Join us for a thoughtful discussion with four distinguished panellists who navigate these challenges.

Spark on a black background

Universities increasingly need to justify themselves with evidence – from the TEF requiring metrics to Advance HE's requiring proof of “evidence-based practices”. Accessible overviews like How Learning Happens have made educational research evidence more accessible  and guides like Evidence-Informed Learning Design has made the path to evidence-informed practice clear.

Yet despite some trailblazing work – and a lot of big talk on social media sites – so many teaching practices remain unmoored from evidence.

How do we make evidence a starting point for learning design? Where do we start? How do we judge? Where can we turn?

Join us for a thoughtful discussion with four distinguished panellists who navigate these challenges:

The discussion will be facilitated by Leonard Houx, CODE fellow and Director of Learning Design, Cambridge Education Group.
