How can universities transform practical education in a digital-first world? 💻 👩🏽💻
At #pcf11bw, we are proud to spotlight Professor Tim Drysdale, Chair of Technology Enhanced Science Education and Director of Strategic Digital Education in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh 🎓
His pioneering work in remote labs reimagines hands-on learning, making it more scalable, engaging, and student-centered than ever before.
In his keynote, Prof. Drysdale will share the inside story of changing minds about digital education in university practical work 🔉
“There is emerging evidence that non-traditional practical work (NTPW) activities produce as good or better educational outcomes than traditional laboratories alone, suggesting that technology offers not just a replacement for existing practices, but the opportunity for enhancement.”
