EduFest 2026 brought colleagues from across the University together for a week of inspiring talks, workshops and opportunities to share ideas. With around 60 people attending each session on average, the event created a vibrant space for colleagues to learn from one another, explore new approaches to teaching, and reflect on how we can continue to enhance the student learning experience.<\/p>\n

Monday 15th June<\/h2>\n

EduFest 2026 kicked off with a welcome from Christopher Bonfield, who set the scene for the week ahead. He reflected on the key themes that would run throughout EduFest, including inclusive education, generative AI, curriculum development and student engagement. The opening session also marked a special milestone as the Centre for Learning and Teaching celebrated its 10th anniversary<\/strong>, recognising a decade of supporting and championing learning and teaching across the University.<\/p>\n

The morning talks explored different ways of creating engaging and inclusive learning experiences. Colleagues shared examples of using educational games to develop decision-making skills, active learning approaches that encourage collaboration and critical thinking, and research into making oral presentation assessments more inclusive and supportive. Together, the sessions demonstrated how thoughtful teaching design can help build students' confidence, participation and professional skills.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, colleagues showcased how tools such as Mentimeter, H5P and Xerte are being used across the University to make learning more interactive. Through practical examples, presenters demonstrated how technology can support active participation and enrich the student learning experience when combined with effective pedagogical design.<\/p>\n
