In the lead-up to the 2020/21 academic year, the School of Engineering at Newcastle University were undergoing some changes to their Undergraduate delivery, looking to combine four programmes – Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Marine Engineering – into one ‘Flexible Stage One’, where Engineering students gain a good overall foundation before specialising during Stage 2.<br />
<br />
In order to accommodate the increased numbers of students, the school planned to move to a more blended learning delivery, allowing for greater flexibility in delivering lectures and lab-based activities. This also coincided with a switch to an improved VLE platform, which would enable the use of online tools to assist with remote delivery.<br />
<br />
The arrival of the pandemic meant that changes to the plan were necessary, as teaching would have to move fully online. This meant adjustments, to labs in particular, to enable students to still meet the learning objectives by completing labs remotely.<br />
<br />
In this webinar, we will discuss how we created and delivered these labs: from how they were structured in a new VLE, to the different methods used to enable students to complete the labs from home.</p>

Over the past decade, INASP (an international development organisation based in Oxford) has developed and implemented a wide range of technology enhanced learning (TEL) activities in the Global South, mainly in Africa, Asia and Latin America. These activities have primarily been targeted at adults, and often graduates, working within knowledge and research systems such as universities, libraries, scholarly journals and academic societies. Earlier this year, we carried out a comprehensive meta-analysis study of our TEL activities. On the basis of our synthesis of INASP’s evidence, we tested six key assumptions prevalent in the academic literature around TEL in the Global South. In this presentation we w highlight the unique points in INASP’s TEL activities to advance knowledge and best practice in this area.</p>

Experts from this pool can be requested by Higher Education Institutions (HEI) to facilitate (online) workshops, provide targeted input at training sessions or supply consultancy services. Jointly with the participants, we would like to explore which features of the pool might be transferable to other countries and contexts to enable HEI to provide creative and flexible staff training and development offers. We expect that this CPD session will provide concrete points for further action, possibly even leading to a collaborative project in the future. To this effect, ideas and plans coming from this session will be jointly documented on a dedicated, publicly available online board which can be used by participants for future collaborative work.</p>
<p>The Online Winter Conference will take place online 15 & 16 December, 2021. Now in its 8th year, the ALT Online Winter Conference is back to showcase some of the best Learning Technology from ALT Members from across sectors.</p>
<p>The conference is a platform for you to find out more about ALT Members work as they showcase what they have been involved with and gain feedback from peers. As with previous years, the conference is designed to be a festival of learning with the aim of increasing the impact of Learning Technology for the wider community. </p>
<p>This year, we are excited to announce that the conference will celebrate the Learning Technologist of the Year Awards for the first time. The Awards Ceremony will take place on the second day, at the closing plenary.</p>
