Welcome
Welcome to the Brookes Learning Teaching Exhibition and Conference (BLTEC) for 2021. We are delighted to invite you to join us this year as we explore how staff and students have been teaching and learning during the last year. We have some fantastic keynotes on the conference day (Thursday 17 June) to get us thinking more about staff-student partnerships and academic advising going forward. We will also have workshops and short sessions designed to give you all opportunities to network and visit rooms in the virtual exhibition with your very own specialist room guides.
We will be using the virtual conferencing platform Hopin, to which you will receive a direct link when you register. Hopin allows you to move between sessions, chat and network all within one virtual space. As close to the ‘real thing’ as we can get, but with the bonus of your own tea, coffee and lunch! You will be encouraged during the day to connect with your fellow conference attendees during the timetabled sessions and networking spaces, take breaks and engage with the virtual exhibition. The Conference does not end there! In the week 21-25 June, you are invited to sign up for some short sessions hosted by some of the exhibitors from the virtual exhibition to discuss more with them and other exhibitors from the ‘exhibition rooms’ about their practice.
BLTEC 2021 is in itself reimaging the Art of the Possible and an opportunity to pause, review the last year and look forward to the next year and review what practices we can take forward with us in 2021/22.
Exhibition: Wednesday 16 June to Friday 25 June
The virtual exhibition will open on Wednesday 16 June and you will be able to explore the different exhibits celebrating their experiences of learning and teaching over the last year. Like all good exhibitions, it will run for more than just a day, and it will leave a legacy web presence that is a long-term reminder of the vitality of the Brookes learning community in 2021.
