Maximising challenge and active learning

This full-day, face-to-face workshop is a highly interactive and engaging session where participants will develop their knowledge and skills in using technology for mastery learning.

It will focus on the benefits of encouraging active rather than passive learning and will showcase a range of approaches that can enable this. Participants will gain first-hand experience in an immersive learning games platform and an engaging discussion activity that can transform student learning in the classroom.

This gamified session will provide the opportunity for you to experience a student-centred and active learning classroom setting. Think escape rooms - linked to curriculum - that can be applied in the classroom.
