Learning & Teaching Festival 2021

Addressing the landscape for learning and teaching post-Covid 

The TEL Team are proud to present our summer online programme aimed at celebrating the innovative teaching from the past 18 months, and to help prepare us for the expectations of incoming students. 

Now that we're able to get back into the classroom, what newly developed skills will we bring with us? How can technology help to augment and enhance the valuable face-to-face teaching time that we have so missed?

These sessions are written to be a mixture of "why" and "how" and are designed to encourage participation and discussion.
