SUMMARY:EUA 2026 European Learning & Teaching Forum
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Ongoing developments such as the rise of artificial intelligence\, changing demographics\, labour market demands and learning needs\, as well as larger-scale societal shifts towards a knowledge economy have spurred reflections on how higher education can safeguard its fitness-for-purpose and relevance in the future. These reflections\, in turn\, have repeatedly pointed to a need for more innovative approaches to learning and teaching. This need concerns all aspects of how higher education is delivered\, but the focus of this Forum will be on how staff development can be (re- )designed to facilitate innovation in learning and teaching\, with systemic impact on student learning. \nHow can institutions develop their staff’s capacity to adequately use – and perhaps even themselves develop – innovative pedagogical methods\, resources and tools? Which approaches work to give due support and recognition to early adopters\, and how can their impact be evaluated? Finally\, how can staff be equipped with the agility to adapt to and tackle future educational challenges\, and be encouraged to become innovators themselves? These and other questions will be the focus of the 2026 edition of the European Learning & Teaching Forum. \nThrough a mix of plenary and parallel sessions\, the Forum provides a platform for discussion and exchange of practice on how universities enhance\, innovate and transform learning and teaching. The Forum also presents the work of the 2025 Learning & Teaching Thematic Peer Groups. It aims to gather higher education professionals working at different levels on matters of learning and teaching to exchange and discuss institutional practice and policy developments. The Forum is an ideal event for vice-rectors for academic affairs\, deans\, heads of learning and teaching centres\, and management involved in learning and teaching. It also welcomes students\, policy makers and other stakeholders in higher education. \nVisit https://eua.eu/events/eua-events/2026-european-learning-teaching-forum.html[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Commuter Student Experience in Ireland - Guides and Report Launch
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nDuring 2024-2025\, Prof. Liz Thomas (University of York) led a research project exploring commuter students’ experiences and changes for HEIs to consider that would improve their experiences and outcomes.  This project was delivered under the N-TUTORR Student Empowerment program (2022-2025)\, co-led by Dr Carina Ginty (ATU) and Dr Moira Maguire (DKIT) and supported by TUA and the HEA. \n\n\nIt addressed the questions: \n\n\nHow does being a commuter student impact on student experiences and outcomes in higher education institutions in Ireland?\nHow can higher education institutions improve the experience and outcomes of commuter students?\n\n\nIt found that some fundamental changes are required within higher education institutions to engage and support commuter students effectively. All institutions\, however\, are encouraged to implement the quick wins guide as we commence the new academic year. Further guides are available to access below and include: \n\n\n\nBeing a Commuter Student in Ireland\nWhat Commuter Students Want\nQuick Wins Guide for Commuter Students\n\n\nThe Commuter Student Experience in Ireland Report will be launched on October 17th (online) with Prof. Liz Thomas. All are welcome across the sector to join this lunchtime webinar. You can register to attend here[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
