The Technology PlayPen
Half-day workshop, Wednesday 20 November 2019, University of Liverpool in London
There is an array of online applications available to support students learning in offline and online learning environments and it is continuously growing and advancing. It can be confusing and overwhelming to choose an application that fits the needs of an educator and those of their students at a particular level and in a particular subject. Working with our event partners, the Centre for Management Learning, participants will explore the usability, suitability, applicability and practicality of such applications for UG and PG teaching in a business school context.
The purpose of this half-day workshop is to introduce a range of platforms and applications, and support academics in their decision making in what, when, how, where and why to use certain applications to enhance online and offline student learning.
This workshop will be delivered by three academics from Surrey Business School's Centre for Management Learning, who all have in-depth experience of various applications at UG and PG level with management students. They will facilitate the exploration of various applications such as: Padlet, Mentimeter, Blippar, Canva, Secure Canvas, as well as alternatives to Kahoot such as Slack, edublogs, and Socrative.
Participants will need to bring a laptop or tablet. Guidelines will be issued in advance.
