- if your talk proposal is accepted, you will have to be present on the day

This could be an approach, tool, activity or design that could inspire fellow educators. It could be a unique way of engaging students, creative use of one of the built-in tools in the VLE or a simple tweak that made a big impact. This is an opportunity to share something innovative, exciting, or just plain fun in your course design. What feels like everyday practice to you might spark fresh ideas for others. To submit a proposal, please include up to 100 words describing the good practice which  you will be showcasing.

Please note:
- that the text you submit will be included in Symposium programme
- space is limited so it may not be possible to include all examples
- if your talk proposal is accepted, you will have to be present on the day
