This is an online webinar. The session is free and will be conducted in English.
Whilst a significant number of institutions which responded to a recent Universities UK survey have confirmed plans to provide some in-person teaching at the start of the coming academic year, the impact of the current crisis has reiterated the importance of recognising online instruction as a core component in the future plans for institutional resilience and sustainability. As institutions pivot to continue embracing technology, there is an emerging need to consider the broader implications of embedding virtual teaching and learning into higher education institutional strategies.
- How can various stakeholders collaborate to identify and to address challenges faced by students and faculty with regard to access to infrastructure and technology
- How are faculty being supported to effectively adapt curriculum, redesign pedagogy and deliver quality content whilst providing sufficient pastoral care for students who are studying remotely?
- How are issues concerning the mental health and socio-emotional wellbeing of students and faculty, especially those from marginalised backgrounds, being addressed on the ground?
- What are ministries and universities doing to ensure that widening participation will continue to be a strategic priority despite the current challenges faced by the higher education sector?
- How can partnerships and collaborations help to shape the evolving landscape of teaching and learning in higher education, within a framework of equitable access?
Our panellists include speakers from the UK and East Asia higher education sector, ministries and industry stakeholders.
