Think Education

Happy New Year from Christopher Hill and Judith Lamie.  In this short episode we debate past, present and future and introduce a new series of podcasts - to be released over the next few weeks - where we talk to colleagues from around the world and learn from their experiences, perspectives and assessment of the state of international higher education.  Stay tuned for some fascinating episodes!

In this episode Judith and myself discuss traditional and emerging pathways to education and discuss the ways in which students approach and access learning.

In this episode, Judith Lamie and I tackle the subject of community and how a university is shaped by, and in turn shapes, its surroundings.  We discuss our experiences in different countries and how this has informed our current approach and understanding.

In this episode, Judith Lamie and myself are joined by two student contributors - Bevin Anandarajah (University of London in Paris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bevin-anandarajah-573345136/?originalSubdomain=fr) and Tabby Nawaz (British University in Dubai - @TabbyNawaz) - to our recent book.  We discuss their views to teaching and learning during the pandemic; their approach to writing and their overall experience with publishing the book.  The episode was recorded earlier this year.
 

Number 2 in our series about writing a book online and at distance. In this episode we discuss working with contributors and the collaborative element of writing.

This is the first in a series of podcasts charting our journey writing a book during lockdown.  Judith and I discuss the challenges and joys of working together at distance and marvel at how productive we were!

A brief welcome and overview of the Think Education podcast

A conversation about the future of teaching and learning; the moral obligation to provide education; wellbeing and the use of technology

The world has recently shifted to online learning and this has presented both opportunities and challenges. Dr Christopher Hill and Dr Tendai Charles discuss the recent changes to teaching and learning; how to integrate technology in teaching effectively; the role of the teacher today; online assessment; and the next steps for education.

Dr Hill sat down with colleagues from Westminster International University in Tashkent, an established TNE university in Uzbekistan, to discuss the current education sector, recent developments, student experience and the future of international education in Uzbekistan.
