SUMMARY:Engaging Students - an introduction to improvisation skills for active learning and inclusive teaching (led by Bristol Improv Theatre)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nTue 11th February 2026\, 1.30 pm – 3 pm \nVictoria Rooms G27 Recital room  \nJoin experienced performer/facilitators from Bristol Improv Theatre for an interactive Plenary workshop. We’ll introduce core concepts from improvisation through interactive activities designed to build connection and rapport in an active learning environment. This includes the improvisation concept of ‘happy fail’ and ‘leap and discover’ as tools for building bravery and resilience for teachers and learners. \n➔ Resilience: In improvisation\, we practice games where we celebrate or cheer when participants ‘get things wrong’. This can build resilience in learners because we embrace mistakes and see failure as an opportunity to grow. \n➔ Creative Facilitation: Participants are more likely to engage with learning when they feel relaxed and confident with their peers. Creative icebreaker exercises & framing can accelerate connection and trust in the learning environment. \n➔ Bravery: in improvisation we practice the tool of ‘leap & discover’ or ‘say or do the first thing’. This cultivates bravery because participants are encouraged to risk a ‘wrong’ answer. \n➔ Authenticity: Authenticity accelerates connection and reliability. We use techniques in improvisation to practice being ourselves in front of audiences. \nThis is not a performance or performing workshop. Every activity will be an invitation and offered to do in pairs or small groups\, including discussion and reflection. \nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:Trying out tablets in active learning spaces
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nWednesday 11 February 2026\n3:30 pm – 5 pm\nRoom 2.23\, Howard House \nEffective and inclusive teaching – both in the round and in active learning spaces – involves moving around the classroom to observe\, communicate with\, and support different groups of students. Using a tablet can enable you to do this while sharing\, annotating\, or co-creating learning materials. This hands-on session is an opportunity to design\, try out\, and share approaches to using tablets in your teaching. \nBy the end of this workshop\, you will be able to:\n– design effective and inclusive teaching approaches using a tablet\n– navigate practical issues involved with teaching using a tablet\n– make an informed decision about which device you will use in your teaching. \nBring your own device or borrow one of our iPads or 2-in-1 laptops to try out ideas during the session. \nFurther information: \nUsing Tablets in Active Learning Spaces and in the Round\nWhy use tablets?\n\nMobility and presence: Tablets allow teachers to move around and engage with students\, managing learning activities from anywhere in the room.\nEnhanced interaction: Effective teaching in active learning spaces and in the round relies on proximity and engagement. Tablets can support this by enabling teachers to control presentations\, annotate materials\, and manage digital tools while remaining among students rather than in a fixed position.\nSeamless facilitation: Tablets make it easier to create\, annotate\, display\, and share learning materials in real time.\n\nWhat are the potential benefits for teachers?\n\nImproved learner engagement: Being able to move around the room helps maintain attention and promotes interaction.\nFlexible teaching workflows: Teachers can switch between slides\, digital whiteboards\, polls\, apps and other resources without returning to a fixed location.\nResponsive instruction: Being able to capture\, annotate and share student contributions encourages active participation and supports adaptive teaching.\n\nWhat are the potential benefits for students?\n\nCloser\, more inclusive teaching: Students may feel more connected if teachers are mobile\, making eye contact with them\, rather than stationary at the front.\nIncreased opportunities for participation: Tablets make it easier for teachers to invite student input\, display student work or integrate tools that promote interaction.\nMore dynamic learning materials: Live annotation and shared digital content support multimodal learning experiences and can improve understanding.\n\nIn short:\nTablets can support more interactive\, flexible and engaging teaching in active learning spaces (of any shape). Their mobility\, versatility and ability to support real-time engagement offer significant benefits for teaching and learning. \nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			Like this:Like Loading...
