BERN Seminar


Speaker: Dr Natasa Lackovic
Date: Tuesday,  15 November 2016
Time: 1.15
Location: BS3/28


Our speaker is Dr Natasa Lackovic from Lancaster University and her talk is directly relevant to how we can understand and analyse teaching-learning interactions in our provided spaces (classroom/online) and it has application across a range of disciplines.  Dr Lackovic has provided the following summary:

"Exploring teaching-learning interactions in Higher Education: building on visual approaches

Dr Lackovic will first present arguments in favour of Higher Education pedagogy and research that considers and includes non-verbal forms of communication and artefacts. This is not to single them out from language or dispute the value of language, but rather to state their legitimate and much needed space in Higher Education studies and practice towards new theorisation of that practice. 

Consideration will then be given to the field of multimodality and semiotics to help discover and analyse what is happening in teaching-learning spaces and how those can be cross-fertilised with emerging learning theories.  The talk will provide an introduction and examples of an "inquiry graphics" approach developed in her doctoral thesis which can be applied across a range of disciplines including those in our Business School."
