Using Technology to Teach Politics
30 October 2023 · Online
UCL’s Centre for the Pedagogy of Politics (CPP) hosted this 90 minute online panel on the theme of Using Technology to Teach Politics, the first in a series of events on teaching and learning in Politics.
The event was intended to provide a wide ranging discussion on how new technology can be incorporated effectively into teaching, concerns about particular uses of technology, and ways of using older technologies differently or more effectively.
The panel was aimed at political scientists and political theorists interested in pedagogical scholarship, as well as educators looking for practical ideas and insights for their own teaching. The programme also allowed time for audience questions.
