FW: October Teaching and Learning Conversation (TLC) - Free Webinar

 

Dear colleagues,

Our exciting new programme of regular TLCs continues this month with a webinar debating the question “Is there a role for badges in Higher Education?”.

Leading the debate on Monday 26th October 12:30-13:30 (BST) are National Teaching Fellow, Chrissi Nerantzi (Manchester Metropolitan University) and Professor Ale Armellini (University of Northampton)

The debate format of this TLC will provide participants with an opportunity to experience something different to the common, single room, large group webinar format by using breakout rooms to allow small groups to discuss the topic and formulate questions to put to the debate leaders. We hope that this will provide a very engaging and participatory webinar experience and give lots of opportunities to interact with other participants and the presenters.

Full details of this event and short positioning statements from Chrissi and Ale are available on the TLC blog: http://wp.me/p6HUdF-2I  

 We hope you will be able to join us.
