Learning Dialogues
Better understanding of learning dialogues is an important element in the scholarship of Learning and Teaching. Our conference was designed to provide a forum in which effective, evidence-informed practice could be shared and debated.
The learning dialogues conference was organised around four themes:
- Learning dialogues as a professional development tool
- Virtual learning dialogues
- Learning dialogues as talk and discussion in HE settings
- Researching the student experience through learning dialogues
The conference provided an opportunity to view presentations through research papers, interactive workshops or posters.
