Summits and Horizons:

exemplars and prospects for teaching with e-learning @UCL

CALT and ELE are hosting a series of 6 short lunchtime events between January and June where colleagues from across UCL will show how e-learning has improved teaching and learning in their subjects, and will review which technologies are likely to become significant for staff and students in the next 5 years. 

Come along to find out about a range of initiatives, including: effective use of blogs for academic purposes, using iPads for activities in lectures, concept mapping, and the 'Internet of Things'!

Sessions are open to all, and sandwiches are provided
