2 Keynotes, 1 Week

This week was a busy one for CDEL as they were asked to provide keynotes for two separate conferences; the first at the "Sharing Practice: Open approaches to teaching and learning" conference held at the University of Lincoln on 21st June 2012 and the second at the "Excellent Teaching & Learning - How Can Technology Help?"conference held in Merthyr Tydfil, held for schools, FE colleges and universities taking part in the Heads of the Vallies Education Programme (HOVEP) on the 27th of June  2012.


Both keynotes showcased different aspects of  how CDEL supports staff and students within the University of Wales, Newport demonstrating the exemplar use of learning technologies employed within the university and the "pedagogy first" approach the team takes to ensure that enhancing the student experience is always the number one priority. 


Both talks were met with very positive feedback, within the conferences and online via Twitter. The new contacts made at both events are now providing the team with new opportunities to share best practice and raise the profile of the University of Wales, Newport as a whole.
