How academics resolve challenges in education

During this session, academics from various faculties presented on the common challenges they faced in their courses.

Presenters discussed how the Inspired Learning Initiative (ILI) Digital Uplift team enabled them to resolve these challenges through the development of new learning resources and activities, and how it changed their approach to teaching. These academics also outlined how the knowledge they gained and the training they received could be applied to other courses outside of the ILI Digital Uplift.
