Our Experience
Key themes included human-centered learning design, iterative course development, and AI integration, all shaping the future of EdTech. Accessibility and inclusion were also central topics, emphasising universal design and the importance of lived experiences in creating inclusive environments.
Collaborative course development emerged as a growing trend, where educators, students, and technologists should work together to create flexible, personalised learning experiences.
These themes align closely with the role of digital assessment tools, which can streamline and personalise assessments, offering greater flexibility for diverse student needs.
The Jisc “Beyond Blended” session was particularly impactful, focusing on reimagining curriculum and learning design, with more info available from Helen Beetham & Sarah Knight.
“As the 2024/25 academic year gets underway, we look forward to continuing discussions and engaging actively with the ALT community.
Active participation allows us to stay agile and responsive to the evolving needs of our partners and the broader educational sector.”
