EDIN’s AGM will take place on Thursday 27th May 2021, preceded by a Workshop, Emerging Issues IV: Changing Contexts, from 11am.
Keynote Speaker: Professor Siân Bayne (Professor of Digital Education, University of Edinburgh)
We are delighted to welcome Professor Siân Bayne as our Keynote Speaker (https://sianbayne.net). Siân is Director of the Centre for Research in Digital Education, and teaches on Edinburgh’s MSc in Digital Education. She is also Director of Education at the Edinburgh Futures Institute. Her research focuses on higher education futures, interdisciplinary approaches to researching digital education, and digital pedagogy. Many colleagues will have seen her publication of the Manifesto for Teaching Online in 2020, which provided a platform for debate, reflection and inspiration for all of us teaching online, and challenged us to rethink our approaches to using educational technologies. As we progress through what we hope to be the latter stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is timely to think about our changing educational contexts and how we will continue to develop and enhance learning and teaching in our institutions online and on campus.
