LTEE Conference

The Learning, Teaching, Engagement and Enhancement Conference [LTEEC] was a product of a recommendation from the Higher Education Review of Nelson College London, which took place in September 2017. It was recommended that “the College devise cross-College mechanisms for staff and students to come together to identify and share good practice, to support the enhancement of learning opportunities”.

Therefore, the LTEEC become an annual platform for the College with the following aims:

· To provide a forum for staff and students to come together to identify and share good practices at a

wider College level.

· To identify areas for augmentation, and to support the enhancement of learning opportunities.

The first LTEE Conference was held on the 03 July 2018 at the College’s Gants Hill campus; the event has continued every year thereafter (see conference focuses, below), being taken online during Covid, but returning to an in-person event thereafter.

From 2022, the annual Employability & Entrepreneurship Forum [E&EF], which had had its genesis in 2018, was combined with the LTEEC, with a number of aims:

· To create a bigger, better, event;

· To allow for effective diary planning, making the most effective use of both students’ and staffs’ time;

· To make effective use of budgets.

In 2023, the events were held for the first time at an external venue, adding to their perceived value and sense of occasion.

The Conference Topics, so far, have been:

· 2018 Learning, Teaching, Engagement and Enhancement – particularly, Enhancing Attendance and Submissions
