Lessons learned from the COVID-19 response: Academic Development (HERDSA) & TELedvisors (ASCILITE) virtual symposium

This virtual symposium is a joint collaboration between the TELedvisors ASCILITE and HERDSA Academic Development SIGs (Special Interest Groups). Attendees will need to register via Eventbrite.

In the response to COVID-19, higher education rapidly shifted its teaching and learning online. E-learning support and academic developers were at the front of supporting these efforts. In this virtual symposium, we take stock of what we learned from our joint efforts, what went well, issues we ran into, how those got resolved. We will also discuss what opportunities emerged, and how we can support the teaching and learning in our institutions post-response, in a COVID and post-COVID world to inform the strategic discussions at our institutions.

1. Supporting academics in the response: Successes and challenges in rapidly moving teaching and learning online
2. From response to business-as-usual in classroom teaching and learning: what do we keep from our teaching during the response and why?
3. Higher education post COVID-19, what will it look like and how can we support strategic change and good practice moving forward?
4. What can we learn from others?

Further details including a more detailed program and links Zoom sessions/rooms will be made available closer to the date, to those who register. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/academic-development-herdsa-teledvisors-ascilite-virtual-symposium-tickets-114049212264
