Richard Waller and Ian Stimpson attended the first meeting of a HEA "Special Interest Group" on Transitions that is looking at the challenges students face when moving from school or college to university and the ways in which this transition can be supported. Richard delivered a presentation on "Transitions in Information Literacy" which he undertook in collaboration with Peter Knight, work which continues to be supported by a Keele Teaching Innovation project.

Ian Stimpson also attended the HEA SIG on Fieldwork that is examining the current state, concerns and challenges to fieldwork and their potential solutions. He co-lead a session on "Inclusive Fieldwork" covering issues to do with sexuality, gender, class and disability, based on his work on using technology to support mobility impaired students, also supported by two Keele Teaching Innovation projects.
