London LibTeachMeet Programme

Enhancing the student experience through interactivity and engagement

Thursday 12^th June 2014

With thanks to our sponsors CILIP Information Literacy Group and King’s College London Library Services for refreshments and cake!

The 2014 London LibTeachMeet is now fully booked and the waiting list is already looking busy. One way to definitely get to come along would be to sign up for one of the short presenter slots as we have a few of these left!

Is there anything that you might like to speak about for 5 minutes? The theme is ‘Enhancing the student experience through interactivity and engagement’ and sessions could be about anything that you have tried either in a face to face setting to engage with students or via online learning or distance learning remote support. Examples we came up with include using games, problem-solving activities, discussion groups, treasure hunts etc but I’m sure there are lots of other ways to engage students that you might have tried.

Do let us know if you think you might be interested in presenting or would like to talk through an idea you have.

Email:  info@ldnlibtm.info
