Over the past months, our Flexible Learning team spoke to as many staff and students as possible to learn more about what they need to make the move to blended and flexible learning a success to help us shape our strategy.

Now we’d like to share the outputs of this engagement with you, as well as giving you a first look at key headlines from our draft strategy, which will go to Senate for endorsement in October 2022.

It’s a chance to learn more about what the future of teaching and learning at the University of Manchester will look like, ask questions and let us know if there’s anything we’re missing.

Professor Dan George, Associate Vice-President for Blended Learning, and Steve Pettifer, Deputy Director for Flexible Learning, will host the event.

They will be joined by the Flexible Learning academic theme leads and Faculty leads for the programme, as well as members of the SU exec team:

Caroline Bowsher, Academic Theme Lead for the Digital Learning Environment.

Angela Davies, Academic Theme Lead for the Digital Learning Environment.

Jane Mooney, Academic Theme Lead for Digital Skills and Capabilities.

Julia Gerda Sokk, Postgraduate Officer at The University of Manchester's Students' Union

Miguel Gonzalez-Valdes Tejero, Education Officer at The University of Manchester's Students' Union

Paul Shore, Associate Dean for Flexible and Digital Learning, FBMH

Niels Walet, Associate Dean for online and flexible learning, FSE

Rebecca Bennett, Associate Dean for Teaching, Learning and Student Experience (DL and online), HUMS
