SEDA/SHED Spring Teaching, Learning and Assessment Conference 2020
This conference will focus on what a university education could/should achieve and what we need to do to confront and resolve these questions.
Thanks to the collaboration between SEDA and SHED (Scottish Higher Education Developers), this conference provides a unique opportunity to compare policies and practice across the UK and learn from others’ experience.
The conference will be useful for all staff involved in some level of academic development at higher education, whether as individual academic, course/programme leader, learning developer, learning technologist, library professional and/or member of an educational development unit or service.
