Technology-Enhanced Learning Symposium

2023 Technology-Enhanced Learning Symposium: "Open Horizons"

In the realms of higher education, the pervasive use of technology during the Covid-19 pandemic seems to have left an indelible imprint on how and where we learn together. For this year's TEL Symposium, we would like to explore new and emerging contexts for teaching and learning with technology at UT.

• What kinds of new tools or opportunities offer opportunities and challenges (e.g., ChatGPT)?
• How do we define the spaces of learning from differing vantage points?
• How has technology both expanded and created new barriers for shared understanding?
• What role does technology have to play in addressing equity issues in higher education?
• What role does online or hyflex learning have to play in the reimagined future(s) we face?
• How should we see the exponentially increased use of data in understanding student learning and retention?
• What elements of the digital divide and the gaps in our perceptions about the student experience and student realities must we continue to address?
• How are our partners or collaborators (on- or off-campus) considering opportunities to work and learn with us?
• What can remain digital/digitally-mediated and what must be restored the "non-digital" learning?
• How can we push back against the privileged metaphor of "seeing" as a way of knowing or interacting with our students? How can we reimagine this concept from the perspective of accessibility or inclusivity?
