University Learning and Teaching Conference 2017
The university's Learning and Teaching conference was co-hosted with Inverness College UHI and was held across Inverness Campus on 19-20 June 2017.
Our themes for the conference were Informing, Inspiring, and Innovating:
- Informing - sharing the ways in which our own educational practice has been shaped through evaluation, scholarship or research
- Inspiring - sharing creative and effective approaches to learning, teaching and assessment which could be adapted or reused within different subjects and contexts
- Innovating - sharing ideas and approaches that are focused on how the university may want to evolve learning, teaching and assessment into the future
