit any research projects you are undertaking to UAL Research Online?
For more info or to discuss your projects suitability please contact ualresearchonline@arts.ac.uk
Self-paced online courses
We are in the process of developing more online self-paced courses with the intention to significantly expand our current portfolio.
So, we are currently seeking proposals for new online self-paced courses. If you have any ideas for a course that is suitable to be delivered in this kind of format, (or wish to find out more) please send any ideas with a title and brief explanation of the what the course would entail to Laura Gnata at l.gnata@arts.ac.uk.
To find out more about the self-paced courses that we are currently offering, visit our website.
Emails used to book a short course
This is a reminder to all tutors that your UAL email address is (by necessity) linked to a UALSC company account in the system.
So, to avoid complications with invoices/billing, only personal email addresses and not UAL email addresses should be used when booking Short Courses for yourselves or others.
Tutor survey
Don't forget to complete the tutor survey! You only need to fill it in once, but if you've remembered something you want to add feel free to complete it again.
This survey is anonymous and we welcome your candour about your experiences as a Short Course tutor. It should not take more than 6 minutes to complete and is a chance for you to comment on recent changes and make suggestions for improvements
The survey responses will be collated in November, giving us an opportunity to gather responses from both summer school and term time tutors, and we plan to share the results and actions resulting from them in early 2025.
Simply scan the QR code above, or click the link below to complete the survey.
Tutor Hub
As ever, please do send suggestions for new content for the tutor hub to a.marlensummers@arts.ac.uk or your coordinator.
