Ghosts in the machine? E-learning myths and legends

Aim - This interactive session aims to explore and challenge some of the prevailing myths and preconceptions
that persist around e-learning and offer examples of innovative practice drawn from across the University.

questions and express opinions.
Objectives - Following the session the participants will be able to:
• have a broader appreciation of how learning technologies can be used to enhance learning and teaching
practices;
• have a greater understanding of the role of Learning Technology Advisers and recognise their potential to
assist in the development of learning technology projects;
• have hands-on experience of using innovative, electronic voting pad technology as a means of actively
participating in a group session.
