With all of us suddenly shifting to online teaching, this is the perfect time to hear from innovators who were engaging their students online before the COVID-19 crisis. This symposium is being convened by the Centre for the Study of Higher Education.  As the symposium will be conducted virtually, participants will also be able to experience different methods of online teaching first hand from a learner perspective.

The event kicks off with a live session on virtual lecturing at 13.00 on 7 May. That session will also be recorded for access for those who cannot participate in the live event.

To ensure maximum flexibility for academics juggling multiple commitments during this difficult time, the other symposium papers will be available online either as short papers or short videos, with facilitated discussion boards from 7 May to 16 May.

Log on anytime during that period to see how colleagues are making the most of Moodle and engaging students in discussions online.  Use the discussion boards associated with each session to ask questions or share your own experiences. Feel free to connect with paper presenters individually for more in-depth discussion.

You can self-enrol on Moodle at  where you will also find links to the live events on 7 May.
