Hosts: This conference is jointly organised by the University of Glasgow (UofG) and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) and will be an in-person event with some online elements. The conference program will be available later.
Aims
This conference aims to provide a platform for academics, researchers, students, technologists and professionals from the educational sector and industry from the UK and China to come together to share their research findings and knowledge on teaching and learning methodologies and innovations in educational technology.
Scope
Educational technology is revolutionising higher education by harnessing digital tools and platforms to enhance teaching and learning experiences. This innovative approach transcends borders, giving rise to transnational education, which enables students to access educational opportunities beyond their home countries. However, this global expansion also presents challenges, including adapting curricula to different cultural contexts, ensuring equitable access to technology, and addressing language barriers. This forum aspires to showcase the difficulties and prospects presented by technologies in transnational education. It intends to recognise and examine appropriate teaching methods in the realm of technology utilisation while also pursuing evidence-based practices.
