Programme
The programme is designed to provide a range of opportunities
for dialogue about teaching and learning. There will be keynote
presentations, panel sessions, paper presentations and workshops
and an activity session for posters and demonstrations. There
will also be an opportunity to engage in loosely structured
dialogue as we explore further the question "what is student
engagement?"
