We are just over a month away from our annual learning and teaching conference, taking place between 10-12 September 2024.

You can book your place online.

There are many highlights to this year’s programme and we are grateful to colleagues for sharing their innovative teaching practices with us.

The conference starts with an online keynote and workshop from Professor Lisa Taylor (University of East Anglia). Professor Taylor will introduce how employability can be embedded in the curriculum before highlighting her pioneering work around work-based online placements.

In the subsequent workshop, colleagues will be given the opportunity to apply these principles to their own disciplines. Professor Taylor’s abstract provides further information.

Building on Professor Taylor’s session, colleagues from across the University will be sharing their approaches to embedding employability in the curriculum, culminating in a workshop from Bev Herring on curriculum design for employability development.

As well as employability, we have sessions on:

• Using AI in Learning and Teaching
• Decolonising curricula
• Neurodiversity in Education
• Approaches to team-taught teaching
• Enhancing student engagement
• Simulation-based learning
• Trauma informed teaching

And so much more.

This conference is free for Aberystwyth University staff and students to attend.
