Elearning Symposium 2020

THE ELEARNING SYMPOSIUM IS BACK!

The theme that we have chosen this year is:

Education 4.0 revolution: transformative approaches to language teaching and learning, assessment and campus design

Modern Languages and Linguistics at the University of Southampton will hold the 13th in a series of e-learning symposia on 24th January 2020. This popular one-day event resumed successfully in 2019 following a three-year break. The event will enable participants to discuss innovative teaching and learning practices exploring the concepts of Education 4.0 and the industrial revolution 4.0.

It was at the Universities UK (UUK) conference in 2018, that JISC introduced the Education 4.0 concept. The e-Learning Symposium 2020 aims to engage language practitioners and colleagues from related disciplines, with this new concept.  Using the new scenario created by the industrial revolution 4.0 the conference intends to highlight, discuss and disseminate good practices for new trends and technologies in education in response to changing educational settings.

What are the needs of tomorrow’s language educators and learners and how are Universities getting ready to face the challenges of such a fast-paced revolution?

The department of Modern Languages and Linguistics at the University of Southampton is delighted to invite you to the eLearning symposium 2020, previously successfully run by LLAS, the Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies.

The aim of the symposium is to seek to bridge the gap between the ‘techie’ and the teacher, giving educators ideas to help them integrate e-learning into their practice but also to inspire them to see where the online future could lead. The symposium is always well-attended by practitioners from a wide range of disciplines and institutions. The one-day symposium comprises practical presentations to inspire the mind with exciting ideas about the possibilities that teaching and learning with technology offer. Attendees will experience a range of content from areas of more specific interest to our core language teaching and learning, to topics of wider interest to educators involved in e-learning. We highlight best practice in using e-learning and feature an exciting mixture of research and reflection from practice to inspire our community.
