Guidance Sessions

Due the positive response to the guidance sessions organised by the EdTech Guild, we have now extended these to run through the Autumn term.

If you are currently working on preparing or delivering multi-modal educational modules, or designing Timed Remote Assessments (TRAs), you may wish to attend one of these sessions. They are designed as opportunities for individuals and teams to discuss pedagogical or practical questions about teaching in a multi-modal way and planning remote assessments.

There will be three 1-hr sessions per week, starting from Tuesday 20^th October – Tuesdays at 12.00, Wednesdays at 15.00 and Thursdays at 09.00. 

 These sessions will be led by representatives from the Educational Development Unit, supported by the College Quality Assurance team.

 If you are interested in attending one of the sessions, please contact ltstrategy@imperial.ac.uk and provide the following information: 

• your name and those of any team members who will attend with you 
• The name of any programmes / modules you would like to discuss 
• An indication of questions or areas that would you like to talk about
• which dates you would be available to attend a session.

Please note that the number of individuals or teams per session will be capped to ensure that there is enough time given to all queries, but we will endeavour to accommodate your chosen time.
