Campus conference to explore inclusive and engaging teaching
29 June 2023
This year’s Teaching & Learning (T&L) Conference will explore how inclusive and engaging teaching can support student attendance.
The Centre for Quality Support and Development (CQSD) is hosting the Teaching & Learning Summer Event, which takes place at Whiteknights campus, on Thursday 13 July. It is the first such event conference to take place in person since January 2020.
Emily Nordmann from the University of Glasgow will deliver the morning keynote session on her work around Supporting Inclusive Education in HE with Lecture Recordings.
Other sessions during the day will continue on these themes, allowing colleagues to share ideas and hear about work going on within the institution.
The event will finish with lunch and a marketplace, providing an opportunity for colleagues to meet each other and find out about further initiatives happening within T&L at Reading.
Colleagues can come along for some or all of the day, but are asked to register for each session they wish to attend in advance on UoRLearn. A full programme and booking links can be found in the table below. If you have any questions please contact Jo Cordy (j.cordy@reading.ac.uk).
