Digital leaders programme - 3-26 November 2026

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Digital technologies play a central role in the ways that today's students manage their lives and work - and they expect their university or college and its staff to be similarly open to the potential of digital.

How do you meet their expectations? How does your organisation craft and implement a digital strategy that enhances learning and teaching, builds reputation and enables you to develop a competitive edge?

The course will be led by our subject specialists John Sumpter, Chris Thomson and Zac Gribble.

Who will lead the digital agenda?

Whether you are already in a leadership role or you have one in your sights, our digital leaders programme will equip you to lead the digital agenda. Over four days (two, two-day residentials) we'll inspire you and give you the tools, knowledge and confidence to pass that inspiration on to others within your organisation.

As a leader (or aspiring leader) your organisation needs you to:

Invest in your personal and professional development to keep your skills and knowledge current

Explore how organisations can engage more effectively and creatively with digital technology - at both strategic and operational levels

Discover and reflect on how digital technology is changing the way your organisation operates - creating new leadership challenges and strategic opportunities

Learn to lead, manage and influence digitally driven change across organisations, departments, services and teams

CPD Webinar: Student perspectives on the limitation of learning analytics | Association for Learning Technology

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In an era marked by the pervasive datafication of society and education, higher education institutions increasingly employ learning analytics (LA) - popularly defined as the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners to understand and optimise learning environments. However, while LA promises benefits, its implementation often overlooks the perspectives and concerns of students, who are the primary data subjects. This webinar will provide an opportunity to reflect on the efficacy of LA by exploring the views of students’ who interacted with personal dashboards comprising their virtual learning environment data. Students highlighted concerns around agency, fairness, accuracy, transparency, and trust within institutional data practices. The webinar will provide space for discussion so we can developer a keener understanding of the affordances, and more importantly, the limitations, of learning analytics, and what that means for our practice as learning technology developers and those who support learning and teaching.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This session explores accessible communication as a mindset, not a checkbox. Are your digital communications truly accessible, or just technically compliant? Relevant to anyone communicating with staff or learners, and directly applicable to learning experience design, it looks at emails, documents, presentations and social media through an inclusion-first lens. We will unpack what accessible communication really means, why it matters, and how to move beyond relying on built-in accessibility checkers. By reflecting on how inclusive practices sometimes happen by accident, the session encourages a shift towards intentional, purposeful design, helping you build habits and cultures where accessibility and inclusion are the default.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Following the success of our Treasure Island Pedagogies podcast series, the Centre for Innovation in Education at the University of Liverpool are planning an online, open Festival that connects educators, educational developers and learning technologists across the globe.

What is the vision behind the Festival?

Evidence shows that innovation spreads at the intersection of disciplinary boundaries (Warren, 2011). By connecting educators across cultural and disciplinary boundaries, we hope to stimulate exciting collaboration underpinned by a passion for education. In this open space, educators will share innovation and co-create an imagined future of education.

What is the Treasure Island Pedagogies podcast format?

We invite guests in groups of 3 - 4 to share what they would take to a Treasure Island. The considerations are: a lightbulb moment (when you feel your students 'are getting it'), a teaching prop or a pedagogy, and a luxury item. See example conversations on the Treasure Island Pedagogies Podcast series webpage under the Episodes menu.

The event

It will take place at 08:00(BST) - 20:00(BST) on Tuesday 10 May 2022. An online, open and free event. You can join activities throughout the day depending on your time zone.

How will the day be organised?

To enable you to join in from any time zone, we will schedule 3 'repeat' sessions within the day - you can join in with one of these, or as many as you wish and able to do. Each session will last between 2-3 hours. We are still planning the event so timings may change.

1. Australasia/Eastern Asia timezone - morning starting 8.00 (BST)

2. Africa/Europe timezone - lunchtime starting 12.00 (BST)

3. Americas timezone - afternoon starting 16.00 (BST)

What will you get out of taking part?

Meeting colleagues across the globe who are passionate about education.

Sharing and listening to educational innovations and ideas.

Having space to think 'big' and consider some educational futures.

Enjoy creating and having fun.

How to register?

Please bear with us, we are still working behind the scenes.

Registration will be available soon.

In the meantime, please block your diary for Tuesday 10 May 2022 for a day of Innovation festival.

Outcomes

New connections made between educators, ideas of educational innovations shared; and in longer term: implemented, adapted, used innovation ideas with newly formed collaborations.

What support will we have available?

We are unlikely to have funding, so would need to look at using free platforms. Our Digital Resource Team in Centre for Innovation in Education will be able to support some of our activities, including multimedia support; HTML email for promotion; video trailer promotion for Twitter; banners and all potential graphics for the event.
