Staff need(s) the workshop will address
I’d like some strategies for adapting my session/s when things don’t go to plan.
I’m interested in some new ideas for supporting active learning in my sessions.
I’m having problems engaging my students with my Pre-Session tasks. How can I adjust things to address this?
To sign up to a workshop, please book through LibCal here.

- plan meaningful learning activities for your sessions which are aligned with module learning outcomes and the pedagogical approach of active, blended learning.
- explore a range of ‘typical’ challenges tutors can face in a session and consider how your plan/s could be adapted or supported so that learning stays on track.
- find out what methods have been successfully used by others and share any techniques that have worked for you.
- explore strategies for integrating in-session, pre-session and post-session activities to enhance student engagement.
