Planning the New Normal Higher Education Landscapes and Screenscapes that work for all at Imperial
Preparations for online learning have sharpened the question of inclusion. Many of us – staff and students – feel ‘locked out’ of our classrooms and labs and intellectual communities. This conference is a space for surfacing the problem, and the way it appears at different stages of the staff and student journeys – course design, the experience of teaching and learning, and our academic identities.
PLAN: Prepare Learning for All Needs Presenters
Two sides of the same coin - why taking account
when planning our programmes can't be ignored. Facilitators: Katie Stripe | Senior Learning Designer and Dallas Alexandrou | Operation Manager
