UCL has been holding internal teaching and learning conferences in a variety of forms to share interesting practice and stimulate discussion for nearly 20 years.
Every year the UCL Education Conference brings together the UCL education community to share innovative and exciting practice and highlight solutions to perennial challenges in education. This year’s theme is Tomorrow’s world, today’s learners – how will our education prepare graduates for future challenges and opportunities?
Staff and students will present in a range of formats sharing their perspectives and experiences on education around the four sub-themes:
- 21st-century learners
- The modern and future higher education classroom
- A fast-changing graduate employment market
- Wellbeing and care in higher education
Sessions are designed to facilitate discussion among the whole UCL community.
Asynchronous sessions
On this Reflect blog, you will find a number of interesting asynchronous sessions for which we thank our contributors. The organisers hope that this blog will act as a hub for engagement before, during and after the day itself, and comments are enabled for UCL staff and students.
There is a list of all the asynchronous sessions on the Teaching and Learning Portal under the heading Conference blog posts but if you know who or what you’re looking for, the Search box, Recent posts or Post Themes & Categories blocks on the right should get you there from anywhere on this site.
