Inclusive and Engaged Learning
Date: Friday 13th March 2020
As we move into a new decade, the challenge of supporting increasingly diversified and ever-changing demographics is becoming key. Technology provides superb opportunities, but we are only just beginning to understand how we should leverage them. The focus of the 2020 Learning and Teaching Conference was how education can change in order to meet the needs of all learners. It solicited contributions on the themes of:
- Creative and innovative learning methods
- Building inclusive learning communities
- Inter-cultural perspectives in the curriculum
- Diverse learning and assessment strategies
- Novel approaches to learning
Keynote Speaker: Dr Yota Dimitriadi, University of Reading “Reflections on disability, inclusion & accessibility in academia“
