We will be holding the Birmingham City University Learning and Teaching Conference on Thursday 15th – Friday 16th July. The sessions include two key university strategy themes; Sustainability in the curriculum and Digital-enabled curriculum. Please find the programme below including links to the MSTeams sessions and calendar invites attached.
We have speakers from University of Sydney, Nottingham Trent University and Cardiff University in addition to sessions led by our own BCU Student Digital Champions and Academic staff. The Sustainability in Education sessions will include staff who have been recently shortlisted for global Green Gown awards.
The SEDA forum has been such a marvellous little community over the last year and you would be very welcome to join us.
Please feel free to disseminate to your colleagues.
Best wishes,
