A series of monthly institution-wide sessions aimed at colleagues in Schools understand the basics of Blackboard Ultra and get to grips with the features they will be expected to use when setting up and delivering modules and assessing learning. \nA key feature of these sessions will be to help colleagues design impactful learning experiences on the VLE\, ensuring that the VLE becomes an expansion of the learning ecosystem. \nIn addition to these monthly sessions\, we encourage you to reach out to us for one-to-one coaching on course design on the VLE via elearning@tees.ac.uk. \nWe have prepared a starter kit for all staff here: https://eatsupport.tees.ac.uk/staff/knowledgebase/staff-quick-start-guide-to-blackboard-ultra/for and a comprehensive self-study CPD package of learning here: https://blogs.tees.ac.uk/lteonline/2021/10/05/blackboard-ultra-self-study-cpd-2/ \nTo book a place on this session please click here.

SUMMARY:LTExChange Symposium Event - 3. "The Connected Student – The Value of Student-Staff Partnership Work in Preparing for a Globally Connected World”
DESCRIPTION:Focus for 2023-24 LTExChange Symposia Series: “The Connected University” \nUniversities and educators have had to adapt to the demands of changing patterns of work and student learning\, with the enactment of academic practice occurring across a multitude of inter-connected\, digital\, and physical environments. Relatedly\, emerging innovations in digital technology are rapidly shifting expectations\, practices\, and discourse around what matters most in effective curriculum and learning design\, necessarily extending the locus of student learning experiences beyond the classroom\, placing particular emphasis on nurturing social connection and responsible action. In response\, as educators our learning and teaching designs increasingly need to be enacted as ‘more than digital’ (Gourlay\, 2023) in being flexible and networked\, agile and connected\, engaging students and staff as partners in authentic practice communities that recognise and equip students with the skills to function in culturally diverse environments. Such connectivity encourages students to respect and value differences\, while being able to critically reflect on\, and practically work with\, local and global perspectives within and across specific disciplines. Indeed\, it has never been more important for universities to take an affirmative\, open position on the (possible) future(s) of higher education provision and the multiplicity of connections to people\, place\, and community it affords. \nThe annual LTExChange Symposia Series will bring together and engage key stakeholders to support new thinking and share practice innovations as we consider what it means to be a truly “Connected University” in what is an increasingly uncertain higher education landscape. Through the series we will be considering\, more specifically\, what it means for the university\, staff and students to be ‘globally connected’ and how we can prepare our staff and students to adapt and develop ‘socially and ethically engaged’ approaches to learning that will meet future challenges. \nThe 2023-24 Symposium series aims to provide designated space and scope for interrogating a range of theoretical and applied interpretations and perspectives and generating collaborative\, reflexive discussions\, and debate. \n2023-24 LTExChange Symposia Series \nLTExChange Symposium 3: 24th April 2024 – “The Connected Student – The Value of Student-Staff Partnership Work in Preparing for a Globally Connected World” – Professor Alison Cook-Sather (Bryn Mawr College\, US). \nTo book a place on this session please click here
