HLST Annual Conference

"Going for Gold"

Enriching student learning through the 2012 Games

9th November 2010
St Hugh's College
Oxford

The 2010 conference explored opportunities presented by the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to re-vitalise curricula to enhance student learning opportunities and experiences, and to encourage student engagement with learning.

Workshop sessions provided opportunities to share developmental initiatives in learning, teaching and assessment in which the Games can be used to revitalise the learning experience of students and to engage them with learning. 

Videos of various presentations are available from the Conference Video Page, with more to be added shortly.
