Programme
Celebration of scholarships Connecting the lights
24 to 26 October 2023
Across the Higher Education landscape, institutions are responding to shifts towards new ways of enhancing learning, teaching, assessment and scholarship through digital transformation. Participate in this year’s programme by spotlighting your best practice and research. Shine the light on your institutional context, how you use informal learning spaces and how you are re-imagining the learning
and teaching experience for students. Are you collaborating on curriculum design, quality assurance, pedagogy or digital disruption? Connect with colleagues again in round-table discussions to share lightbulb moments!
In a practical sense, load shedding, generators, and solar panels feature in planning, learning and teaching spaces. Join the HELTASA project teams throughout the academic year as you engage in opportunities that will bring you together from different pathways at the national event from 23 to 27 October 2023.
Is there ‘light at the end of the tunnel’? The North-West University invites you to register! Let us spotlight the scholarly engagement of Higher Education practitioners and sustain the conversations at the HELTASA (Un)Conference 2023!
