Who should attend?

Staff who are new to teaching, who do not feel comfortable with technology and wish to discover how some technologies could enhance their teaching or support for learners, within both classroom settings and online environments.

Using examples from Imperial and elsewhere, the workshop will examine the ways in which technologies can be used to create new and exciting teaching and learning experiences. Participants will consider their own teaching contexts and evaluate how such tools might be applied to their practice. There will be an opportunity to discuss some of the benefits and challenges of using these technologies and to identify any further support required to implement changes.

This workshop is the first step when it comes to technology use for teaching and learning. If you run online courses or already integrate a range of technologies successfully in your teaching then look into the training offered by your Faculty Learning Technologies teams as this might be more appropriate for you at this stage.
