Overview
Dialogue can play a pivotal role in enhancing learning, teaching, and assessment in Higher Education. Open, constructive conversations between students, educators and peers can foster deeper understanding and critical thinking.
This event is an opportunity to explore some of the latest research relating to the value of dialogue for learning. The event will include keynote presentations and a panel discussion, as well as an opportunity, in small groups, to discuss various approaches to dialogue as tools for effective learning.
We hope that through this event you will gain insights into practical strategies for integrating dialogue into curriculum design, teaching methodologies and assessment practices. By highlighting the reciprocal nature of dialogue, the event will showcase how it not only supports student engagement and motivation but also enriches the overall educational experience.
