Dear All - A reminder about ALDinHE's one Visual Practices Conference:
*Look/Make/Learn: visual transformations in learning, teaching and
assessment*
You are invited to our one-day conference, hosted at London Metropolitan
University, to explore how visual learning practices are becoming more
mainstream in the digital age. Taking inspiration from a number of recent
initiatives,
including *MOOC*s,
we will explore how different kinds of visual tasks can be embedded in
classrooms, tutorials and online environments across the disciplines. We
hope this event will inform, challenge and offer practical ways to enhance
your own practice.
