ASCILITE Live! Webinar: Listen to Your Edvisors – Education Technologists, Learning Designers and Academic Developers of the TELedvisors Special Interest Group

Date and Time: 12pm – 1pm AEST 25 August 2020. You’ll find session start times for different time zones here.

Abstract: 

Collectively, “edvisors” (education technologists, academic developers and learning designers and those in similar roles) occupy a critical niche in the tertiary education sector that is sometimes known as the ‘Third Space’. We sit between administration and education, providing advice and support to educators about many aspects of learning and teaching from the pedagogical to the technological.  In 2019, ASCILITE recognised the TELedvisors network for its achievements in supporting and developing this community throughout the tertiary sector.

The TELedvisors Special Interest Group opened its doors in 2017 and has now grown to nearly 500 members; conducting a wide range of online and in-person events along the way.

Join us in this ASCILITE Live! Webinar to learn more about this network’s activities and the significant contribution that people in its various roles make to learning and teaching.  We’ll also discuss some of the challenges facing those in these roles along with ways and means to work together more effectively, i.e. why you should listen to your edvisors!

Presenter: 

Colin Simpson sits on the organizing committee of the ASCILITE TELedvisors SIG. Colin is an Education Innovation Designer at Monash University and a recipient of the 2019 ASCILITE Community Fellow Award.
