Getting the most out of the Coventry University Group Staff Conference 2022

The 2022 Coventry University Group Staff Conference has a different structure compared to previous events. The conference activities will consist of a sharing practice event on the 23^rd June (12:00 - 17:15) and this will be followed by a series of development sessions in the week commencing 27^th June.

The conference is aimed at all staff in the University involved in delivering and supporting teaching, learning and the student experience. The conference themes are: student support; teaching and learning delivery; learning design; access, participation and inclusion; and assessment.

The 23^rd June event will be on-campus, across different locations, recognising that not everyone will be able to travel to one location. The locations being used are; Coventry University ECB; Coventry University London Campus; CU Scarborough; and Wroclaw.

23^rd June 2022

The sharing practice sessions will be primarily workshops consisting of short 10 minute presentations. Each sharing practice workshop will be one hour in duration, consisting of four 10 minute presentations with time for questions
In addition to the sharing practice sessions there will also be:
- Opening plenary from Ian Dunn. Ian will be at Coventry University and his presentation will be broadcast to the other venues
There will be three longer workshops:
- ‘Technicians Make it Happen’ (one hour)
- Access and Widening Participation (30 minutes)

As conference participants and presenters will be located at different campuses all the sessions will be delivered in hybrid mode; allowing the different locations to join together for each workshop.
