I warmly invite you to join our live Panel on «creative teaching techniques for media development» on July 23, 1:00 noon SAST/CEST, 4:30 pm IST.
One of our goals is to start a conversation about best practices of training media development experts at university level and nurturing an ongoing exchange. We want to start this with a series of sessions on selected topics. In our panel on “creative teaching techniques” we want to exchange different assignments, classroom exercises, digital innovations, and other strategies for engaging students on the subject. For this we are inviting academics and practitioners to share their best practices.
