To further embrace the Faculty culture of internationalisation 'at home', the Faculty organises monthly I@Home webinars, aimed to inspire, connect and support teachers in exploring the possibilities of internationalisation within their own teaching practice. These webinars take place online through Zoom and require registration beforehand. After each webinar, a recording will be placed online so you can revisit the session anytime you wish.

How can we use digital platforms and tools to foster active learning and online collaboration? How can we mix synchronous and asynchronous learning spaces to ensure that everyone has a voice? This session will outline some principles and give examples of how to start designing more active online education.
