Find out how you can use HELIX in your teaching - whether it's running creative or VR sessions, or using our media studios for assessment.
Join us for a series of sessions aimed at equipping staff involved in teaching at the University of Leeds with the skills to use HELIX's technologies and spaces as part of their practice. If you've wanted to embed VR into your module, use the Makerspace to deliver creative and experiential sessions, or use media as an alternate form of assessment, this session is for you.
HELIX in Teaching will explore different elements of HELIX's offer, with sessions focusing on the Media Studios, Makerspace and XR Zone. Each session will give an overview of how that space works and how it might be incorporated into your teaching practice.
These sessions will be delivered by HELIX's teams of experts, with a focus on practical applications. Our aim is to give you the space to begin exploring how you might use HELIX in your teaching, with case studies, examples and opportunities to begin planning sessions.
There will be four sessions across the day, see below for more details. Attendees are encouraged to come to them all, but are welcome to pick those most relevant to them.
Please ensure you select the sessions you want to attend as add-ons when you book tickets. If you have any queries, please email helix@leeds.ac.uk
