Panel Discussion ENG112
Students as Digital Changemakers
Students in this panel are by no means passive consumers of education. Instead, they actively collaborate year round to influence and shape the development of learner-centred digital learning within their higher education institution. Based on a nation-wide survey, they will share their views on topics such as where and how they use digital tools; which tools and methods institutions can consider to better support learners; and, last but not least, how institutions can create more opportunities to involve learners in the process of digitisation.
