Notice Title

UWS: Provision of a Supported Social Learning Platform

Notice Description

In particular we want 1. to be in a position to exploit opportunities in AI, AR and VR as they develop, 2. in parallel with developing innovative approaches to teaching and assessment, and 3. supporting our staff as they transition to managing a less homogeneous student population who want to engage in synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences, across a wide range of diverse academic disciplines.
