CELT Seminar Series Semester 1 2025/2026

CELT hosts regular seminars during term time on a variety of topics, sharing practice, introducing new ideas, promoting services, and highlighting topical issues. These hybrid sessions interleave discussions about teaching and learning with technology-focused overviews, and provide a mix of internal, national and international perspectives.

The one hour sessions are generally held on a Thursday 12-1, and have both in person and remote attendance options.

Through this series, we aim to establish a forum in which people can share and discuss ideas with one another, and learn about what's happening across the university and beyond.
