Creating the conditions for education change to flourish: Thursday 23 May
Higher education institutions have a lot of freedom to make decisions about curriculum and pedagogy. But the internal strategies they adopt and external quality frameworks that apply create the context for efforts to transform curriculum and pedagogy – and beliefs and cultures around education change that can enable, or create barriers to, innovative practice. In this Education Espresso, we’ll explore how institutional strategies around education can navigate these potential tensions and create practical space for education change. And we’ll take a look at the tangible effects on pedagogy of different national models for assessing academic quality.

Mobilising place as the context for developing students’ skills: Thursday 29 February
Universities exist in places and make commitments to realising their educational and research mission through engagement with their places. At the next Education Espresso, we’ll hear from educators whose teaching is embedded in places, creating opportunities for students to develop a range of valuable skills, as well as a deeper connection to and sense of belonging in their locales.

Making space for creative thinking and pedagogic innovation: Tuesday 12 December 2023
Innovation often happens when diverse perspectives come together to tackle shared challenges. Success in adopting digital tools and developing innovative digital pedagogic practice takes time and space – yet time, space, and opportunities to collaborate can be in short supply in higher education.
In our final Education Espresso of 2023, we’re asking how universities can make space for educators to be creative, grow in confidence, and develop new skills and ideas – and what sort of physical and conceptual spaces can best support that work.

How do students want to learn about AI?
AI is set to transform the world that students are graduating into, whether it is creating new jobs or reshaping those that already exist. Graduates across the disciplines will need to know how to mobilise their knowledge in the context of an AI-infused world, as well as make effective and thoughtful use of digital tools and technologies that have AI integrations. Concern about how to assess students in the era of Chat-GPT is evolving into a wider conversation about how building students’ AI literacy might integrate into existing curriculum frameworks and assessment strategies.
Students are generally aware of these shifts and eager to know how they can use AI tools appropriately in their learning and assessment. Drawing on insight from students, this Education Espresso event explores how universities are rethinking pedagogy and assessment in the context of AI.
