Forthcoming MmIT event - June - London TBC
Exploring information literacy
pedagogies through sonic objects
In this interactive workshop, participants will be
encouraged to experiment with sound using
digital and analogue tech, then relate these
experiences to teaching practices, strategies and
approaches to learning within a context of
teaching information literacy.
Themes will be emergent on the day, but the
workshop design encourages exploration of the
following: assumptions about group learning,
group dynamics, lived experience of teaching
and learning, session design and digital learning.
