Book of speakers
The fifth Profformance+ Webinar focuses on the topic of inclusion and diversity. The speakers represented those good practices which scored well at the PROFFORMANCE Higher Education Teacher Award. In the plenary session, they present 7-minute summaries of examples of their innovative teaching and learning practices. This includes:
- Brief info about the institution and the programme in which the method has been applied
- Main topics
- Challenge/problem – objective
- Methodology of implementation
- Technology, tools used
- Outputs/Outcomes/Impacts
- Lessons learnt (success factors/mistakes to avoid)
- Adaptability, transferability to other disciplines
The plenary session will be followed by parallel breakout sessions – a targeted learning activity in which the speakers will present their practice in more detail and they will provide a ’recipe’ for implementing it. You will also see demonstrated some practical examples of the practices.
In this way you can gain better insights about the applicability of the presented practices and have the opportunity to engage in a group discussion around it, its applicability and transferability, important factors to consider, mistakes to avoid while implementing the specific examples, etc. Breakout sessions provide space for collaboration, networking and resource sharing on innovative teaching and learning practices.
