Designing Authentic Learning Environments

23-25 May 2022

About

The Designing Authentic Learning Environments (TEL) Boot Camp will critically explore and apply TEL learning theories and design frameworks in online and face-to-face learning environments, with a particular focus upon dual delivery and blended synchronous learning (BSL). Concepts and example applications will be outlined in a pre-reading guide, an introductory Webinar, and illustrated by a Webinar panel of expert practitioners. This will be followed by an online workshop where participants will design and share TLAs and assessments that integrate TEL into their courses for their students with a focus upon enabling student generated projects and collaboration using their own mobile devices for BSLlite.

Suitable for

Anyone wanting to apply theoretically and practically evidenced approaches to TEL assessment design.
