Digital Learning with CARE Symposium 2026

Higher education is in a period of rapid change. Students are navigating the cost-of-living crisis, staff are working through shifts in attendance and engagement, and generative AI is prompting all of us to rethink familiar approaches to teaching, learning, and assessment. But alongside the disruption sits opportunity: new tools, new practices, and new ways of working that can strengthen learning if we shape them intentionally. What worked before may no longer be enough—and there are no templated or out-of-the-box solutions. The only sustainable way forward is to find them together.

This symposium brings together educators, students, learning designers, and sector partners to explore how co-creation drives high-quality digital learning across health and medical education. Grounded in the lens of the Digital Education Studio’s CARE principles—Co-creation, Active and Authentic learning, Relational practice, and Evidence-based design—the event showcases how collaborative approaches are already improving learning experiences within and beyond Queen Mary and invites attendees to interrogate how successful practices can be scaled across programmes and institutions.

For colleagues in higher education, teaching, healthcare education and clinical training and digital learning, this symposium offers a focused space to share expertise, build cross-institutional connections, and explore how co-designed practice can advance the future of digital learning in a changing sector.
