Join us for Edufest ‘online’ 2025, day 1 of our annual Learning & teaching conference.

Using technology, interactive and immersive digital environments, and experimental approaches that challenge traditional teaching methods can create inclusive and engaging learning experiences for all learners. Innovative learning in the online space may involve the adoption of creative, novel approaches that leverage digital platforms and tools to enhance the learning experience; it might encompass how you encourage students to explore and take an active role in virtual classrooms; or it may be an approach you have developed to help students engage deeply with course material in ways that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and long-term retention of knowledge.

This years’ keynote speaker is Professor Chie Adachi, Dean for Digital Education at Queen Mary, University of London. Chie is a passionate educator and researcher for the transformational power of digital education, and will be focusing on ‘Building an online community’.

During our online EduFest 2025, we will hear from UoB colleagues experience of innovation for online delivery – whether it’s a fresh approach that has significantly boosted student engagement and attainment of learning outcomes, or sharing the lessons learned from an experiment that didn’t work as expected, both are equally valid.
