Open Evenings/publicity for new spec and why to do geography at .......college/school
Many of us are in the throes of publicising our Depts for prospective AS students- the attached doc may help as a summary for staff and also any students helping who are unfamiliar with the new course- NB THIS ONLY SHOWS SOME OF THE COURSE, NEEDS CUSTOMISING!!!!

Rebranding and crowded coasts in one hit
My centre will be looking for study sites which meet the requirements of several AS module options at once- so this case study of a UK coastal sea side resort undergoing decline being regenerated mainly by its new artificial reef is perfect- and its near enough for our students to visit on fieldwork!
And there are many interested parties , some for- some against
As a starting point the Guardian and BBC websites are useful

I'm Sue Mead and I came to your session in Holborn just after Easter. You tried to send me some files but they didn't work. Any chance you could do so at some stage. I've now joined this ning and think its an excellent idea.
Am off to Namibia on World Challenge on the 15th July but will se what possibilities there are out there for case stuudies.
regards
Sue
I will need to improve my knowledge of NING formatting first, but will have a go...
I attended the weekend conference at the end of April. Thanks for your session, it was really useful. However, i have a few things i need to ask you about. They are mainly to do with the old spec i'm afraid. We are a new centre and are doing the A2 course for the first time this year. I am confused about the Global Futures coursework deadline. I can't find any information about it anywhere (i.e. when it must be with the moderator). I have been sent a sheet that looks a little like an OPTEMS form but it says for the invigilator to sign it. Do the students take the work along to their exam? If you could help that would be great.
Also, at the conference you showed a slide with guidance on planning an essay (by annotating the question). But this was missing from the file I saved on my memory stick. It was very useful, is there any way i could get hold of a copy?
Many thanks
