Extractions: Birkbeck has a long and esteemed reputation in the use of innovative teaching techniques. It was one of the first higher education institutions in the country, if not the world, to enable students to study from home via the internet. As the new Teaching and Learning Technology Officer, my role is to support academics as they continue this tradition of innovation. I have spent my first few weeks on the job learning about current practice at the college. These are some of my findings: There is plenty of enthusiasm and excitement about technologies like the internet. Academics want more information about tools that are easy to learn, reliable and, most important, pedagogically valid. Use of IT skills are becoming an inherent part of Birkbeck courses, not just something added on at the last minute. So students develop expertise and confidence with computers. Entering students need a fast orientation so that they can take advantage of the facilities here. Many departments organise special training sessions to meet this need. CCS also offers training courses. The College remains committed to the idea of face-to-face teaching with the use of IT tools to enhance and expand student learning.

Extractions: e-mail: EEEN@projekte.org The objective of the Teach-ins is to take advantage of the participant's expertise at the Hannover Conference, and to offer this expertise to other participants through various intensive training sessions. The focus of the training will be on issues such as effective implementation of management instruments and tools, and specific skills and behaviours which are increasingly required when coping with today's environmental challenges in local government. The teach-ins will take place during the conference and/or in addition to it, in different venues in Hannover. A teach-in will last for approximately six hours. Each of them will be conducted by one or two trainers who have profound knowledge on their topic (though not necessarily professional experiences as trainers). They are expected not only to present concepts to the participants, but to show how to use them by applying them in different ways and situations. A certificate for successful attendance will be provided to the teach-in participants after the sessions. Preferred language is English. In exceptional cases it might be possible to organise Teach-ins in other conference languages, i.e. in French, Spanish, Russian or German.

At the University of York, and in the Department of Computer Science, undergraduate programmes last for three or four taught years. If you took a one-year placement in industry in between your second and third taught years, the total duration of your programme would then be either four or five years. Those are nominal durations, since you would actually enter the University in the October of your first year and leave in the June of your final year.

For comments, or story ideas, please contact Naturejobs at naturejobseditor@naturedc.com Top of page To juggle teaching and research, classroom veterans advise beginners to draw on mentors and all the resources they can find. Kendall Powell learns about the balancing act. When Carol Thornber took her first faculty position last autumn, she inherited teaching responsibility for two undergraduate courses. Although Thornber, a marine ecologist, had to some extent been prepared by a unique postdoctoral training programme, making the transition from student to lecturer was far from plain sailing. Her autumn course in upper-level marine botany, at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, had her scrambling to learn East Coast species of algae and scouting field-trip sites. Her spring class, introductory biology for some 130 first-year undergraduates, had her struggling with endless administrative duties. But by the middle of the year, Thornber says, she had made a discovery that changed the way she worked. G. SCHUSTER/PHOTO-AG/CORBIS
