If you’re looking for new teaching and learning ideas for the coming academic year, then lecture capture recordings of presentations from the 2015 Cass Teaching and Learning Showcase might provide some inspiration. The annual event is always a great opportunity to hear about innovative educational projects that have taken place, not just at Cass Business School, but across all schools at City University London.
The Keynotes
The theme for this year’s Showcase was Innovation in e-Learning. After an introduction to the day from Associate Dean for Education, Dr Lorenzo Trapani, the first keynote address was given by the Cass Director of e-Learning, Sam Brenton. He presented his personal views about developing effective online learning and discussed the new framework for e-Learning at Cass. Dr Steven Truxal from the City Law School gave the second keynote and shared his experiences of designing and developing a fully-online distance learning programme.
