Complete Details

The Association for Learning Development in Higher Education (ALDinHE) is pleased to host this regional symposium at the University of Plymouth. This event serves as a vital touchpoint for practitioners, researchers, and educational developers across the South West of England to engage with the evolving landscape of Learning Development (LD).

As Higher Education undergoes rapid transformation, this event focuses on the "Human-Centric Approach to Learning Development," exploring how we can balance technological advancements—such as generative AI—with the core values of inclusivity, empathy, and student agency. The day is designed to be interactive, moving beyond traditional lecture formats to include collaborative workshops, "lightning" practice-sharing sessions, and structured networking opportunities.

Attendees will have the opportunity to showcase emerging work, receive peer feedback in a supportive environment, and discuss localized challenges specific to the regional HE context. Whether you are a seasoned Learning Developer or new to the field, this event offers a space to recharge your practice and forge lasting professional connections. The program includes dedicated time for a "Research Incubator" segment, specifically aimed at helping attendees turn their everyday teaching observations into formal scholarship and publications.

Key Event Highlights

Interactive workshops on integrating AI into student learning support. Networking lunch with regional Learning Development practitioners. Research Incubator session to facilitate scholarly publications. Lightning talks featuring innovative "student-as-partner" projects. Collaborative problem-solving sessions for localized HE challenges.
