Theme overview
The Innovative Pedagogy theme includes research exploring new technologies in teaching and assessment, the incorporation of various digital technologies in learning and assessment to promote student engagement and outcomes. It also covers research into the use of Generative AI, its detection, and its assistance in the production of quality scientific writing and reports. Student-centred approaches such as co-creation, promoting student voice and participation, is equally a key aspect of innovative pedagogy.
This includes research into novel experimental design, collaboration in the collection and analysis of big data sets, student creation of learning materials, and initiatives designed to address key sustainable development issues. Given the cutting-edge nature of this theme, the scope of research is not limited to the specific examples given here and will continue to evolve with time. So, whatever your creative ideas are, you are welcome!
