About this Event

About the event

This interactive workshop supports participants to move from theory to practice by collaboratively redesigning programmes, modules or elements of provision for lifelong learners. Building on the preceding lecture, it uses a charrette-style design process to explore how evidence about student lives, engagement and belonging can inform practical pedagogic decisions.

Participants will work with prompts drawn from the Being, Belonging, Becoming (BBB) survey and related research to challenge assumptions about availability and engagement, and to identify where existing designs may unintentionally exclude learners at different life stages. The session explores how assessment, interaction and programme coherence can be adapted to support flexible and modular participation while maintaining academic standards.

The workshop is collaborative and cross-role, welcoming academic and professional services staff, students and others involved in learning design or student experience. No prior expertise is required.
