In a dedicated area of the Exhibition Hall, you will will be able to interact asynchronously with more than 20 stalls.

The Exhibition will reside on a Microsoft Teams Site with a set of channels for you to browse as virtual stalls. You will be able to interact asynchronously with stall owners using the Posts tab and learn about their initiatives through different kinds of media content.

The Exhibition will be launched on the day before the conference. Search for it then on Teams as Learn & Share Exhibition! 

 
 

Parallel Sessions

Around 50 people/units will be presenting at the conference. There are a few focusing on the digital learning platform Aula.

We will provide tips, advice and things to know about using Aula for first time for both staff and students - highlighting some of the distinctive features of Aula.

Yvonne Browne and Siham Aboujanah (Coventry University London) will be talking about the "Lessons learned from Aula with new to UK HE level 4 undergraduate students" in Session #3. 

 

​First experiences suggest that Aula sits somewhere between being an online platform and a teaching tool. This duality presents a challenge for both students and lecturers. 

 

Dr Antje Cockrill (Faculty of Business & Law) will be talking about "Aula as a platform, a teaching tool or both: First teaching impressions" in Session #19.
