Digital Technology Tour of Queen's University

Description

As part of the Queen’s University Educational Technologists' Forum Professional Development Series, the "Digital Technology Tour of Queen's University" provided an immersive experience for educational technology staff to become familiar with the extensive digital resources available across the institution. The event was organised and led by Dr Matt Birch, Laura Farling, and Shelby Hanna.

The tour took participants through various digital education facilities across the Queen's University Belfast campus, showcasing the diverse technologies and learning environments that support innovative teaching and learning. Attendees explored state-of-the-art digital classrooms, collaborative learning spaces, and specialised virtual / metaverse media labs that are integral to enhancing the student experience.

Beyond familiarisation, the event was designed to foster networking among colleagues, encouraging the exchange of ideas and building connections across departments. By gaining an understanding of the digital infrastructure and resources available, educational technology professionals are better positioned to integrate these tools into their work effectively, ultimately supporting enhanced learning experiences for students.

This event was a valuable step towards increasing collaboration and the utilisation of digital resources across Queen's University, contributing meaningfully to the professional development of all participants.
