7th London School of Business and Management
Teaching and Learning Conference 2017
The annual London School of Business and Management Teaching and Learning Conference brings together established and emerging academics, practitioners and policymakers interested in teaching and learning in a widening participation context. The 7th conference serves as an exploratory platform for sharing ideas, research and experience with professionals from across the Higher Education sector. Additionally, it offers great opportunities to extend professional networks, forge new collaborations, broaden core expertise and, most importantly, foster reflection on improving current practices of teaching and learning.
The programme of the conference will reflect the following theme: Taking Education Further!
It focuses on:
- Students as Partners
- Curriculum Design and Innovation
- Educational Technology and Engagement
- Enterprise and Employability
- Assessment
With the launch of the TEF by HEFCE, UK HE institutions are reflecting on their teaching practices to highlight the strengths of what they do and how they provide for and support their student populations. The Taking Education Further theme aims to tease out such reflections to celebrate the good practice and innovation across the sector and to give these a professional platform to be shared across the community.
This conference focuses on the extent to which educators and institutions must go to provide a rich student experience and an engaging and inclusive learning environment for all. The conference will cover a range of topics directly related to teaching, learner support, engagement, design and delivery methods, as well as technological innovations leading towards efficacy in teaching and learning.
The conference invites contributions from educators who are pushing boundaries, innovating and redefining their teaching to positively impact the futures of those in higher education.
