Open session on Teaching and Learning in Higher Education
Convener: Elizabeth Petrie

'In this session we encourage contributions of general interest within the Higher Education community which are not covered by other sessions. The session is open to all areas involving the teaching of geoscience and all related fields in higher education with a particular interest in current innovations and trends in geoscience education research. Examples might include describing a new resource available to the community, presenting a solution to a teaching challenge, pros and cons of a new educational technique/technology e.g. generative AI and chat bots, linking taught science content to societally relevant challenges/issues, developing critical thinking skills through the curriculum and effective strategies for online/remote instruction and/or hybrid/blended learning.

Our intent with this session is to foster international discourse on common challenges and strategies for people teaching in higher education - let's share, discuss, reflect and develop effective practice and educational scholarship.
