The Centre for Innovative Educational Technology is pleased to announce a call for abstracts/proposals for this year’s CPUT Teaching and Learning with Technology Day.
Date: Thursday, 30th of August 2018, 9.00-16.00
Location: To be Confirmed
Theme: Blended Learning at CPUT
Conference theme
Blending teaching, learning and assessment is a complex process that involves the development and delivery of engaging learning material, the creation of online activities to engage students, facilitation and support of online learning, online course management, and the practice of online assessment. In the context of CPUT, we define blended learning as a mix of face-to-face and online learning, depending on context, learners and content. Blended learning can accommodate a variety of learning experiences both on- and off-campus, with a varying amount of ‘distance’ between learners and lecturers. While CPUT is inherently a contact institution, it faces an increasing need to incorporate a blended educational model to adapt to changing (and often unpredictable) times.
Call for abstracts
We invite presentations from colleagues to showcase, share, inspire, train and engage in some of the most innovative thoughts, practices and experiences around using blended learning at CPUT. We encourage colleagues to focus on their current practices of using technology in teaching and learning . However, we also invite contributions that engage on a more conceptual level with the topic of blended learning and challenge our thinking beyond current practices to the future of the institution. Students’ perspectives on blended learning are welcome as well!
