[Commlist] Virtual conference: Shifting Learning & Teaching Online

Wed Apr 14 22:08:24 GMT 2021






The /Arts Teaching & Learning Research Group/ at the University of Wolverhampton warmly invites you to an online conference on Friday, April 30th. Attendance is *FREE *of charge and open to anyone interested.

Please book via: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shifting-arts-learning-teaching-online-lessons-learnt-tickets-141980209629?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shifting-arts-learning-teaching-online-lessons-learnt-tickets-141980209629?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch>

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought many changes to education with many HE institutions having to move to online and adopting hybrid models of teaching and learning in a very short period of time. This seismic shift to online delivery has particularly impacted Arts subjects, keeping both lecturers and students away from studios. This one-day conference will explore the challenges faced by Arts and related subjects during the COVID-19 pandemic, asking questions such as: Where do we go from here in terms of teaching and learning? Will the changes triggered by the pandemic have a long-lasting impact on the way HE institutions deliver teaching and learning? How do we support the continuation of high-quality teaching and learning in the Arts in the ‘new normal’? What emerging practices are likely to survive beyond the pandemic and what will not? What lessons have we learnt?

We have an excellent lineup of speakers. Please check out the programme below and *register on Eventbrite here <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shifting-arts-learning-teaching-online-lessons-learnt-tickets-141980209629?aff=ebdssbonlinesearch>* if you want to attend.

Looking forward to seeing you on April 30th!
Thank you!

Kind regards,
Bianca Fox
