Educational Technology Community of Practice
About the CoP
The purpose of this CoP is to give all community members the opportunity to develop their thinking and practice in relation to educational technology by talking about research, teaching or projects they have been involved with linked to EdTech, and to share examples of practice and ‘theory into practice’ from both within and outside the institution.
If you are interested in joining and shaping the Ed Tech Community of Practice or have any enquiries relating to the Ed Tech CoP, contact PA to Director of Education Faculty of Health and Education.
Our focus for 20/21
- To continue to use the Cop as a means of developing and facilitating a supportive dialogue about educational technology.
- To continue to use the Cop to support learning about educational technology.
- To share good practice and new ideas with colleagues (both academic and professional services).

- To ensure staff in departments feel confident and comfortable using technology as part of their teaching.
- To explore how the CoP’s learning and experiences can impact long-term teaching and learning.

- To use the CoP to share online delivery best practice as well as to explore opportunities for where elements of current practice can continue in a Covidian and post-Covid world.
- To bring together academics and professional services to improve education technology reliant processes.
- To find time to connect with others more.
- To read recent research to ensure that we are engaging in evidence based practice.
