2Introduction
Welcome to the TILT Annual Learning and Teaching Conference (ALTC) 2021!
This year we are delighted to welcome you to join us for the TILT ALTC 2021 main
conference held online 9am – 5.30pm Tuesday 14th September, and the TILT ALTC 2021
conference Fringe also held online and launching Wednesday 1st September.
The focus of this year’s conference is learning and teaching in a pandemic: opportunities,
challenged and lessons learnt.
The Covid-19 pandemic involved the expeditious adaptation of learning and teaching in
Higher Education Institutions. Now in our second year of living in the midst of a worldwide
pandemic the impacts on learning and teaching have begun to settle somewhat. Through the
lens of three Scholarship of Learning and Teaching (SoTL) themes: Active, Collaborative
Learning; Teaching, Technology, and the Pandemic; and Learning Community, TILT ALTC
2021 explores the experience(s) of learning and teaching in the midst of a worldwide
pandemic with a view to distil insights, effective practice(s) and lessons learnt to take
forward through Covid-19 and beyond.
This year’s conference includes presenters drawn from across NTU as well as external
national and international colleagues, and this booklet has been designed to:
• provide you with guidance on how to join TILT ALTC 2021 main conference
sessions and conference Fringe sessions online; and,
• provide you with the full programme for the main conference and the conference
Fringe.

Keynote Address
The pandemic of 2020-2021 challenged academics to redefine what we mean by a
university education whether delivered online or in person. What really matters, what do we
want, and what can we live without? We learned to use new tools and shared new
experiences with each other. We found ways to work together and discovered things like
Zoom fatigue and discussion boards and teams environments and padlet. And we learned
about how ‘resilient’ our pedagogies and learning communities are - what happens when our
work, learning and home environments merge into each other. Nobody was untouched by
the pandemic, and we all have stories of learning to share.
In this presentation, Stephen Downes draws on his experience and coverage of stories of
learning and teaching in the pandemic to bring together the best of what we learned over the
last two years. From the perspective of three conference themes: 1. Active, Collaborative
Learning, 2. Digital Tools and Technologies, and 3. Learning Communities, he looks at
where academics and universities excelled, where they struggled, and where they adopted
new practices that may have a more lasting impact. He summarises these into ten core
lessons we learned about learning and teaching during the pandemic, three challenges
facing us as we leverage these into a better 'new normal', and three concrete opportunities
for action we can take to facilitate improvements in teaching and learning, based on these
lessons. Please click to view Stephen talk about his upcoming keynote address.
6TILT ALTC 2021 Conference Focus
TILT ALTC 2021 explores the experience(s) of learning and teaching in the midst of a
worldwide pandemic with a view to distil insights, effective practice(s) and lessons learnt.
These issues are explored through the lens of three Scholarship of Learning and Teaching
(SoTL) themes set out below.
Theme One - Active, Collaborative Learning – a continuum of practice(s): Stories from
Lockdown / Socially Distanced Classrooms
Beyond the vital hard work of getting learning and teaching up and running in the context of
the pandemic, lay even more difficult questions of how to ensure a parity of experience
online with that of offline. Would pedagogies associated with student inclusion and
engagement and improvements in progression and attainment such as Active, Collaborative
Learning (ACL) translate / be resilient to the demands of shifting learning and teaching
modalities: online, blended learning, on-campus and mixed method?
This theme focuses on staff and student experiences of ACL during the pandemic – a
continuum of practice ranging from one or more ACL activities employed across shifting
modalities to wholescale ACL approaches i.e. SCALE-UP, and distils insights, lessons learnt
and effective practice(s) to take forward.
Theme Two - Teaching, Technology and the Pandemic: Everyday Scholarship Stories
of Digital Tools and Technologies
The Covid-19 pandemic has involved the expeditious adaptation of learning, teaching and
assessment in Higher Education Institutions. University staff and students alike have used
digital tools and technologies to pivot learning, teaching and assessment at pace across
modalities: online, blended learning, on-campus, and mixed method.
This sub-theme focuses on staff and student’s experiences of engaging with digital tools and
technologies across different learning environments, and insights and lessons learnt that
could / should shape the future of learning, teaching and assessment in HE.
Theme Three - Being Together, While Apart: Sustaining Learning Communities
through and beyond Covid
The interactive, collaborative, and social aspects of learning experiences including the
hidden curriculum, captured by the concept of Learning Community, are associated with
belonging, shared purpose and student engagement, progression, and attainment. Learning
communities are about people. A central challenge posed by Covid-19 for HEI’s has been
maintaining that strong sense of being together while physically apart.
Through the lens of ‘positive relationships’, ‘wellbeing’, and ‘Equality, Diversity, and
Inclusion’, the Learning Community theme puts centre stage staff and student experiences
of being together, while apart and distils insights, lessons learnt and effective practice(s) to
support the development of Learning Community and student experience to which we
aspire.

Value-Creating Education in a Time of Crisis (Covid-19 Pandemic):
Evidence of students achieving their Learning Outcomes
This paper is an attempt to share an experience of how the pandemic
enabled both the teacher and learner to break their own shell of limited
ways of learning, to explore new, untapped sources of bringing forth their
respective potential to their fullest during the most difficult times. This paper
