Event details
With the theme of ‘Scholarship, pedagogy and practice: innovating since 1843’, this year’s Festival took place on Tuesday 26 June 2018 at the City Campus. We are thrilled that Professor Sally Brown gave the keynote, addressing the question of why we might want to research our own teaching, and how to go about doing so. Her work on academic publishing and assessment is well known and she is currently working as an Independent Consultant and Emerita Professor (Leeds Beckett University). This was a rare opportunity for us to benefit from her expertise in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
In addition to giving our keynote address, we were delighted that Sally also ran a workshop exploring how to start getting published from your own learning and teaching practice.
The Festival was full of innovative and inspiring contributions from colleagues from NTU and elsewhere including sessions exploring:
* Student engagement and active learning in large lecture settings
* Connections between employability and pedagogy
* The opportunities for scholarly activity provided by emerging delivery methods
Over two hundred colleagues came along to engage in scholarly dialogue and discussion around teaching, learning and practice.
