Digital technologies are creating new possibilities for higher education.
In recent months we’ve seen blended learning act as the catalyst to shift teaching & learning online to digital platforms. But how is this impacting faculties and students who need to engage with maths based content within their courses?
Listen along
We invited leading practitioners from the field of higher education to join us for an online roundtable discussion to explore in greater depth how technology can support maths teaching and learning for higher education.
We delved into industry level advice on embracing a digital maths classroom, what the panel’s own personal experiences of teaching maths online looked like and how to design online content with accessibility and learner experience front of mind.
During the session you’ll also hear about:
- The challenges remote learning created for maths teaching & learning
- How technology can make maths more accessible
- Gaining faculty support to drive online learning
- Enhancing student learning experiences using digital tools
Who is this webinar for?
This webinar session is ideal for any lecturer, tutor, department head, disability & inclusion leader and teaching & learning directors who want to explore the possibilities that digital technologies can create for their maths based courses.
All degree level courses that have maths focused modules and content, including business & finance, economics, chemistry, physics & statisticial analysis, can benefit from the use of digital platforms as part of their teaching & learning.
