A week of special webinars and discussion sessions to wrap up the year.
To bring this calendar year to a positive end, the SEDA Winter Festival offers a range of presentations and workshops over the week of December 14-18.
The programme covers a wide range of educational change and development – from ways to foster our learners’ inner feedback, through various individual and institutional responses to the Covid crisis and moves to virtual teaching and online support, including both staff and student perspectives, with contributions from across the UK and from China.
The latest SEDA Paper publication is highlighted in the session on metrics and managerialism and we include new creative solutions to enhance our pedagogy such as the Journal of Imaginary Research.
Each session offers critical analysis of important issues alongside suggestions and approaches which we can apply to our own context while we adjust to whatever might turn out to be the ‘new normal’.
You can sign up for individual sessions or book for the whole week.
All sessions will be recorded and will be available exclusively to delegates for the next six months. After this date, they will be open access on the SEDA website.
The workshops will be presented via Zoom on 14 December 1-2pm, 15 December 1-2pm, 16 December 1-2pm, 17 December 1-2pm & 18 December 11am-12pm. You can attend all or individual sessions.
