Dynamic Teaching Showcase June 2025

Over 20 colleagues enjoyed a lively and enriching seminar last month to learn ways in which academics are using lightboards plus surprisingly-innovative uses of Teams to enhance their teaching in a number of varied ways. We discussed the challenges (e.g. access to/storage of lightboards, training and testing, accessibility - captioning maths videos, relationships with suppliers) and the benefits (e.g. supporting hyflex/blended learning, and encouraging improved course redesign).

Huge thanks to our fantastic speakers, Sue, Dan, Rich and Ken, for taking the time to present some excellent and thought-provoking talks, and for all who came. Thank you also to the team at the University of London, who let colleagues loose on the lightboard in their studio.

• Using Lightboards to create dynamic teaching videos:
